Gilmer Chamber – Pay it Forward Gilmer

April 16, 2020

Have you ever pulled up to pay at a drive thru only to find out that your ticket had already been covered? That feeling is the essence of the Pay it Forward Challenge.

Your business can contact the Chamber to get the funds and media package you need to start this process. From there you can begin contacting loyal customers to let them know that they have been gifted a $25 gift card and asking them to pass on the favor.

In receiving a gift card to your business and passing on the favor, customers help business owners continue to generate revenue. Thank you to Faith, Hope, and Charity for providing the funds necessary to get this process started for our local businesses! Contact The Chamber to get your business set up with this program today!

Check out this short video for a more in-depth explanation of the process:
