How to Participate as a Business

• Fill out the business submission form by clicking on the "Sign Me Up" link at the top of this email, or click here.  
• Create an offer that is clear, concise and unique to the Buy Local Card. 
• Create or claim your free Hardin Local Biz Directory listing here.

As a participating business that will be advertised to cardholders, your offer must be honored from the date of submission through the end of that card year.  Participation will be automatically renewed for the following year unless notification of a discount change or cancellation is received by December 1st of the card year. 

Your offer will appear here on our site with all other participating businesses, as well as your Hardin Local biz directory listing.

Card must be presented at the time of purchase in your establishment to receive the discount and must not be expired according to the date on the card.

How the Card Works

Card carriers will have access to unique discounts & special offers at participating locally owned businesses.  This will promote spending at local establishments vs. corporate chains that send money out of our economy.  

25% of the card price will go to the participating charity, school, or non-profit of the card purchaser's choice! 

Card is valid for one full year from date of purchase and will be available online and at select retailers.  Click here to pre-order a card for yourself and save when you shop at other local operations.
