Libertyville to Reward Customers of Car Dealers
Libertyville, IL, July 03, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Purchasers and lessees of new vehicles in Libertyville reap rewards as part of the Shop Libertyville Rewards program. Buy or lease a new vehicle at any of twelve Libertyville dealerships and receive certificates from the Village of Libertyville, usable towards goods and services at participating Libertyville businesses while supplies last. Libertyville residents will receive $200 in certificates and non-residents $100 in certificates. Additionally each dealership will donate $100 towards a local charity for each benefiting customer. The program is intended to encourage people to make Libertyville their car buying destination and to thank them for shopping in Libertyville, while promoting the many great retailers throughout the Village. There are community wide benefits to this effort. The program will be kicked off following the Independence Day fireworks on July 4th sponsored by the Village of Libertyville and the Libertyville Mile of Cars.
According to Libertyville Mayor Terry Weppler, “Vehicle related businesses are crucial to our local economy through their sales taxes, employment, connections to other local business, and their ongoing support of community events and organizations. We are happy to be able to reward customers for shopping Libertyville’s Mile of Cars.”
Auto related businesses represent approximately 60% of all sales tax receipts received by the Village, taxes which support needed services and facilities, including parks, fire and police protection. These businesses also provide employment to nearly 800 people. Their community support extends far beyond taxes and provision of jobs to sponsorship of the Village’s Independence Day fireworks, the Libertyville Township Food Pantry, and more. An interactive map of the dealerships can be found at www.Libertyville.com/MileofCars.
The first thirty customers purchasing or leasing a new vehicle at each of 12 Libertyville dealerships between July 6th - 31st, 2015 are eligible for Libertyville Rewards certificates. In early August, the Village will mail certificates to these customers for their use before October 31, 2015. A list of participating businesses accepting the Rewards will be mailed to certificate holders and will be posted on the Village’s program website in mid-July (www.Libertyville.com/Rewards). Participating businesses may display a sign in their store window indicating they accept Rewards certificates.
Glenn Bockwinkel, co-owner of Acura of Libertyville and Chairman of the Association, is a program supporter. “The dealerships on Libertyville’s Mile of Cars are thrilled to partner with the Village on this program. It’s exciting to be able to reward customers for their local support and to extend the benefit to residents and businesses throughout the community.”
The Libertyville Rewards certificates are a part of the Shop 60048 effort, a program intended to strengthen Libertyville businesses through encouraging area residents to shop locally and educating them about local business offerings. When people shop locally, it does help add to local sales tax revenues which support Village services, but more importantly, it strengthens local businesses and provides employment opportunities.
