2019 GMCU $30,000 GIVEAWAY ON NOW! DO YOU need to buy a gift for a loved one or friend? Looking for something delicious for lunch? Or perhaps there is a little something you have had your eye on for a while to purchase. Well, the 2019 GMCU $30,000 Giveaway is on now and all you need to do to win a share in regional Australia’s largest shopping local promotion is spend $10 at a participating store! For 17 years, The Adviser, in partnership with the GMCU, has been rewarding the community for shopping locally through a special giveaway promotion, and this year the 2019 GMCU $30,000 Giveaway is set to continue its growth trend, with over 160 businesses expected to participate this year. During last year’s promotion, a record 98,545 entries were submitted at over 160 local participating businesses, with shoppers once again being given the chance to enter this year’s promotion at over 160 local businesses. Included are mainstream retailers, jewellers, cosmetics, eyewear, supermarkets, specialty stores, bedding, whitegoods, tools, food outlets, tyres, fashion, furniture, toys, shoes, phones, flooring, mowers, manchester, books, giftware, computers, automotive, hardware, camping, shooting, fishing and much more right across the Greater Shepparton. The Adviser managing director,
Geoff Adams said, “The giveaway shopping local promotion began in 2003 and since then we have seen 226 winners and almost 900,000 paid entries placed at hundreds of local businesses. “That means that together with GMCU and with help from the local community, we have helped to keep the support up for local business and continue to grow our wonderful region. “We are proud to see the GMCU throwing their support behind such an important initiative. They have always been a big advocate of the local community and have been involved in helping support many local groups, organisations, residents and the wider business community and this is just another way that they continue to do that. “While employees and owners of participating businesses are not eligible to enter themselves at their own businesses, they can enter at other businesses. So everybody has the chance to win. “We are also once again going to have the ‘employee participation category,’ where a staff member who signed a winning ticket will go in the draw for the chance to win $1,000.
But it doesn’t stop there. We also have eight consultation prize winners this year of $500 each, which is an increase by four in previous years, and we are once again offering $500 supplementary prizes to businesses with the most number of entries in their category of 1-4 employees, 5-15 employees and 16 plus employees. “Congratulations once again to last year’s major prize winner, Wendy Barton, who walked away with a $5,000 holiday voucher thanks to Lyn McNaught Travel and a $5,000 GMCU debit card… you could be our next $10,000 winner; all you have to do is shop locally at participating businesses to be in the running.” GMCU CEO, Melissa Ralph commented, “As a customer-owned financial institution GMCU is committed to providing a local banking alternative. “We are proud of the small part we play in our local region, and encourage locals to explore everything our area has to offer by shopping at the many fantastic businesses we have in Greater Shepparton.” $30,000 UP FOR GRABS… From left, GMCU staff member and 2019 GMCU $30,000 Giveaway model, Maria Varapodio, GMCU CEO Melissa Ralph, The Adviser managing director, Geoff Adams and GMCU staff member and 2019 GMCU $30,000 Giveaway model, Jisha Joy.
