Chamber Checks replace Boyne Bucks as the ideal "shop local" gift
The Boyne Area Chamber of Commerce is changing its Boyne Bucks program to a more user-friendly program called Chamber Checks. Like Boyne Bucks, Chamber Checks also make the ideal "shop local" gift that can be redeemed at nearly any business in the Boyne area. Chamber Checks are issued by the Boyne Chamber and are redeemable much like a gift certificate or traveler's check. Chamber Checks make a great gift and encourage purchases at our member businesses. A person can choose where and when to use Chamber Checks, redeeming them at local restaurants, shops, or for professional services. In many ways Chamber Checks function like community-wide gift certificates. Chamber Checks are sold exclusively at the Boyne Chamber in denominations of $10 and $20. We appreciate advance notice for large orders.
HOLIDAY BONUSES - Boyne Bucks are also a great way to give holiday bonuses to your employees. In fact, just recently the Chamber filled an order for a total of more than $6,000 in Chamber Checks from one local employer.
EASIER FOR BUSINESSES - Chamber Checks are easier to use since they are an official bank check through Charlevoix State Bank. So when you receive a payment with a Chamber Check, you can deposit it in your bank account as you would any other check deposit that you make. No more saving up Boyne Bucks, turning them in to the Chamber, going through an invoice process and waiting for your money.
BOYNE BUCKS ARE STILL GOOD and will be redeemable with us for the next 5 years. Businesses should continue to turn in Boyne Bucks as you get them and we will honor them until December 2021.
QUESTIONS? If you have any questions about Chamber Checks or Boyne Bucks, call the Chamber at 231-582-6222 or email Ashley Cousens, ashley@boynechamber.com.
