Support & Buy Local
To support local businesses during the COVID-19 crisis, Postmedia is launching the Support and Buy Local Auction, a special online event from June 22-29.
The auction will provide businesses the opportunity to sell their products and services through Edmonton's most trusted media network — at a time when investment is needed but cash flow is limited. Businesses can put items from their existing inventory or Gift certificates up for auction. In return, Postmedia will provide the full retail value of all items sold toward future advertising, regardless of the winning bids.
We are gradually moving toward continued re-opening stages , but in the meantime we still need genuinely creative solutions to help businesses recover from the ongoing and lasting impacts of the pandemic. Our online sale strategy has proven to be highly effective in the past because our network is a powerful vehicle for e-commerce. This is our way to get through this pandemic together, by offering our services to all our incredible partners.
The auction will not only provide a platform for businesses to reach their established customer base, but it will also extend their reach to new audiences, as the event will be promoted extensively online and in print through the Edmonton Journal and Edmonton Sun.
Customers will have the opportunity to support local businesses by bidding on a wide range of products and services at deep discounts. Past Postmedia sales have included a range of goods, from travel packages to furniture, automobiles to jewelry, flooring , renovation , to dining experiences , or hotel stays just to name a few .
The Support and Buy Local Auction begins at noon on June 22 and will be open until June 29 at 8 p.m. Bids will be accepted throughout the duration of the auction, with winners announced by July1st.
