For the past 10 years, the Trade-A-Thon has been the biggest Local Gift Certificate Exchange. An online event, that takes place once a year, where you can access hundreds of local gift certificates by simply swapping gift certificates from your business!

 

The idea behind it, was for our local businesses to purchase items for their business, for themselves, to reward their employees, or as gifts during the holiday season.

 

So, what exactly is it…?

» An online event where you can spend the amount you contribute (in “Gift Certificates”) at other locally-owned businesses around the Okanagan.

 

» We create each business contributor an account on our online shopping portal, deposit the credit for the amount of gift certificate they contributed, and allow them to shop on the online Gift Certificate portal!

 

» All Gift Certificates are created through the Trade-A-Thon portal electronically. And, they are completely trackable so you know who the new faces are that are interested in your business.
