Summer-long opportunity to collect stamps and enter prize drawing

MEDIA RELEASE__Get ready to discover, shop and support local all summer long with the launch of the new Explore Bluffton: Small Business Passport event, an exciting and simplified way to experience everything Bluffton has to offer!

Running from June 1 through Labor Day, the community-wide initiative encourages residents and visitors alike to explore participating local businesses while enjoying the unique charm of Bluffton throughout the summer season.

Participants can pick up a free passport at any participating business and begin collecting stamps by making purchases of at least $10. Each qualifying purchase earns a stamp, and those who collect at least 15 out of 20 stamps by Labor Day will be entered into a special prize drawing.

The Explore Bluffton: Small Business Passport was created to make supporting local businesses more engaging, rewarding, and fun for the entire community.

“This is a great opportunity for both residents and visitors to experience the variety of businesses that make Bluffton such a vibrant place,” said Rene Gabriel, Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce Director. “Whether you’re shopping, dining, or discovering someplace new, the passport makes it easy to explore Bluffton all summer long.”

Community members are encouraged to grab a passport, visit local businesses, and enjoy the experience of shopping local while supporting the small businesses that help make Bluffton thrive.

Passports will be available beginning June 1 at participating businesses. Shop small, support local and have fun!
