#SupportLocalCessnock this February to win

Published on 25 January 2023

Cessnock City Council’s Economic Development Team has five $100 gift cards to giveaway as part of its ongoing ‘Support Local’ campaign.

For the month of February, residents are encouraged to post to Facebook and give a shout out in 25 words or less to an onpointe hairdresser or beautician in the Cessnock Local Government Area. Entrants must also include a photo of the business, the staff (with permission) or their new hairstyle.

Cessnock City Mayor Jay Suvaal said it was important to support local business and encouraged residents to get involved with this worthwhile initiative.

“This is an excellent opportunity to showcase the local talent in our community, and show support to local businesses,” Mayor Suvaal said.

“Shopping local ensures local businesses are able to thrive and for residents to experience all that the Cessnock Local Government Area has to offer.”

To ensure the team can see your entry, set the post to public and use the hashtag #SupportLocalCessnock. Residents can enter as many times as they like and are encouraged to tag the local business mentioned in the post.

The ‘Support Local’ campaign is all about encouraging residents to support local business.

This competition will run from 1 to 28 February 2023. For terms and conditions, visit the Advance Greater Cessnock website and be sure to follow the Advance Cessnock City Facebook page to stay up-to-date with the ‘Support Local’ campaign.

Local business owners can access the ‘Support Local’ campaign toolkit via the Advance Greater Cessnock website to help promote their services and facilities.

Mayor Suvaal is available to make further comment on this project.
