Lucky shoppers are set for two-weeks of free goods in city centre shops, stores and eateries starting next Monday (10 March).
Freebie Fortnight, which runs until 23 March, sees participating businesses in the city centre, including food, retail and beauty, offering goods or services up to the value of £5 or £10 to a set number of customers per day.
For full details, all customers have to do is search Freebie Fortnight on Aberdeen City Council’s website or look out for the special window stickers in participating shops. Up to 50 customers a day who say the code word “Freebie Fortnight” to staff in participating stores could be in line for a free item.
The promotion is being led by Aberdeen City Council’s City Development and Regeneration team with funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Councillor Alex McLellan, the Council’s Finance and Resources convener, said: “The Freebie Fortnight promotion will provide a boost to local shops, cafes, and restaurants and also reward customers for their city centre visit”
“Aberdeen City Council is delivering significant city centre regeneration, and this is another great initiative to bring people into the city centre.”
Participating businesses will have an opportunity to devise their own deal based on stock and deliverability.
In Case You Missed it:
A variety of offerings will be ensured, from ‘grab and go’ options which may attract workers and commuters, to sit-down or browsing options which may attract visitors and increase dwell time spent in the city centre.
Freebie Fortnight is being supported by social media and a Northsound radio campaign. For more information on participating outlets, visit: https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services/services-business/freebie-fortnight
