Calpe Town Council, through the Department of Economic Promotion, has launched a new Bono Comercio campaign with the aim of continuing to encourage shopping at local businesses.
Individuals over 18 years old (as of 1st June 2024), registered in the municipality, can benefit from this campaign. They can purchase through a consumer vouchers platform - bonocomerciocalpe.es - worth 20 €, 50 €, 100 € and 150 € each, which can be exchanged in the establishments participating in the campaign. In this edition, the maximum nominal value of the voucher has been increased for the first time to €150 (previously the maximum value of the voucher was €100).
The vouchers are 50% subsidised so consumers double the value of their purchase. Each citizen can apply for a maximum of €150 in vouchers and each voucher purchased can be redeemed on a single purchase which must be equal to or greater than the value of the voucher.
SMEs, small self-employed entrepreneurs or professionals with less than 50 employees can join the campaign by applying online through the platform provided by the collaborating entity Associació d'Empresa i Comerç de Calpe - empresarioscalpe.es - until 16 September. The deadline for submitting applications for the purchase of vouchers by consumers will be from 17 September to 12 October (both included).
The City Council will allocate 500,000 euros to this initiative, which will mean a total injection of 1,000,000 euros, between the municipal contribution and the citizens' investment. If at the end of this first phase there is still money available, a second call for applications will be launched in order to offer more opportunities for both traders and customers to benefit.
