This holiday season, the Columbia Chamber invites you to shop local and celebrate big with our Shop Small, Celebrate Big campaign! This fun and rewarding initiative encourages you to explore our vibrant community, support local businesses, and earn the chance to win exciting prizes. This campaign is open to everyone in the community - join us in supporting local businesses and celebrating big!
How It Works
1️⃣ Pick up your Shop Small, Celebrate Big passport from the Columbia Chamber office or download it HERE.
2️⃣ Visit any participating business and shop! During checkout, the business will write its name on the spending value listed in your passport.
3️⃣ Once you’ve completed all the spending values to total $100, submit your passport by January 17, 2025.
Every completed passport will be entered into a drawing for fabulous prizes, including gift cards, unique experiences, and more. It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting the businesses that make our community thrive!
