90% of every dollar raised (- CC fee) will be given back to participating restaurants
The Why
Helping with a community LIFELINE
Many of our local restaurants are on the brink of collapse threatening not only the owner's equity but a major part of our region’s labor base is connected to the hospitality industry.
The What
Partnering with Wilmington Business Journal and US Foods, Bloom's will use its fundraising online resources to deliver a campaign to raise funds in support of local participating dine-in restaurants in the greater Wilmington area.
The How
Participating Restaurants would offer a minimum of a one-time discount on our
VIP Bonus Rewards platform which would serve to incentivize and thank the donor. A suggested restaurant offer would be a one-time10%-20% discount (excluding alcohol). All discounts will be included on Bloom's mydeals app.
There is no cost to participating restaurants outside of the discount they provide.
The Goal
-Generate significant funds for dine-in restaurant owners in the surrounding communities.
-Help protect the jobs of your employees
-Drive new business to these restaurants
-Deliver a positive message of community goodwill.
The Ask
Donors will be asked to donate a minimum of $20 in return to receive all participating local restaurant discounts plus the total benefits of Bloom’s VIP Bonus Membership that traditionally sell for $20. Each VIP Bonus Rewards Membership includes a $100 travel credit to use at 1,000,000+ hotels and resorts as well as thousands of other “app-friendly” local and national digital retail savings.(vipbonusrewards.com).
The online campaign will run for 3 weeks beginning 3/1/2021.
