What’s better than supporting local? Getting free money for supporting local. By shopping from small, local retailers for your Christmas presents this year you can actually earn even more money to put towards those gifts. And, hey, we won’t judge if you want to put some of that free-earned money towards a little something-something to put under the tree for yourself this year. After all, since you’re making the nice list for helping to support local, you deserve it!

We’ve made it really easy for you to earn free money to spend on buying gifts from small, local businesses. There are five different, super-simple ways to earn Shop Locorum credit, which you can spend on your favourite local businesses at www.shop.locorum.ca. Shop Locorum has over 1000 different items and services from some of London’s best small, local businesses so you’ll have your Christmas shopping done in NO time.

How To Earn Free Money

You probably want to know what exactly is involved with earning free money for local Christmas gifts. Is it going to take a lot of your already-limited time? Nope. Will it be difficult? Not at all. Is it easy? You betcha. Take a look at the five different ways to earn free money for local Christmas presents this year!

Option One: Make An Account

Yes, it really is that easy. Just by making an account on Shop Locorum, we’re going to give you $10 in Locorum Credit to spend on your favourite local retailer. What does it take to make an account? You fill out your name, email address, and create a password. Then, check a box to verify that you’re not a robot and then…that’s it. Seriously, it’s that easy. When you log in to your Locorum Account next time you want to shop, just click to check out your Rewards Account and you’ll see your $10 credit sitting there, waiting to be spent.

Option Two: Shop For Gifts

While you shop your favourite local vendors through Shop Locorum, earn money! Check people off of your Christmas list and get 2% back on every purchase that you make on Shop Locorum. That credit goes right back into your Rewards Account for you to use on future purchases!

Skip the crowded malls and stay safe and comfy at home while you buy gifts. No need to take off the sweats or turn off Netflix this year! Shop Locorum only has local vendors, so you can support small businesses while you Christmas shop. Plus, once your order is fulfilled, you’ll get your gifts delivered to you in 24 hours! Oh, and? No matter how many different businesses you’re buying from, at Shop Locorum you only ever pay one flat shipping rate.

So go ahead and play Santa from your couch, and make money to spend on even more gifts (or whatever else you want) while you do it.

Option Three: Give A Friend Money And Get Money For You

Get a custom link and share it with friends and family to give them $5 to use towards supporting local. When they make their first purchase of $25 or more, you’ll see a crisp $5 in your Rewards Account waiting for you. There’s no limit to the number of people that you can invite so go ahead and spread the holiday cheer, give your loved ones $5 to support local, and get $5 in return when they do!

Giving the $5 couldn’t be easier. Log into your Shop Locorum account and click on your Rewards Account. There you’ll see the Give $5, Earn $5 box. Click on that and then tap the green “Share Your Link” button. You can either share it on Facebook, Twitter, Email, or you can even just copy the link and text or message it out to anyone. It’s that easy!

Option Four: Use A Local Professional When You’re Buying/Selling/Refinancing Your Home

If you’re buying, selling, or refinancing your home, you could earn up to $1500 in your Rewards Account. Locorum has partnered with top-rated local business professionals in the industry.

Let us introduce you to the best in the game. They’ll help you buy/sell or refinance your home and then we’ll give you money to shop your favourite local retailer at Shop Locorum. Sounds good, right? I mean, if you’re buying/selling or refinancing anyway, why not use top-rated professionals and get free money to do it?

You can even check to see how much credit into your Rewards Account you’d be eligible for with our Credit Calculator.

Why Support Local

When you’re doing your Christmas shopping this year, you might be tempted to jump on Amazon and use the mammoth company to knock off a bunch of items off of your to-buy list. I mean, why not? It’s easy, right? Well, shopping local is just as easy with Shop Locorum. Shop Locorum is London’s best and most-loved local brands under one virtual roof. You can shop from as many as you want from the comfort of your own home, pay one flat-rate for shipping, and have them delivered to your door within 24 hours of the orders being fulfilled.

So why choose Local? Well, shopping local means getting high-quality gifts that were crafted with love and care from passionate entrepreneurs. It’s also good for the planet because shopping locally means a reduced carbon footprint for everything you buy! Plus, when you shop local, you’re helping a fellow Londoner achieve their dreams and validating the time, money, and energy that they’ve poured into their businesses.

When you buy Christmas gifts for your loved ones at Shop Locorum, you’re getting incredible gifts that you can’t buy anywhere else, you’re being kind to the planet, you’re helping a Londoner survive and thrive through these crazy times, and you’re earning free money for yourself. It’s that simple.
