How would you like to save money AND support our local Lake Norman businesses? Well, thanks to Tim Ready, a local Lake Norman resident, it has never been so easy!
It all started when the Mooresville South Iredell Chamber of Commerce announced their “Buy Local” campaign in an effort to gain support for all of our locally owned and operated businesses during these challenging financial times. When Tim learned about this campaign he told me “a light bulb went off”. He did some research and launched BlipLakeNorman.com.
The premise of BlipLakeNorman is simple: Local businesses sign on to be a member, consumers like ourselves get a BLIP keytag (Like a grocery store tag) which are available at any of the businesses that are members. Every time you go into a business that is a member of BlipLakeNorman you get a specific discount. For Example (This is from their website as of today, November 2, 2009 and will most likely change so please go to BlipLakeNorman.com for the latest discounts!):
