The fabric of a strong local business sector is woven with the collaborative and supportive efforts of its members. Regardless of what business you’re in, it’s important to recognize the value in supporting other small businesses that operate in your community. After all, a rising tide floats all ships, so it’s simply good business to do what you can to help other people in business continue to find success.
As an owner of two small businesses in Oakville, Adrian John fully subscribes to the notion that helping others is a golden rule of business. That’s why John, a local real estate agent with Royal LePage, has put together a unique opportunity for small business owners to both promote their business and reap substantial discounts on a wide variety of products and services.
John is a member of Corporate Card Plus, a membership-based corporate program for business owners looking to reduce expenses. Members can enjoy special discounts offered exclusively to members by retailers, equipment suppliers, entertainment destinations and hundreds of other brand name goods and service providers linked to the program. Signing up as a member requires a large annual fee. However, John is offering local businesses in the Oakville area a special VIP card that allows businesses to access Corporate Card Plus benefits through his own membership.
“My VIP card has a QR code on it that takes users directly to the platform where they can enjoy all the VIPS perks of the card,” said John, who has developed a large network of business contacts and past real estate customers. “I know a lot of people who have small businesses in downtown Oakville. This is just a way to help them enjoy some great perks offered by Corporate Card Plus.”
John is also offering any business in the area the opportunity to reserve a place in the program that will make their own products and services available to Corporate Card Plus Users.
“Each business can determine a special or discount they would like to offer to our members,” he said. “For example, Sherwin Williams offers 20 percent off, Papa John’s offer a 25 percent discount, and Enterprise offers up to 30 percent off. We have 60-plus partners already and are continuing to grow.”
Anyone interested in the program can get the VIP card and then download the app, which offers users convenient access to discounts. John says it’s a great opportunity for any business to test the value of the program before committing to the full annual Corporate Card Plus membership.
“This is our opportunity to connect our clients with businesses we trust,” he said. “It is also our opportunity to provide an advertising avenue for you to attract new customers, increase sales, and improve your image which will ultimately lead to more local commerce and prosperity for our town.”
