YOUR No.1 newspaper has teamed up with town traders and the district council to support the Spa with a new scheme which can save shoppers money and get them the best deals.

A loyalty card has been produced for town businesses by the Advertiser with Wychavon District Council and traders group the Droitwich Spa Association for Retail, Tourism and Services (DARTS).

Shoppers who support the traders will be rewarded with special deals if they use the card with firms taking part in the scheme.

The card, which will be attached to our Information Guide to be published next year, will be valid at a wide range of participating businesses.

Traders taking part will show the logo on their advertisements in the guide and in their shop windows, on their premises or vehicles.

Bargains available could range from discounts on goods or services or added value to help shoppers get more for their money.

The offers will be different each week and the Advertiser will carry details of the up-to-date deals.

Cash prizes will also be up for grabs every week in a special draw of the three-digit unique reference numbers found on all the cards: just match the numbers in the paper and the prize is yours.

The scheme is a tried and tested success which has revitalised towns such as Leominster, in Herefordshire, and Keighley, in Yorkshire.

Now it looks set to take Droitwich Spa from strength to strength.
