Join Us for the Biggest Year Yet!

Let’s Boost Your Business

During the Best Time of Year

 

Signature Bank of Arkansas and The Scout Guide Northwest Arkansas are once again partnering for our 5th annual Shop Small, Y'all campaign! This year will be the biggest and best year yet for this campaign, which is designed to incentivize shopping, eating, staying, and playing local this holiday season. As a participating business, it's so easy!

 

You don't have to do anything but offer 10% off!

How it Works

 

Shop Small Y'all gift cards are available for purchase in any denomination through Signature to use anywhere, BUT using the cards at local participating Shop Small Y'all businesses (that's you!) awards the cardholder a minimum of 10% off their purchases from November 1 - December 31. 

 

The Scout Guide and Signature will provide ALL marketing materials to help drive traffic to YOUR business during the entire campaign!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I offer a discount that is more than 10%?

Yes! We just ask that you offer a minimum of 10% off, but you are welcome to offer more or something special (ie. gift with purchase) for cardholders.

Do I have to discount everything?

No. While we encourage you to limit your exclusions, we recognize that sometimes it’s necessary (for example, unable to discount alcohol in restaurants or cannot offer medical service discounts).

Do we have to sell the gift cards?

No. All cards are purchased through Signature Bank of Arkansas. You can, however, host a pop-up with The Scout Guide NWA and Signature Bank, where we sell cards at your location during an event or open house. Just ask us!

How do we accept the cards?

The cards are just like a credit card. They have the MasterCard logo and can be run just as you would a credit card.

What happens if the card does not cover the entire purchase?

We recommend asking the client how much is on their card so that you can run a split tender transaction.

How long do I offer 10% off?

The Shop Small, Y’all campaign starts November 1st, 2023 and ends December 31st, 2023. At the end of the campaign, shoppers can still pay with their gift cards, but they won’t receive the discount.
