With just a few days to go, Newcrest and Orange360 are gearing up to launch their huge $220,000 giveaway on 27 September. Over 1,500 prizes are available to be won from around 130 local businesses who are set to benefit directly from a cash injection, and a further 100 businesses benefitting through Think Orange Gift cards, included as part of the giveaway.
“The visitor economy across the Orange360 network is worth close to $500m per annum and equates to 41% of the dollars spent in our region. Our local tourism, hospitality and retail sectors were hit hard by the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns and regional travel restrictions. We see this as our way of supporting our local industries reopen and regain confidence in their recovery” explains Orange360 General Manager Caddie Marshall.
“The feedback to the promotion has been overwhelmingly positive. Our members are excited to be involved and grateful to Newcrest for the opportunity in preparation of re-starting their businesses. Orange360 have also benefited from an influx of new members. Our role is to drive visitation to the region and in lieu of this we want to make sure our local community know where to take friends and family when they next visit, and discover new businesses for themselves,” said Ms Marshall.
Businesses registered as part of the giveaway include an even distribution of retail stores, restaurants, cafes, pubs, and producers from across the Blayney, Cabonne and Orange region – providing the opportunity to share the love far and wide.
Cadia General Manager, Aaron Brannigan, said “Through Newcrest’s $20M Community Support Fund, we are proud to support the spin and win giveaway to provide an injection of funds into the local tourism, hospitality and retail industries who have been impacted by COVID-19.
“We see this is as a valuable launchpad for local businesses to restart, giving locals and visitors an opportunity to experience the region’s offerings and provide a platform for the region to prosper once more as restrictions are eased.”
The Newcrest and Orange360 Spin and Win Giveaway is unique in that every person that spins the wheel will win a prize ranging in value from $10 up to $800. With the giveaway open nationwide, entries are restricted to one per household to ensure the joy can be shared with as many people as possible.
Prizes range from coffee and brekky from a selection of our favourite regional roasters, retail vouchers, dinner vouchers, cases and cases of Orange’s best cool-climate wines, beauty and pamper treatments from salons and barber shops, all-inclusive tours, bounties of hampers and last but not least, personally handpicked local pieces from our regional artists.
In addition to supporting our local businesses, the Newcrest team were also very much aware that for many of our residents including their own staff, had simply not had the opportunity to see loved ones. The ability to nominate someone to receive your prize as a “pay-it-forward” option was also a conscious choice to participate in the growing #lockdownlove movement born from the impact of the pandemic. Winners can choose to spread the love and send their prize to a friend or loved one. This also provides an avenue to ensure that all prizes go to good use. Additionally, any unclaimed prizes will be donated to The Salvation Army.
The Newcrest and Orange360 Spin and Win Giveaway goes live on 27 September 2021 at 10am AEST, on Orange360.com.au/win.
