Dear Utica Business Owner,
Utica Mayor Robert M. Palmieri invites you to become a local business on the "Utica Proud" app, Utica's newest initiative to boost sales at local businesses.
Powered by the creative experts at Colu, this initiative is brought to you and sponsored by the City of Utica. This is at NO COST to you and you need NOT be a chamber member to participate.
The "Utica Proud" app rewards residents and visitors for shopping at Utica's local businesses. The City’s rewards come in the form of "Halfmoons". Each "Halfmoon" is equivalent to $1, and can be easily redeemed at participating local businesses.
Please submit this form and your application will be reviewed. Note the following program criteria:
1. Business must have a storefront located within the city limits of Utica, NY.
2. Business must be small (locally owned franchises please contact Derek Crossman at: dcrossman@cityofutica.com).
3. Business must accept credit and/or debit cards.
4. Business should contribute to the overall quality of the community.
After this form is submitted and if you qualify, you will receive an email with next steps.
By applying, you will be opting in to be listed on the Utica Proud platform as a participating business. A "Participating Business" is a business located in the City of Utica that has agreed to participate in the Utica Proud Program and thereby enables customers to earn "Halfmoons" funded by the city, when they shop at your business.
