THE introduction of a loyalty card to reward shoppers using Halesowen stores is being considered in a bid to boost flagging trade.

The town’s recently-appointed chamber of trade chairman, Wayne Edwards, is hoping for support to pursue the plan.

He said: “I am investigating the feasibility of launching a loyalty card to encourage shoppers and businesses to spend more amongst ourselves – if the major supermarkets can do it, why can’t we?”

He has arranged a meeting with a company called Beep on Thursday July 24 at Thursfields Solicitors, Hagley Road, at 10am and is urging other traders to go along.
