Fortuna Gift Certificates Heading to Your Business.  Will you, employees be ready?

A reminder never hurts, especially when it will effect your businesses' bottom line.  For that reason we've enclosed a small reminder card for you and your employees about the Fortuna Citywide Gift Certificates.  Place the card next to your cash register, replace the old "No Fooling" flyer or just find a place that will be seen by employees at the counter.
On the card we've put the four simple steps to accepting the Fortuna Gift Certificate, plus, how cus

tomers can purchase certificates.
Remember most importantly, the certificates can be accepted and processed just like you'd process a travelers or cashiers check.  Just accept the certificate, stamp the back and include with your regular deposit, no matter where your business banks.  You get full face value on the ten or twenty dollar certificates.
Business interested in purchasing Fortuna Gift Certificates for employees

as Christmas or year- en bonuses can either contact the FBID office or go to Humboldt Bank Fortuna to make a purchase.  Giving the certificates let your employees know that you are committed to spending your money locally.
Thank you for working with your employees and customers to keep the Fortuna Gift Certificate program successful and keep money circulating in our economy.
