The citizen response and increased participation of establishments accompany a campaign that anticipates mobilizing over 1.4 million euros in ten days. Vouchers for the first digital download were sold out in just one hour from the platform's opening, reflecting the great interest sparked by this initiative from the Department of Commerce and Markets.
Added to this public response is the high participation of the commercial sector: more than 200 establishments in Elda have joined the campaign, a notable increase compared to previous calls. The breadth of commercial offerings multiplies the options for achieving a significant economic impact in the city.
“"The high participation of businesses and the speed with which citizens have exhausted the digital availability highlight the reach of an initiative that combines direct consumer incentives with the promotion of Elda's establishments."
“"The campaign seeks to turn available resources into effective purchases and encourage economic activity to reach establishments in numerous sectors, making local commerce the main beneficiary of this mobilization."
With a budget of 716,815 euros in vouchers, the campaign aims to mobilize 1,433,630 euros in local commerce purchases within just ten commercial days, during the redemption period from November 16 to 26. This economic injection is intended to boost establishments, attract consumers, and strengthen proximity businesses.
The number of participating businesses, over 200, far exceeds initial forecasts and highlights establishments' interest in leveraging the opportunities offered by the Consumption Voucher. The diversity of sectors includes food, fashion, footwear, home goods, technology, bookstores, gifts, toys, hairdressing, beauty, hospitality, optics, health, sports, and other services.
The 'Elda Bono Consumo 2026' allows citizens to benefit from up to 200 euros in free vouchers, available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 euros. For each voucher used, the citizen must make a purchase of at least double its value (e.g., a 50 euro voucher can be used for 100 euros worth of products).
The Elda City Council has arranged for in-person voucher collection on November 12 and 13, from 09:30 to 13:30, at the Central Market of Elda (access via Juan Carlos I street), to facilitate participation for those with digital difficulties. Service will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
Vouchers can be redeemed starting November 16. The first redemption phase runs from November 16 to 22, including both digital and in-person vouchers. Unused vouchers from this phase will become available again. The second phase, from November 23 to 26, will offer another opportunity to request them exclusively online, subject to availability.
