Bay Area residents can come to the Mission District, show their zip code and get a discount when they shop, wine, dine, get an acupuncture session and more. It’s a citywide promotion called Show Your Zip.
“It is a great idea to promote business locally,” said Julie Baumhofser, owner of Bu Tong Acupuncture. Bay Area residents get 50 percent off in their first visit to Bu Tong in 2390 Mission Street.
Show Your ZIP is a program part of the city’s Economic Stimulus Plan. The goal is to encourage sales in San Francisco. It’s pretty simple. The businesses that signed up to participate will give discounts of 15 percent or more and offer promotions when Bay Area residents show them ZIP codes from 94000 to 95100.
“It’s a nice idea that would help me increase my sales,” said Patty Nason, the owner of Gavaphoto at 3150 18th Street. Her studio is giving $50 off per portrait session.
Businesses are encouraged to accept any document that shows one of the zip codes. The documents include a driver’s license, business card or even bills.
The discounts are valid from Nov. 15, 2009, through Jan. 31, 2010. Residents in the nine-county Bay Area qualify, including San Francisco, San Mateo, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Contra Costa, Alameda, Solano and Santa Clara.
Last year more than 200 businesses provided Show Your ZIP offers.
