Regional support initiative

To contribute to the economic recovery and support the buy local initiative across the Outaouais, Freebees and its collaborators have set up a support fund to help businesses from the region in their economic recovery and thus allow them to obtain the Freebees platform free of charge until December 31, 2020.
Freebees wants to allow a maximum of businesses in the Outaouais region to benefit from its expertise in rewards and gift card programs as well as the technologies that have been developed, free of charge, that allows businesses to increase their revenues through their own branded electronic money. This money is used to stimulate the economy by increasing consumers’ purchasing power and by contributing to a positive customer experience.
Provincial initiative

Funded by the Quebec government, Le Panier Bleu was launched to stimulate local purchasing and promote local products and businesses. Quebec merchants can use the platform as a showcase by registering their business. In addition to the visibility provided by the platform, business intelligence tools will be available to support them in their digital transformation. Consumers can use them to discover businesses by keyword, category or location.
