On the occasion of Mother’s Day, the Bastide de Carcassonne merchants’ association is launching a competition. To try to win 53 prizes, city center customers will have to find the fair value of an entire window.
A few weeks ago, several merchants in Carcassonne put a new structure in place to revitalize the city center. Thus, at the beginning of April, the Bastide Merchants Association (ACBC) was born. An association of traders created by traders “teeming with ideas”. The organization today has no less than 65 members. If during the creation of the association, the founding members did not wish to dwell too much on future actions, the time has come for them to shed light on their first major project on the occasion of the festival of mothers (Sunday May 26, editor’s note). This is a competition in the style of the game show “The Right Price” for customers in the city center. We explain the concept to you.

53 prizes to be won
“A large number of merchants who are members of the association have made a donation. All of these lots, 53 in total, are displayed in one and the same window. The whole lot will be won by a customer from the city center at the end of the May”explain Céline Sanchez of the Secret d’Or jewelry store and Sylvie Ferrisi, of the Muy Mucho furniture and decoration store.
It’s also a way to attract them to our stores
Dresses, swimsuits, t-shirts, watches, jewelry, vouchers from a butcher, a pastry chef, books… Since this Friday the window – couldn’t be more tempting – of the Etam boutique (18 rue Georges-Clemenceau ) took on colors. This is where all the prizes to be won have been stored. To do this, the rule is simple: you just need to find the price of the whole thing. The right price or get as close as possible but above all not exceed it. “To be on the right track, participants can go to participating stores to find out the price of each item. This is also a way to attract them to our stores”argue the traders.

To participate, it’s simple, just send your estimate by email to the email address [email protected] or by private message on the Instagram page “@Carcassonneboutiques”. Those who don’t have the internet or simply don’t know how to use it can go to participating stores. A merchant will forward the person’s assessment to the address provided.
“The winner is the first to find the exact value or the one below that is closest to it”, can we read on the window. The winner will be announced the days following Mother’s Day. Moving forward, traders assure that several ideas are in gestation and/or being finalized. Particularly during the summer period. Patience and your brain.
