FAQ
-
How does this business work?We sell stickers, hats, and t-shirts, and a portion of our earnings goes back to local businesses. When you purchase a product, you earn entries to nominate your favourite business. The businesses with the most nominations at the end of the month win 30% of our net earnings, split equally.
-
Why do you donate 30% of your net earnings?We believe in supporting small and local businesses. This initiative allows our customers to have a direct impact on their favorite businesses by helping them gain financial support while also receiving our merchandise in return.
-
How do I nominate a business?After making a purchase, you’ll have the option to submit your nomination through our website. If you’re making a free nomination (without a purchase), you can submit it through our email: buycanadianforcanadians2025@gmail.com (limit is one entry per person per month).
-
What counts as a small/local business?1. Privately Owned & Operated – The business must be independently owned (not a franchise or corporate chain). 2. Local Presence – The business must primarily operate within a specific community, city, or region, rather than on a national or global scale. 3. Employee Size – Typically has fewer than 50 employees. 4. Physical or Online Local Business – Can be a brick-and-mortar shop, an online store, or a service-based business that primarily serves a local customer base. 5. Ethical & Legal Operations – The business must operate legally and ethically, with no history of fraudulent or harmful practices.
-
Can I nominate more than one business?Yes! However, each purchase or free nomination only counts toward one business. If you want to nominate multiple businesses, you’ll need to make multiple entries.
-
Are all of your products 100% Canadian made?Currently, our products are custom printed/designed in Canada. However, the original products are not manufactured in Canada. (They are not manufactured in the US either). We will be aiming to partner with 100% owned and operated Canadian clothing manufacturers in the future!
-
How many nominations do I get per product purchase?Every $5 dollars you spend earns you 1 nomination! For example: buying a $15 car decal earns you 3 nominations, and buying a $50 hat earns you 10 nominations. Free write-in nominations = 1 nomination. Write-ins must be emailed to buycanadianforcanadians2025@gmail.com.
-
Can I submit a nomination without purchasing a product?Yes! You can submit a free nomination, which will count as 1 entry. However, purchasing a product gives you more nomination entries.
-
How do I submit my nomination after purchasing?Once you complete your purchase, you can head to the Nomination Form on our website and fill out and submit the form.
-
Do nominations carry over if my business doesn’t win?No, nominations reset at the start of each month (or when we hit our target and announce winners). However, you can nominate the same business again for the next round with purchase of another product.
-
Can I change my nomination after submitting it?Unfortunately, once a nomination is submitted, it is final. This helps us keep the process fair and transparent.
-
How is the winning business chosen?The businesses with the most total nominations at the end of each month will be selected to receive and equal split of 30% of our net earnings.
-
How often is a business selected to receive a giveaway?The winning businesses are selected at the end of each month! However, the first giveaway will happen when we reach our specified net earnings target of $5000 and we will be giving away $500 each to 3 winning businesses.

How is the giveaway paid out?The winning business receives the giveaway via check or direct bank transfer. We request that they share a photo of the reward for transparency.
-
How often can a business win the giveaways?A business can receive an unlimited number of giveaways. HOWEVER, once a business receives a giveaway, there is a 2 month period where they cannot win again. This is to ensure other businesses get a fair shot at winning our giveaway.
