Retailers choose upgrades that will make their business more energy efficient, we advertise them and consumers support them. Each business commits 10% of the extra revenue they make from the extra 9carrots customers towards their target upgrade."

Understanding "receipt books"
- oct, 2010by anewholm9carrots receipt books allow you to track how much extra 9carrots custom each participating local
business gets.
When you sign up a local business, give them a 9carrots receipt book (you can request these from us). The receipt books have receipts in them of different denominations, £1, £2, £5, etc. Instruct the local business to hand out these receipts to the value of the transaction every time a 9carrots customer makes a purchase. All 9carrots customers MUST ask for them.
By periodically looking at how many receipts the local business has given out, you can calculate how much extra money they have made from 9carrots sales.The receipt book usage should be registered on the website so that everyone, especially the shoppers, can see how the local businesses are progressing.

Carrots appear frequently in this model. This is because 9carrots offers an incentive to businesses and people to work against Climate Change. There is an old English proverb which explains that there are 2 ways to move a donkey: with a carrot or a stick. We like to think that the carrot is the best way.
