The Eastern Shore Chamber’s "Eastern Shore Elf” is Encouraging Residents to Shop Local this Holiday Season with Daily Prizes

FAIRHOPE, Ala. – The Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce is taking a fun approach to supporting the shop local movement with a little bit of Christmas magic. This holiday shopping season, the "Eastern Shore Elf” is on special assignment to visit a different Eastern Shore retailer each day, offering customers holiday cheer, some great deals and chances to win awesome prizes.

The Chamber will use the Eastern Shore Elf’s antics to feature a different local retailer each day on the Eastern Shore Chamber Facebook Page. Stores are offering great discounts and promotions while he’s there. 

"The Eastern Shore Elf will be spending most of his time showcasing great gift ideas, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets into a little mischief along the way,” said Eastern Shore Chamber Communications Director Denise Curtis.

Each day, starting on Black Friday, the Eastern Shore Elf will be giving away gift cards on the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce Facebook page as he announces where he’s going the next morning. You can enter by sharing his daily post. Shoppers who post a picture of the elf in the comment section of that day’s post will receive additional chances to win. 

"Following a year like 2020, it’s more important than ever to support our small businesses so we can ensure they’ll be able to keep their doors open next year,” said Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce President Casey Williams.

The Eastern Shore Elf’s visit runs from Black Friday. To keep track of him, follow the "Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce” on Facebook. Also, look for the hashtag #EasternShoreElf.
