Shop Local Campaign

 

Gulfport Merchants Chamber Launches 2023 Shop Local Campaign: Building on Last Year's Success


GULFPORT,  FL – October 11, 2023– Following the resounding success of the Shop  Local Holiday Campaign in 2022, the Gulfport Merchants Chamber is excited to announce the launch of their 2023 Shop Local Campaign. With a commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering community  spirit, the Chamber invites residents and visitors alike to join in the  celebration of the holiday season through conscious and intentional  shopping.


Last year's Shop Local Holiday Campaign, which  culminated in the 3rd Saturday IndieFaire on December 17th, saw  enthusiastic participation from the Gulfport community. The Gulfport  Merchants Chamber encouraged everyone to embrace the spirit of the  season by patronizing local businesses. Each receipt from a Gulfport  Merchants Chamber Member served as an entry for exciting prizes, with  the drawing taking place at the Holiday Market-themed Indie Faire.


Building  on the success of the previous campaign, the 2023 Shop Local initiative  promises even more excitement and rewards. The Gulfport Merchants  Chamber aims to amplify the impact of supporting local businesses by  extending the campaign duration and introducing additional festive  elements.


Key Highlights of the 2023 Shop Local Campaign:
-  Extended Duration: The campaign kicks off on November 1st, and will run  until the 3rd Saturday IndieFaire on December 16th, 2023.
-Prizes  Galore: Every receipt from a Gulfport Merchants Chamber Member is a  chance to win fantastic prizes. The drawing will take place at the  Holiday Market-themed Indie Faire on December 16th, 2023, at 7 PM.  Participants need not be present to win.
- Expanded Indie Faire  Hours: Responding to popular demand, the market hours for the Indie  Faire have been extended from 2 PM to 9 PM.
- Fun and Festive  Additions: Expect more at the Indie Faire with additional fun and  festive elements to enhance the holiday shopping experience.


To stay updated on all the campaign developments, follow @visitgulfportfl on Facebook and Instagram.


Look  out for the distinctive "Shop Local" signs across Gulfport, guiding  shoppers to businesses participating in the campaign. For more  information, visit the official campaign website at www.visitgulfportflorida.com/shop-local.


The  Gulfport Merchants Chamber expresses its anticipation and commitment to  supporting local businesses this holiday season. By choosing to shop  local, you contribute not only to the vibrancy of our community but also  to the livelihoods of the dedicated entrepreneurs who make Gulfport  unique.
