It's our day! Small Business Saturday was established in 2010, it's a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities. When your dollars stay in your community, you help small businesses thrive and your neighborhood prosper.
The EllieAnna Gift Shop has always supported other local small businesses by incorporating them into the store, but now with the addition of the Maine on Main Flea Market, we really are a LARGE {over 30+} collection of Small Businesses all under one roof! Come support local makers & vintage collectors, all in one spot!
“Small businesses keep our communities vibrant,” Jessica Ling, senior vice president of global brand advertising at American Express, shared in a statement. “They are the lifeblood of our communities that help create jobs, boost the economy and enrich our neighborhoods.”American Express provides support for that statement. Its 2022 Small Business Economic Impact Study finds that for every $1 spent with a local business, over two-thirds ($0.68) stays in the local community to support local families, local causes, and other local businesses. It’s called the multiplier effect. By contrast, for every $1 spent with a national retailer, only about 30% to 40% stays local, or $0.30 to $0.40.
