It's time again for the Eastern Shore Elf! We're excited to bring him back again this year in a more simplified way for one of our favorite local holiday traditions.

How it works?

Each day between Black Friday and December 23, we’ll use our Eastern Shore Elf to feature a different shop on our Eastern Shore Chamber social media pages. Posts will go up on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

We've decided to switch it up a bit! For the 2021 Holiday Season, there will not be a giveaway component so we can put advertising dollars toward each post, increasing your reach.

We are still asking participants to contribute a $25 gift card that we'll use for giveaways throughout the year. You'll get additional promotion through those giveaways.

How do I sign up?

1. Sign up by clicking here.

2. Our photographer will be in touch to come by to get a photo of the Eastern Shore Elf in your shop.

3. We'll also collect the $25 Gift Card during the Elf's photoshoot.

4. We will post the picture and tag your business sometime between Nov. 26 and Dec. 23.

Who can participate?

You must be a retail member of the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce to participate. We are limited to the first 28 stores to sign up, so don’t wait to register. Dates will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Get Creative:

This is an opportunity to be creative with your marketing efforts this holiday shopping season. Let's come up with a fun or mischievous way to pose the elf that truly highlights your shop.
