Greetings from the Harbor District | Eastern North Carolina Now

News Release:

    So much is going on downtown throughout the holidays - it is impossible to list everything here!

    There are retail specials and sales, cool demonstrations like; how to tie a bow, wreath making, and ornament decorating for the kids.

    There's pictures with Santa, face painting, & holiday refreshments being offered. Click here to be taken to a flyer with all the information.

    A few highlights are:

    SATURDAY, 11/29/14

    SHOP SMALL SATURDAY ON SATURDAY

    There is an explosion of special offers on that day. See link above.

    Many don't realize that when you shop or dine downtown your money has a multiplier effect.

    Two studies-one in Austin, Texas, the other in Maine-compared locally owned businesses with nationally owned book stores as far as their impact on their local economies. They reached very similar conclusions: $100.00 spent at a national retailer yielded a return of about $15.00 to the local economy. However when that same $100.00 is spent with a local retailer it returns about $45.00 or 3 times as much income to the local economy. When further defined, these returns from the national chain store were usually in the form of lower-level service job wages.

    That's a huge difference, and one YOU can make right here in your own backyard!
