Spring 2023 - 12
FROM THE EDITOR
MAIN STREET INSPIRATION
I
nspiration can come from many places and in
many forms. Lately I've been inspired by the
entrepreneurs I meet who have a passion for
main street retail. These business owners are listening
to what their communities want and providing places
where people can come together and discover new
things. They are filling their shops with local goods
and unique merchandise that speaks to their clientele.
For some, it's a new career after retirement. For others,
it's a way to raise awareness for a cause. Whatever the
reason, these determined merchants are making their
marks on main street.
Small businesses on main streets are the backbones
of their communities. A new nonprofit formed by
OneCoast sales and marketing agency is launching this
year to support independent retailers. Heart on Main
Street is dedicated to providing tools and resources to
independent retailers to help them thrive and evolve.
" We want to help retailers accomplish their goals, "
said Patrick Keiser, executive director of Heart on
Main Street. Retailers who have been in business less
than three years will be able to apply for the Heart
on Main Street mentorship and grant programs later
this summer. Learn more about this new nonprofit at
heartonmainstreet.org.
In this issue, we'd like to introduce you to Lovely
Paperie & Gifts in Ohio. The shop's owner spotted a high
demand in her town for a gift shop and subsequently,
additional demand for baby and plush items. She
expanded her gift shop and opened a children's
boutique a few doors down. Her shop is featured on the
cover and on page 56.
The Trend Report beginning on page 27 takes a
look at Pantone Color of the Year Viva Magenta and a
supporting cast of shades that color everything from
décor to stationery. The colors of the coast are inspiring
more than one jewelry maker's designs, and we've got
several to introduce to you on page 58.
I hope the stories and photos in this issue provide
you with inspiration and encourage your passion for
retail. Tell us how your main street is looking at
Share Your Story on our website, giftshopmag.com/
share-your-story.
We always look
forward to hearing
from you!
