Please read through the below carefully so you know what our team is looking for in vendors.

We’re a market specializing in a unique collective of local brands, emerging shops and handmade artisans.

Marketing is one of our core strengths. We operate with a comprehensive, multi channel strategy that is developed specifically for each market and region.

Our approach blends digital advertising, curated social content, email marketing, community partnerships, local media outreach, and strategic brand positioning. We focus heavily on building anticipation before each event and maintaining visibility throughout the season.

Rather than relying on one promotional tool, we use layered marketing designed to:

• Reach both loyal returning attendees and new audiences
• Highlight individual vendors in a thoughtful way
• Position each market as a trusted, must attend community event
• Create long term brand recognition across all of our regions

Many of our markets have established audiences because we consistently invest in professional marketing and brand development year round, not just in the weeks leading up to an event.

Vendor success is always a shared effort, and we encourage participating businesses to promote their involvement as well. When both organizers and vendors are actively sharing, the overall impact is significantly stronger.

• The instantaneous feedback that vendors receive when selling in person is unbeatable.
• New companies take advantage of the in person connection and are able to receive great comments on their new product lines.
• We have a very selective jury process and limit the amount of vendors in each category.
• Local shops attend our markets and it is great exposure for our vendors.

We look for a variety of high quality vendors who are active in the handmade community, and on social media. This means vendors who have interesting, eye catching images and professional looking products.

• Product quality
