If there's one thing our team knows how to do, it is marketing. Our founder's background is in online marketing, social media marketing and branding. With her years of expertise she has been able to successfully launch 6 cities in the past two years with over 70 successful markets under her belt.
Our team strategically utilizes our budget in the areas that have seen the most impact. These areas include:
• Facebook Ads targeted to women 20-45 based on location these are done to drive ticket sales and RSVPs to our event pages.
• When we drive RSVPs to our events, this reminds attendees the week of a market, day of market etc. as well as shows up in Waze and other supporting apps.
• Instagram Ads - both in news feeds and on "stories"
Focusing primarily on digital content is not only how the majority of our attendees digest information but is also the best way to track and manage which ads are performing the best, which is why our ads perform 9x better than our competition.
Our makers comment time and time again on how they see our ads everywhere the week of an event. This is due to the fact that we reserve at least 80% of our budget within 10-14 days of the market.
Another key component to our marketing is that we invest in the best types of content that have the highest chances of going viral. This includes professional photography and videography at every event, detail shots throughout the market and short promotional videos we utilize in all of our ads.
Makers are artists, writers, photographers, collectors and designers, they are the creators and dreamers that are driven to create the next great brands of the future.

No, we will have a variety of makers from various locations around the US and some from around the world. We prioritize emerging brands to create a diverse culture within our doors which creates a unique experience for all attendees and we welcome other locals from other areas.
Our market is for first time makers as well as emerging and established brands. We encourage first time Makers to apply to our markets. Booth displays will be required and we encourage first time Makers to create a test-run display inside or outside of their home to give our team an understanding of what your booth will look like as well as show us you are fully prepared for the market.
Makers have chosen our markets as their favorite markets to attend for many reasons.
• We have a selective jury process and limit the amount of Makers in certain categories. This is to create a diverse collection of Makers.
• Makers who primarily sell online enjoy our markets because they are able to get instantaneous feedback from customers as well as showcase their entire line of products.
• Store buyers are commonly seen attending our markets, thus attendance generates exposure for product lines.
• We give companies a venue where they can invite and connect with influencers in person and create lasting relationships.
• Our markets have been known to be the spark that gets Makers to the next level.
• New Makers enjoy launching their companies at our markets so they are able to get a taste test or test run of their product lines. Seeing what products create the most buzz. Many Makers attribute the development of their product lines from learning what their customers were most interest in at our markets.
