We create flyers, and secure partnerships with publications, other businesses, local news media etc. We also rely on the vendors and brands we partner with to promote to their fans as well- it takes a village. Vendors are asked to help with marketing efforts by sharing info about the event on social media and with their friends and family.

Selling success:

  • Engage with your customers, even when it’s slow! Each person that passes through is a potential customer. Say Hello, start a conversation and share the story behind your collection.
