HOW CAN I BECOME A VENDOR AT PLB?
WE ARE LOOKING FOR MAKERS, BAKERS, CREATORS ARTISTS AND SMALL SHOPS WHO MAKE AND SELL UNIQUE, QUALITY AND CREATIVE GOODS.
BEING BASIC REALLY ISN'T OUR STYLE SO AESTHETICS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AT OUR MARKETS. WE LOVE MAKERS THAT CREATE FUN, UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL BOOTH SPACES THAT WILL HAVE US AND OUR SHOPPERS SWOONING. PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING!
NO DIRECT SALES OR MULTI LEVEL MARKETING PLEASE.
WHAT IS YOUR ATTENDANCE/TURNOUT AT EACH MARKET?
LIKE LIFE, MARKET ATTENDANCE IS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE. TURNOUTS DEPEND ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT VARIABLES AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS JUST NO WAY TO GIVE A DEFINATE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION. WHAT WE CAN TELL YOU IS THAT WE ARE BIG ON PROMOTING OUR MARKETS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, POSTCARDS, FLYERS, POSTERS, COLLABS AND GOOD OL' WORD OF MOUTH TO ENCOURAGE SHOPPERS TO ATTEND. WE ALSO ENCOURAGE OUR PARTICIPATING VENDORS TO PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE! IT ALWAYS HELPS TO HAVE YOUR FANS AND FOLLOWERS COME OUT AND SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR FELLOW MAKERS!
DO I NEED TO HAVE AN INSTAGRAM OR FACEBOOK PAGE TO PARTICPATE?
YES. YOU MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE GOODS AND ITEMS THAT YOU PLAN ON SELLING AND IT'S ALSO VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE A WAY TO PROMOTE THE MARKET. WHAT MAKES OUR MARKET A SUCCESS IS THAT WE AND OUR PARTICPATING SHOPS WORK HARD TO PROMOTE THE EVENT AND GET THE WORD OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
