How does Find My Markets Work?
We search the internet, finding all of the upcoming craft shows and markets in a bunch of major cities. From there, we organize them by month, date, city, zip code, you name it. As for you, you can either pick one of the major cities that is closest to you, then sort by month and find events that way, or you can find events closest to your zipcode here!
Why Did We Make Find My Markets?
We are makers ourselves, and we found that so much of our time was spent looking for events to sell our goods at, and that was a problem. You know, as well as we do, that in a small business, every minute counts, so the last thing we wanted to do was spend those minutes seraching site, after site, after site for the best market to sell at. That time could instead be used to make our goods, design marketing items, ship out our new orders, brainstorm our new ideas, you name it!
