What are vendors saying ...

“

Thank you for putting together Craftadian’s Virtual Market! It is always fun to try new ways to reach new audience. The Virtual platform is unique and it was an interesting event. We will be learning more, and hoping for more sales, with time. Overall, if you have not participated in a Virtual Market, Jacqueline’s effort in organizing Craftadian Virtual Market, does warrant one to enroll!

The Craftadian virtual market has been one of THE BEST virtual markets that I’ve been a part of. The organizer, Jacqueline is very organized. She gave us numerous methods to promote my shop, which I greatly appreciated. I’m definitely coming back in August!

This was Pink Posh Fox’s first virtual market on the Hopin platform and it was incredible. The booths were set up in such a way that allowed customers to take their time and browse at whatever speed they liked. I think this allowed customers to get to know the brands a lot better! I loved that we could also include a video about our products. I felt that made it more personal for the shoppers. Booth chat was an excellent feature that I used all day! I loved being able to engage with shoppers and answer questions in real time. Our sales were excellent and we will be attending every online market Jacqueline puts on. She always does a great job organizing and innovating in this space and I trust that her next event will be even more amazing than this one! Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of it, see you again soon!

Thank you to Jacqueline and Craftadian for providing a great online market experience. It was a tremendous pivot to move the market online and I am very appreciative of the opportunity to still be able to showcase to customers when in person is not available. It was very well organized and a great virtual platform to showcase the makers. Thank you very much! I look forward to future virtual markets!
