Why choose our market?
We launched our markets to provide sales & marketing opportunities to small & medium sized businesses. We chose mall’s as our choice of venue as thousands of brands trust in mall’s to promote & sell their products. Mall’s already have effective marketing in place to promote their centers on behalf of their tenants. Built in traffic already in place along with our marketing efforts to reach shoppers within a 15 mile radius of the mall via Facebook & Instagram gives our vendors the same opportunity to sell to these same shoppers as large retail brands.

Tips To Be A Successful Vendor
1. Be approachable and engage with shoppers as they walk by or approach your booth. Vendors who greet shoppers as they walk by tend to be more successful.

2. Offer a giveaway item or have an enter-to-win prize giveaway. This is a great way to increase traffic to your booth and get leads at the same time.

3. Price your products accordingly. Make sure your prices are visible and marked accordingly. Do your homework on latest trends and what shoppers are looking for.

4. Offer sales or buy one get one specials. Shoppers love deals especially mall shoppers. Offers sale specials or special offers on the day of the market is a great way to get traffic to your booth and increase revenue.

5. Have business cards or other marketing materials to giveaway to shoppers who approach your booth. While a shopper may not make an immediate purchase at your booth, they may be interested in placing an order at a later date or know someone who could benefit from your products or services. Make it easy for them to be able to reach you via phone, website, or email.

You are not allowed to bring additional tables. However, you can bring display racks, display shelves, and display bins if you need extra display space.
