We launched our markets to provide sales and marketing opportunities to small and medium-sized businesses. We chose malls as our choice venue as thousands of brands trust malls to promote and sell their products. Malls 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 and Instagram gives our vendors the same opportunity to sell to the same shoppers as large retail brands.

• 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.
• 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.
• Price your products accordingly. Make sure your prices are visible and marked accordingly. Do your homework on the latest trends and what shoppers are looking for.
• Offer sales or buy one get one specials. Shoppers love deals, especially mall shoppers. Offering sale specials or special offers on the day of the market is a great way to get traffic to your booth and increase revenue.
• Have business cards or other marketing materials to give away 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.

• Please double-check your email address, full name, and business name when you are registering so that we can successfully contact you, as well as correctly promote your business. 
• Be sure to check your spam folder if you believe you aren’t receiving our email communications.

• Services are welcome to register.
• Setup will begin 1.5 hours before the start of the event each day.
• We do not guarantee or make any promises regarding vendor sales or mall traffic. Sales vary by vendor product and shopper demand. The more a vendor engages with shoppers, the better a vendor tends to do results-wise.

All registration fees are non-refundable unless the event promoter cancels the event without a rescheduled date.

How much in sales can I expect?
