Description
Join us for a one-of-a-kind virtual event designed to bring the best of a in-person Christmas Market to the the comfort of home. This listing is specifically for VENDORS for our Merry Maker Market Vendors.
WHAT TO KNOW
The Merry Maker Market will be held December 4th – 16th, 2025. Like an in person event, guests will need to purchase tickets to attend the online event. This event is more than just a vendor market – it’s a holiday experience. Not only will guests be able to shop with a variety of original makers, but they will also be entered to win gift baskets, partake in our Give Back Bingo and win prizes, and access various live demonstrations (complete with access to replays) including cookie decorating, charcuterie planning, DIY crafts and more.
Event Vendor Registration:
- The vendor fee for this event is $35. This covers both the 2025 and 2026 holiday events plus access to the Merry Maker Market activities.
- To event is designed to be curated for the customer experience with original handmade and homemade items from all types of makers.
- There are no other fees on our end associated with this event, for vendors.
The Vendor Experience
We have a few different goals with our Merry Maker Market. The first is to drive sales and exposure to handmade sellers. The second is to curate a unique shopping and connection experience for everyone involved. Similar to an in-person vendor event, shoppers will be able to shop each vendor storefront exclusively. There is no cross-advertising of other vendors on any vendor’s page.
Because this event is virtual, you do not need a ton of pre-made stock. You can make orders on demand just as you normally would when selling via your own website.
- Vendors may not use digital mockups for their products without approval. All product photos must be actual product photos otherwise. AI edited/staged photos WILL be accepted.
- Vendors must be comfortable with shipping their products to the customer after purchase.
- All vendors will receive access to the Merry Maker Market activities and event spaces.
- All vendors will receive plug and play creatives (social media posts, reels, email templates, scripts) which they can use to promote their virtual booth at the event.
- All vendors will be granted an affiliate tracking code and earn $2 for every ticket sold to the event, through their code.
- All vendors will have a chance to be spotlighted in our marketing campaigns leading up to the event.
- All vendors may choose to record and submit a demonstration that will be aired “live” if they wish to garner additional attention to their business.
