Our second planning meeting for the December holiday market is tomorrow, Thursday September 10 at 7PM EST.
Here’s what I mean when I say nothing is too small… We have seven teams: location and foot traffic, partnerships and sponsorships, nonprofit selection, vendor relations, media and promotion, event-day operations, community experience — and most of what they need comes down to a few emails, one phone call to a space you already have a connection to, or a couple of hours on the day itself. Some of the most useful help I’ve gotten for past markets took less than an hour of someone’s time!
We’re raising money for Community Lodgings again this year, the same nonprofit we supported at our December market last year. Vendor fees and ticket sales for experiences go straight to them, and vendors keep every dollar of what they sell (unless they also want to donate a small percentage to Community Lodgings). It works when there are enough of us that no one person is planning the whole thing.
Come tomorrow even if you’re just curious and want to see what it looks like from the inside. ☺️ Register at the link below, and if a specific person came to mind while you were reading this, send it to them.
