6th Virtual Expo
September 7-13, 2022 Virtual Expo
Mark your calendars for our 6th Virtual Expo and fill your stores for the holiday season while saving money.
Why our expo?
The artists that participate in our expo are in complete control of their store and what special they pick to offer the buyers. They choose what works best for their product and business. Retailers have the awesome opportunity to receive great specials when they shop the week of our expo.
How does a Virtual Expo Differ from everyday IndieMe Shopping?
The Virtual Expo is a week-long "event" where all attending artists will be offering buyer incentives like show specials, free shipping, and debuting new products. During this week-long event, IndieMe will be hosting buyer giveaways where buyers who place orders during the Expo will be registered in daily drawings to win items like gift cards and beautiful items donated by participating artists. Throughout the event, IndieMe will release dynamic editorial content designed and focused on business development. Look for our Ask a Buyer Series, Maker Stories, our signature Be Inspired series, and more.
During the Virtual Expo, a buyer will log in to the IndieMe Marketplace as they currently do. They will have the choice to shop as they normally do on IndieMe or they can "walk the Virtual Expo" simply by clicking on the Virtual Expo link. Once at the Virtual Expo the buyer will only be able to shop from attending expo artists. Saving to wish lists, and adding to carts and orders will all proceed as they currently do on the IndieMe Marketplace platform. All on a robust, visually attractive, and intuitive platform.
Retailers, if you want 100% handcrafted items for your store the expo is the WEEK to shop! The specials, incentives, and lower minimums are too good to pass up. Register for the Virtual Expo here and start spreading the news!
NEW this Buyers Guide and Expo.
All IndieMe members will receive their fall buyers guide at the end of August. It is not only one of our biggest Buyer’s Guides ever, but it will also include a fun treasure hunt for our registered buyers.
In the Fall guide, we have planted some “easter eggs” for buyers to locate. As you read through the guide be sure to look for text or icons that look out of place. There are a total of 7 and five lucky buyers who find them all will win a $200 shopping credit to use with any artist during the September Virtual Expo! Once you find 7, email the list to service@indieme.com. Happy treasure hunt!
