Prep for the Holidays EP8: Applying to Holiday Markets

The And She Looked Up Podcast

For Task #8 in our Prep for the Holidays checklist I'm putting the focus on getting your holiday market applications in - for makers, artists and creative service providers (yes, there's room for you, too!).
While it may be too late to apply to some of the bigger craft and maker markets in major urban centres, there's no shortage of opportunities in smaller, local markets. I'm sharing tips for finding those smaller markets because there's a LOT of them and they're looking to fill their vendor rosters now! Plus, these smaller, community markets can be a great way for newer sellers to get some experience and gain some confidence
Oh... and those big markets that are already full? They often host spring markets and now is the time to research those market application deadlines!
