Makers Market 2018 Marketing

We need all Makers on board to help ensure a successful event!

All makers are expected to help promote the Makers Market to their family, friends and community to help ensure a successful event for everyone!

It is assumed that makers will be making their own marketing materials that will highlight their own products. These materials might include:

your maker booth preview
postcards
posters
invitations
business cards
Facebook events
Facebook pages
Other social media (Twitter, Instagram, etc.)

Maker Booth Previews

Please create your maker booth preview entry for our online booth preview.

Use images to show and sell.
For an image to show up when shared to Facebook, the image must be at least 200 x 200 pixels.
For the best look when shared to social media, upload an image that is 1200 x 630 pixels.

Maker booth previews are a big part of how we market the Market — so be sure to do your part to bring in shoppers and create your maker booth preview

You will need to be registered and logged in to access the booth creation form. If you can't access the form, then you need to let the organizers know.

Makers Market logo

Makers may use the Makers Market logo in their booth marketing materials.

Use social media

Invite your friends, family and neighbors to the Makers Market Facebook Event. — Invited friends will be notified about Maker Booth Previews and receive an automated reminder to attend!

Invite your friends, family and neighbors to like the Makers Market Facebook Page.

You are encouraged to create your own Facebook Event and/or Facebook page specific to your booth and your creations as your friends and family will respond more positively to a Facebook Event that is specifically about YOU.

If you create your own public Facebook Event specific to your Maker Booth:
- Invite Makers Market to co-host your public event.
- Ask the Makers Market page admins to post about your public event on the Makers Market page.

Whether your own Facebook Event or the general Makers Market Facebook Event, share the event to your Facebook Groups (if allowed by their posting policies).

Tweet about the Makers Market, @MakersMarketTC.
Retweet the Makers Market, @MakersMarketTC.

Please post about the Makers Market in the online homeschool groups to which you belong (if permitted by the group's posting policies).

Please post about the Makers Market in the any other groups to which you belong (if permitted by the group's posting policies).

If you have a location where you can post a flyer, please print one out and hang it up!

How do I invite friends to the Facebook event?

Look in the right hand side of the menu bar below the event header image for a button labeled “Invite” (with the envelope icon). Click that and choose between “Choose Friends” to invite individuals or “Share Event” to post the event to your own Timeline.

You may see a "Share" icon instead of an "Invite" icon — it works the same way.

You may also need to first say that you yourself are attending the event.

Please share your ideas on how to spread the word with the other makers.
