• Seek Holiday - Vancouver is a collaboration between Shannon Lorenz of SEEK Bespoke Market and Natasha Neale from Little Mountain Shop.

    The two of us met over ten years ago connecting via the market/pop-up scene and recently reconnected this Spring. With a similar look and feel to the work we both do we decided to come together to draw on our collective experiences and co-curate a special holiday market for shoppers this season.

    The market will highlight on all female founders who own purpose driven brands - making it easy for you to feel good about your market purchases.

  • The lineup will be carefully curated to include vendors who sell socially conscious products, sustainable home goods, apparel, artisanal foods and beverages, wellness essentials, art, jewlery and high-quality unique goods.

  • WHEN:

    *Load in will take place between 12pm-3pm on Friday November 24

    Saturday, November 25: 10am-5pm

    Sunday, November 26: 10am-5pm

  • We are looking to see if we can get extra space for this.

  • 1. Plan out your booth space in advance including how you’re going to merchandise your products. By pre-planning you’re giving yourself more ease for event load-in all the way to booth completion. Pro tip! Take pictures from home of what your space looks like so if you have helpers with you - you can give them a visual of what needs to be done.⁠

    2. Have a market toolbox. Need some ideas? Scissors, zap straps, electrical cords, trolley, phone chargers, business cards, postcards, samples, bags for your packaging and newsletter sign ups are just a few ideas to get you started!⁠

    3. Branded signage. Signage ideas include price point, ingredients of your product, how your product works… anything that helps potential shoppers make a quick decision.

    4. Data and payment systems organized - have your phone charged and ready to go. Many vendors use Square and it's also recommended to have a way to purchase from your website as a backup.⁠

    5. Make sure to plan out your meals (markets can go by quickly!) and you want your energy to stay high. Good food and hydration are key!⁠
