Welcome to the SEEK Bespoke Winter Online Market

About the Online Market
-
The SEEK Bespoke Winter Online Market is a curated online holiday shopping experience featuring thoughtfully selected British Columbia small businesses, exclusive holiday offers and intentional gift ideas.
The market runs from November 10 to December 10, 2026, allowing shoppers to discover and purchase directly from participating brands throughout the holiday season.
-
We created the SEEK Bespoke Winter Online Market to extend the SEEK Bespoke experience beyond our in-person markets. It gives shoppers another way to discover and support the thoughtfully curated small businesses they know and love while introducing them to new favourites throughout the holiday season.
For participating vendors, it's an opportunity to gain additional exposure through a collaborative marketing campaign that includes the SEEK Bespoke community, paid advertising, social media and email marketing. Rather than replacing your online store, the Online Market is designed to drive more shoppers directly to it.
-
Each participating business receives its own dedicated profile on the SEEK Bespoke website featuring:
Business name
Logo or brand photo
Business description
Website or online shop link
Exclusive holiday offer
Optional social media links
When shoppers click on your listing, they are taken directly to your online store to complete their purchase.

No. The Online Market is designed to complement our in-person events, not replace them. Think of it as an extension of the SEEK Bespoke experience, giving shoppers another opportunity to discover and support participating vendors throughout the holiday season.

Shoppers browse a beautifully curated collection of participating businesses, organized in an easy-to-navigate directory. Every vendor has been thoughtfully selected, just as they are for our in-person markets.
Throughout the month-long campaign, shoppers can discover new businesses, revisit brands they've met at previous markets and shop exclusive holiday offers, all while purchasing directly from each vendor's own website.
Is This the Right Fit for My Business?

Description textThe Online Market isn't designed to replace your website. It's designed to bring more shoppers to it.
Every participating vendor already has their own audience. By bringing those audiences together through one collaborative campaign, we create far greater reach than any of us could generate individually.
Your participation includes exposure through the SEEK Bespoke community, vendor newsletters, social media promotion and paid digital advertising, all working together to drive shoppers directly to your online store. goes here

Unlike large online marketplaces, the SEEK Bespoke Winter Online Market is intentionally curated. Every participating business has been selected to reflect the quality and shopping experience people have come to expect from SEEK Bespoke.
Shoppers know exactly who they're supporting. Every participating business is a thoughtfully curated British Columbia small business, making it easy to shop local and feel confident about where their dollars are going.
Instead of competing with thousands of unrelated sellers, you'll be featured alongside other curated BC brands in one collaborative holiday campaign.
