large brands & vacant retail space,

not suitable for independent makers.

Craft fairs & flea markets:

inconsistent, small piece of the

consumer market, labor intensive.

“RoadShows gives me access to customers on a regular basis. I do more business when I can talk to people in person. People buy locally produced products because there are

people behind the products.”

“Hosting creators via RoadShows is something that our clientele loves. I’m anxious to do more shows, and I’ve had customers ask

when we’re doing it again.”
