Holiday Monday Marketplace

about the marketplace

We’re making it easy to conquer your shopping list and support local businesses!

You can find and purchase exclusive, handmade goods in the Holiday Maker Marketplace. Each Monday during November through December 18 2023, check out our Instagram and place a bid on your favorites from 8am – 8pm. Come early, come late, and bid them up! Makers keep 100% of the sale price. Each week we’ll feature items from local makers. It’s fast-paced, fun, and a great way to connect with local makers!

For the makers

The Holiday Monday Marketplace is designed to promote shopping locally and help drive awareness to your products and services. It’s free to apply and makers keep 100% of the sales, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain! The Marketplace will take place every Monday during November through December 18.

Here’s the deal: We post three items by local makers on The Maker City’s Instagram feed each Monday, where viewers can bid for the items. You set the starting bid and bidders can increase their offer throughout the day. The market opens at 8am and closes at 8pm. (You must take the highest bid at 8pm, NOT 8:01pm)

You will be responsible for communicating with the highest bidder to complete the sale. The Maker City cannot be responsible for correspondence after the bidding is completed.
