I would love some feedback and comments today.......either via Facebook or reply on the blog or email. Several ladies I know who have handmade businesses, ask me about starting a new "Makers" market here on the Peninsula.
What I would love to know from you all is, do we need another market down here?? We have quite a few...yes.....but do we have a 100% locally made market? I think not. Most of the local markets attract makers from far and wide......plus many from the Peninsula too. I keep thinking how wonderful it would be to have purely Peninsula products, all in one place, showcased to the public. I mean really, I know when I go on holiday, I am lured like a magnet to any local markets......women love to shop!! Even when I am home, I still love markets!
So my question is.......How viable is setting up a "only locally handmade/homegrown market?? And where would we hold it? And how often? Once a month is probably overkill, but what about a quarterly market, or biannual market? This would make it a bit more select, something more of an event!
And how do we go about setting up this market? I don't know anything about this type of thing.......it could be really complicated....... So, if it were to go ahead, I think a team of people could be the answer. How do we fund the setting up costs?
So many questions!! I know I am thinking out loud here and would really love your ideas......and quite possibly your help if it looks like a go!
Get your thinking caps on......
Cheers,
Jodie
