LAST MINUTE MARKETS

Plate & Parcel Holiday Market is offering up Last Minute Markets! This is a pre-holiday market opportunity hosted indoors the day before Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. These bustling, festive quick shop pop-ups cater to customers buying ingredients and pre-made foods; along with those seeking last minute local gifts or stocking stuffers. This is also ideal for vendors that have conducted pre-sales, taken online orders or are seeking a customer pick up opportunity.

OTHER CORRESPONDING MARKET DATES: 

• Plate & Parcel's weekend market will host "Pre-Order Promotions" for Saturday, Nov. 16, Sunday, Nov. 17 and Saturday, Dec. 7 and Sunday, Dec. 8. These are ideal for vendors to sample and take pre-orders. The Last Minute Markets are a follow up to these days, and a terrific opportunity for customers pick up and up sales.

• There is no requirement to participate in the weekend Pre-Order days, but should you want to - register here. 

• These markets are not exclusive to each other, and there is no need to sell at both. Pick one or more dates. You select the dates right for your business.

• For pre-sale order form templates, go to our Pinterest Board. 

BENEFITS: 

• An already known audience, as promotion is via the ongoing Plate & Parcel Holiday Markets.
