We are so excited to have launched this platform during this strange and difficult time. We know that not
everyone has a store-front and not everyone has, or wants to build a whole website (its hard
work!). This website was born out of necessity during Christmas 2020, fairly quickly, and very last
minute. Thanks to the great success and high-demand, we are able to continue growing and
evolving this platform for the whole year. I am so grateful for our existing vendor’s support and
patience as we navigate this new idea together, and always excited to get all kinds of makers on
board to grow together even more!

​

This space is ideal for all kinds of makers. You can be as involved as you like. Whether you just have some

stock laying around at home which never makes it to market or shops, or if you want to jump in with both 

feet and get your name out there actively, I am here for it! I try to keep membership as affordable as possible

to make it accessible to everyone during these sometimes financially straining times. Therefore, its a win-win. 

"Set it and forget it" or go full 100%, for the cost of a couple cups of coffee, your work has a safe and

supportive home at the Salt Spring Online Maker's Market.

​

Here's how it works...

Signing Up
Sign up is easy! You will find a link to the sign-up form on this page. You will need the follwing:

• A photo of yourself

• A short bio

• Photos of your products

• A price list with any descriptions/information you would like included

​

Product photos and information can be sent back to chloe@cmsocialmediamgmt.com Please label your photos 

so I can accurately attach the corresponding information.

I create your very own collection and upload everything to the site immediately and you’re good
to go!

Sales
Upon sales, I will contact you directly and let you know the details of the order. I make weekly pick-ups and 

usually have a contactless drop-box as well. I will then assemble the rest of the order, package it with branded 

materials and include a thank you card for the buyer, communicate with the 

buyer, and arrange the pick-up/shipping.

Payment
All payment is made just like an online store through the website. I send a detailed sales report
to each vendor and transfer money out monthly, or bi-weekly, depending on your preference.

Fees
Introductory pricing:
Monthly hosting/maintenance fee: $10/month OR $96/annual ($8/month)
15% commission on sales

Under 18 require a parent or guardian's permission.

Student pricing available.

As we progress, rates may change to better accommodate the longevity of this platform. If you
have paid for the year in advance, your rates will not be adjusted. Any changes will be
communicated well in advance.
