The I Heart Handmade market (http://indiehandmade.com) is an online marketplace featuring some of the coolest handmade stuff around! We’ve been around since 2008 and continue to grow with each hosted market. If you’d like to be a part of the market, submit your shop today! It’s easy! (Please note that the market and blog are two different sites. When you submit your shop, you are submitting to participate in the I Heart Handmade market site.)
Review Process
Each shop is reviewed by a panel to determine if your shop is a good fit for the upcoming market. Some of the markets are themed (e.g., eco-friendly) so please take this into consideration when applying. If you’re not a good fit for one market, you may be a better fit for another.
Since each shop goes through a review process, please allow 1-8 business days for a response.
What are we looking for?
We look for several things when reviewing your shop. First and foremost, we look at what you’re selling. (See above.) We also look to see that you have a well-stocked shop. This doesn’t mean you have to have 100 things but we do look for a minimum based on what you sell. We look for good photography. We cannot emphasize this enough. It’s important to your customers — and it should be equally important to you!
We do also look at other factors when considering each shop, for example we look to see how many others shops are already in one category. (Jewelry does tend to load up quickly!) This list is not meant to be a complete one.
What is the cost?
Each market is priced according to amount of time the market is live. Some markets are short — others are longer. You can view the schedule page to get up-to-date information on dates and costs.
What do I get?
Think of I Heart Handmade as marketing and advertising for your business. We work hard to bring potential new customers to the site and put your brand in front of buyers. We get you those extra eyes.
