@WOWMarketPDX -Wood & Other Wonders Market FAQ:

EVENT INFORMATION

This is a new kind of event-We will be having lots of live maker demonstrations and learning moments at this market, maker meets and class opportunities, very hands on.

With all the move towards online shopping we want to help our community understand the real inherent work & value in handmade by seeing, meeting & making.

We hope to reignite the deep commitment we can all cultivate to keep our dollars local and working for us, in our own city, instead of draining into the ether online

And it’ll be fun!

Great vendors, djs, live music & sips n snax!

When are WOW MARKETS?

Our market is here @Urbanitepdx the Second Sunday of the month (10am-4pm) in the beautiful open air event lot - RAIN or SHINE!

VENDOR INFORMATION

If I apply for a market, does it guarantee I will be accepted?

No but please still reach out — We receive many more applications than we have room for but we review accounts with balanced variety & well-rounded offerings in mind. If you don’t hear from us, this means you were not selected for that market and we welcome you to connect for another event

If I’ve been a vendor in the past, do I automatically get into the next market?

No Though our vetted vendors are our tried & true, fresh offerings make the market a fun event for all.

Registrations are accepted as they arrive in our insta DM so we encourage you to conect as soon as you hear about us.

This market we are doing registration differently. Every vendor (past or prospective) should connect via instagram DM so we can talk about what you want to share as a maker & how we can support you best. After you have the green light the simple registration form will help us connect to you, promote you, and use the best photo for posts of what you do. Every market is a new opportunity to let our diverse vending community shine.

This registration form is your opportunity to let us know what’s new with you!

We appreciate sharp product images, your social media links and a business website link, for reference.

If I don’t hear back after applying, may I connect the next market?

Yes, of course! — If you don’t hear back from us, please DM before our next market.

We recommend being speedy with your DM & watch for announcements - we fill up extremely fast!

Is there a vendor wait-list, if a market vendor cancels?

Yes! — Since we receive many more vendor applications than we have space for, we will contact you if we have room for you as a stand-by vendor.

If you don’t hear from us, this means both market & wait-list are completely full. Please feel free to apply for our next market season!

When does each market open for vendor CONTACT?

This year we will take DMs via Instagram one day after finishing a market. Reach out and let us know you want to be involved..

Once your business has been accepted and confirmed via Instagram DM, you are eligible to register for any market this whole market year.
