HANDMADE FUTURES MATCHMAKING

HOW WILL IT WORK?

  • We will share a list of Buyer Profiles with exhibitors. No contact information will be shared at this point, but rather details on location, type of business, price points and categories.

  • Exhibitors will attend a webinar to determine the best buyer fit and submit a list of 5 buyers they feel are the best match for them.

  • We will consolidate these lists and contact you with the names and profiles of all exhibitors that selected you as a fit.

  • You will then provide us with feedback on the exhibitors you are interested in being connected to and we will facilitate introductions via email.

WHAT IS THE COMMITMENT FROM YOU?

We understand that the timing may not be best for the 2021 buyer year, but we hope that you could make some time to do the following:

  • Review the exhibitors interested in matching with you

  • Make some time to have a quick virtual meeting with some of the interested exhibitors to provide feedback on their products and determine if there is possibility to work together in the future.
