WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Constant
Contact, an Endurance International Group (NASDAQ: EIGI) company
and leader in small business marketing solutions, today announced
the Unique Markets Holiday Tour, sponsored by Constant Contact. The
Unique Markets Holiday Tour is changing the holiday shopping game
by bringing together a curated selection of local designers,
artists, and emerging brands for their one-day pop-up marketplaces
in seven top U.S. cities.
The tour will help small businesses earn their share of a
predicted $1.1 trillion in 2018
holiday retail sales* while simultaneously injecting the economy
with monies spent on locally-made goods. Each market will feature
high-quality, well-designed products in a range of categories
including jewelry, clothing, home goods, art, apothecary,
stationery, kids items, ceramics, and more. All brands and products
will be represented by the actual business owner/designer/maker, a
hallmark of all Unique Markets events.
"Our partnership with Unique Markets directly aligns with
Constant Contact's goal of supporting and celebrating the diverse
entrepreneurial spirit showcased in these pop-ups," said
Jonathan Kateman, general manager of
Constant Contact. "These markets strike a chord with consumers who
believe, as we do, that America's small businesses provide the
highest quality goods and services and are the lifeblood of our
economy and local communities."
Aside from the fresh, modern goods available for purchase,
attendees can also enjoy DIY projects, interactive photo
experiences, and free drinks & snacks.
Now in its tenth year, Unique Markets has helped more than
10,000 entrepreneurs across the country reach new audiences and
increase sales while supporting communities and putting more than
$25 million back into local
economies.
As presenting sponsor and committed supporter of small
businesses, Constant Contact is providing a 50 percent discount on
vendor fees, helping to limit costs for participating small
businesses. Constant Contact is also reducing the event ticket
price to $5 for attendees of the
Unique Markets Holiday Tour pop-up marketplaces, which will make
stops in the following cities this holiday season:
- Denver (Nov. 25)
- Seattle (Nov. 25)
- Phoenix (Dec. 2)
- Minneapolis (Dec. 2)
- Boston (Dec. 9)
- Washington, D.C. (Dec. 9)
- Austin (Dec. 16)
"Unique Markets helps me and other small business owners to get
out of the workshop, and out from behind the computer screen, to
connect with our community," said Laura
Cornman, owner of Settlewell. "It helps me reach customers
outside my own circle of influence in an artfully-curated,
face-to-face shopping experience. It's been hugely beneficial to
growing my business!"
Each city on the national tour will feature more than 40 vendors
that represent a mix of brick and mortar and online businesses.
"As a loyal Constant Contact customer, email marketing has been
pivotal in helping me grow my business and this partnership is
really a match made in marketing heaven," said Sonja Rasula, founder of Unique Markets. "Not
only is Constant Contact in alignment with our mission, the team is
also providing education and tips for effective marketing to
participants in each city to help them take advantage of the surge
in consumer shopping during the holiday season and beyond to grow
their businesses."
