Search - Discover - Shop The year 2020 forced us all to pivot and adjust the way we do business. Our industry, like many others, has been adversely affected. At IndieMe we continue to look for ways to keep moving forward towards the future. We are excited to announce our 4th IndieMe Marketplace Virtual Expo, September 8-14, 2021! Our first three, wholesale, handcrafted virtual trade shows held during 2020 and 2021, were a tremendous success; during our 3rd expo in February 2021, the event grew by 149% from the 1st expo in June 2020. Many of our retailers and artists told us it was "just what the industry needed.” The expertise and industry-specific knowledge provided by IndieMe Marketplace, LLC, positions the company for the concept of a Virtual Expo. The expo opened the door to many NEW buyers that are now registered and happily shopping the IndieMe Marketplace. Many retailers have stressed how thrilled they are to see a platform focused solely on Handcrafted, Made in the USA / Canada product lines. As one buyer put it, "now I can shop year-round for handcrafted never having to leave my store! Thank you IndieMe!"
