Q:
What exactly does it mean to have
free "market vendor"
listing?
A:
Think of your
free listing as a listing in a phone book;
complete with cross references The free listing adds
your name to the database of vendors. By clicking on "more info" under your
name, folks will see contact
info for your home or
business.
By being listed here you benefit from all the promotion given to the Market through this
site. The free listing won't make you "stand out" in
the crowd, but DOES mean that anyone
searching for you on the Internet can easily find you through this
site If you have a web site,
we'll link to it free of
charge... and you'll benefit
even more!

Q:
What's the difference between a web site and a web page?
A: A web site is
a "suite" of interconnected (linked) pages, Something like an extensive
brochure. It can be as detailed as you like, and usually has an address specific to your
business. A web page is a single page component of a web site. The page
can be completely devoted to one subject or business, but does not need to be. It is
connected to other pages within the site by links and usually bears an address denoting it
as a sub-level of the site.
|
Q: If my
vendor listing here is free, do I need to have a web site too?
A:
No, but any
market vendor business listed would benefit from having its own
site or page. Think of
your free listing as a regular listing in the White Pages of the phone
book (in this case,
a phone book about the Saturday Market). Now, think of your web
page or site as a display ad
appearing in the Yellow Pages of the Saturday Market phone book. Get it?

Q:
It
looks like some vendors have
ads on the site. What's up
with that?
A:
Some vendors choose to
further promote their
business with paid advertising on
saltspringmarket.com. These
folks understand the
popularity of the site and
how they benefit from
maximum exposure.
Advertising here allows them
to stand out on a page of
artisans in a similar field. The
money they pay for
advertising goes directly
towards further promoting
this site... so they are
helping to boost exposure of
everyone listed here!
