vendor info update (August 21,
2004)
Why FREE
listings for vendors?
This site was created in 1998, and is
managed on a volunteer basis by a former market vendor who
wanted to see our market have a presence on the World Wide Web.
Local
Internet provider Imagen
Communications supports this site
by hosting the domain at no charge.
Why create a market site?
Every day people check out this site as they make holiday plans for Salt Spring.
Our goal is to inform on-line visitors about the market and have them schedule their
visits around Market Day.
This site is also your link to all those visitors who pass through
Salt Spring during the market season. If someone wants to contact you after they return home, because they
REALLY want that piece they saw at your booth, this makes it easy. Feel free to use the
address of this site on any promotional literature. Even though you may not have your own
web site, visitors will still be able to contact you if your info
appears on this site.
Who gets the money from the
ads sold on this site?
Good
question. This
market web site is heavily promoted
through on-line advertising,
print advertising and special
promotions. This promotion
benefits all the vendors listed
on site and it costs money. Since this site is
created and maintained on a
volunteer basis, no one gets
paid. The ad
revenue is turned around and
used to promote on the
internet so that MORE people can
learn about the market.
We only list folks who ask to
be listed.
If you don't see your name listed
on this site and you'd like to
be listed, email
us. Listings
and descriptions are
kept brief because Imagen has kindly donated the web space for this site. If
you have your own web site, tell us and we'll link to it for FREE. If you want more
exposure, that can be arranged...it's called advertising. If you
want some kind of web presence, but don't know how to do it, call us
at 537-4664 because we help
island artisans get on-line
exposure for less money.
