Today’s MMM is brought to us by Chrissy French!

I founded the she-market last summer after doing a number of booths and paying an arm and a leg for them!! I was an independent consultant for the pampered chef and needed new ways to find business. I did a few events that were put on by the city and I paid a ton of money to be put in between an insurance agent and a school district. Don’t get me wrong, I love these events but it was a little hard to be seen in the midst of ALL the other booths and all the other people walking around. I am an idependent business owner so paying the fees was a little hard to stomach as well.

I started thinking to myself, there has got to be an event that is strictly for businesses like mine and all the other independents out there trying to sell a product. So the she-market was born!! My father helped me brainstorm the first event. He helped me think of places that we could hold the she-market, what we should call it, how we should advertise it and everything else.

The first she-market was held last July 25th at Jake’s farm in Loveland. We had a number of booths such as tupperware, partylite, lia sophia, pampered chef, cookie lee, discovery toys just to name a few. Women could come and get information about hosting shows to earn free product, do some shopping, eat some food and just have a girly good time!! The best part about it is that the ladies doing a booth only had to pay $50.00 for their spot! That is a little better than the $360.00 I had paid in the past!! I am able to keep the booth cost down because I do ask the ladies doing a booth to help me get the word out instead of paying so much for advertising.

We also have done a lot of fundraising at the she-market. We do a raffle for prizes earning money for Relay for Life and the Avon Walk For Breast Cancer. I plan on adding a lot more fundraising to future she-markets.

I see a dunk tank in the future. I wanted to make an event that is fun to go to, a good time for woman, a place to get information on businesses and products that they will love, beneficial for woman in business and just something different. It has been the most amazing thing I have ever done and I am so very proud to say it is mine!!
