Host a WorldCrafts Virtual Market

You can support WorldCrafts artisans around the world by hosting a WorldCrafts virtual market.

Here are some helpful tips as you plan your virtual market.

Before:

  • Take the new online self-guided mini-course WorldCrafts: An Overview to be prepared to share about WorldCrafts. You will learn tangible ways to support fair-trade artisans around the world and be equipped to teach others about WorldCrafts.
  • Select a date, time, and social platform for your event.
  • Download our suggested posts and images to use for your virtual market.
  • Consider doing a live video during the virtual market. Order a Display Set to have product to show at your virtual event or order specific products you would like to share at your event. Please plan to only share products currently available for sale on WorldCrafts.org.
  • Download the WorldCrafts Talking Points document so you have a few talking points to share via posts or video.
  • Make some of our fun international recipes and send the link to others to enjoy while they participate in the virtual market.
