PARTICIPATING ARTISANS' COMMENTS FROM LAST YEAR'S ANVIL ARTISAN MARKETPLACE:

Thanks for the wonderful event Heather! And give my best to George.

We did very well. I served over 1500 samples to your guests and we had outstanding sales. I think your guests liked us ;)

Please feel free to include us in any of your future events. Sometimes we get lost over here on the Island, but everything you two have done has been great for us!

Cheers,

We loved the Artisan Market — and Carly and I have always enjoyed that event (Streat Festival) as consumers. Our sales were great and the demographics and people were great. We would do this market again next year hands down.

Thanks again for working so hard to put on good shows.

What Clients Are Saying About Us

Sharon Hubbard

Artist, Sharon Hubbard Arts

I had my best show ever in BC or AB so I am pleased plus it was lots of fun. Thank you for doing a great job all round. I will be recommending the West Coast Christmas show at Tradex to fellow artists in the coming year.

Gerry-Gail Endean

Owner, Creampuff by GG

I had an incredible time at the show! The customers & vendors were wonderful & I had my best sales ever at an event.

Carolyn Findlay

Artist, Cactus Station Woodworking

We enjoyed a great show at the Tradex & had wonderful response from the people attending. So much so that we are wondering if our booth could be enlarged for next year? We feel we need to have a bigger display of our items as we sold out. Although we did take orders but as we know people like to walk away with the item in their hand. Thank you to all for a great show.

Rose Hamilton

Owner, Eagle Spirit Design

I had loads of compliments this year from both visitors and vendors, which I really appreciated. I noticed attendance was up, especially on the Friday evening. My sales were up a little bit too - which is a definite change on most other shows the past few months, which have been having an off year for many of us out there. So whatever you did for marketing, keep it up!
