I’m excited to announce a special Spring Virtual Tradeshow taking place May 4–8 (Monday–Friday). You’re invited to join the online celebration of small businesses, product demos, and interactive presentations.
Details of the Spring Virtual Tradeshow: May 4–8
What is a “virtual tradeshow”?
With in-person trade shows canceled across the country, eleven small business vendors are bringing the booth experience online. Instead of physical displays, each vendor will present their products and business from home via a private Facebook group. Expect live videos, photo posts, product demos, and chances to ask questions in real time.
Where can I join?
The event takes place inside a dedicated Facebook group. Request to join the Tradeshow Facebook Group. Invite friends and share the event — the more attendees, the better the experience.
How does the virtual tradeshow work?
Each vendor will host a one-hour time slot on their assigned day to showcase products, answer questions, and offer special deals. Presentations vary between live videos and curated photo posts. If you’re interested in a particular business, tune in during the scheduled hour to catch demos, learn helpful tips, and shop directly from each vendor. Purchases support women-owned small businesses.
There are two main giveaways during the week. Any attendee who purchases from one or more vendors will be entered into a draw to win a $100 shopping spree. Additional vendor-hosted giveaways and door prizes may be offered in their own Facebook pages, increasing your chances to win.
