What to expect

The most interactive online marketplace yet

As a vendor, you will have your own virtual stall at the Irish Virtual Christmas Market where you can include your business name, description, logo, banner image, website and social links. You have the option to include a special offer (discount) area with a customisable button. This button can link directly to your website / store or can be used to collect attendees details such as email address and name.

The best feature is the choice for vendors to use live video streams to interact directly with stall visitors.

This event is run on the Hopin platform.
