Christmas Craft Market,

About the event

This will be one of the very best Christmas Craft markets in East Anglia, UK.

With the event situated inside of of the largest shopping centres in the UK, with a recorded footfall of over 50,000 people per day in 2019, this will be one of the best places to shop this Christmas!

Our Christmas Craft market is right in the middle of this amazing venue and will benefit from the very best of that huge footfall. We will be having up to 20 stalls per day from Wednesday - Sunday starting on the 2nd December.

We also accept handmade unqiue items into our events, we are commited to supporting local this Christmas!

Why should you sponsor?

We calculate that at around 50,000 people per day coming through the centre, around 5% would directly interact with a sponsor. This means a total of 15 active days will see our sponsor reach a potential 37500 of meaningful customers. This number could however be substantially higher due to our social media and physical media presence.

With gold level sponsorship we could expand our advertising campaign substantially and inculde sponsor details in all of our promotions. In previous years we have interacted with over 200,000 people for a single event just on social media.

We have also appeared on local radios and local mazgines previous and would include sponsor details in these too. 

The potential impact of all of this would be substanially higher than the above 37500.

Chris Slack

The Craft Market Network is run by Chris and Sam.

We started out as traders ourselves and noticed the events we were attending were poor. We decided to start approaching venues to organise our own.

We started with only a few events per year, but we had a great venue with a high natural footfall. We had only around 10 stallholders attending, but everyone had a great time. Stallholders said they were some of the best local events they had attended. 

We expanded heavily in year 2, going to a monthly event at that same venue. We had more stallholders interested, going up to 15-20 per event. We then started contacting other venues to get more events going. By the end of the year we had another 4 events in a larger venue.

We quickly got head hunted by another venue, with a huge footfall. A popluar shopping centre with over 16 million in annual footfall.

We have gone from strength to strength as a business and personally, with Chris taking a level 4 diploma in events management. We currenlty have over 21 events per year, with a further expansion planned for 2021. Our monthly market is still going, but now with over 25 stalls at each event.

We want to make the next step and talk with sponsors, this will only make our events even better. We hope to start a relationship with the right sponsors to push us as far as we can go.

Thank you for taking time to read our story.
