📢Event coordinators…
STOP asking small businesses and makers to donate their time and products to your event!
Exposure DOES NOT pay the light bill and most small business owners are very much in the “if I don’t work, I don’t eat” camp.
If you want to highlight a product or service at minimum - offer to pay for supplies, offer a meal, transportation… SOMETHING!!!
Small businesses and makers - STOP allowing people to take advantage of you! Know your worth!
*I will step off of my soap box now… (no guarantees that I won’t climb back up there though!)
