Virtual Market
In addition to the In-person Market, your business will be featured in a special Virtual Market which we will create and distribute to Liberty Mutual Employees before the event. This will help create buzz around the market and allow remote employees to shop and support!
How It Work:
At registration, you will provide us with a bit of information you’d like featured in the Virtual Market.
BWM does not take orders or ship on your behalf. Your feature will link directly to the URL you’ll specify at registration.
Participating vendors will be required to offer a special/promotion for employees. You will need to supply a Promo code that is redeemable on your website, Etsy shop, or the like. (Ex: 15% off your online order with code LIBERTY at check-out.)
You are not required to offer this discount during the in-person event, but you’re more than welcome to!
The BWM team designs a lovely online deck that showcases your business and story!
The Virtual Market will be distributed throughout Liberty Mutual via their internal newsletters, portals, and signage starting March 16.
How We Use Your Registration Fee:
At BWM, we want to be open and honest about how we use your vendor fee. We always aim to put your fee to good use and ensure that our events are a success for your small business!
Here are some ways we plan to use your vendor fee for this event:
The creation and management of a Virtual Online Market
Labor costs for BWM Staff.
Event Decor and supplies
Investment in future BWM initiatives.
Cancellation Policy
We understand life events occur and plans change! Please review our cancellation policy thoroughly before applying to ensure this is the right opportunity for you.
To cancel, you must notify BWM via e-mail at hello@Bostonwomensmarket.com by the following dates:
100% refund: If notified at least 10 days before the date of the event.
50% refund: If notified at least 9 days before the date of the event.
No refund: If notified 8 days or less before the date of the event.
Bad Weather Event Cancellation Policy:
If the Boston Women’s Market team cancels an event due to inclement weather (wind, rain, storms, heatwave, snow storms, etc.) you will receive a refund of your registration fee minus 18%. Table & Chair rental fees will be refunded 100%.
Why are we now charging a 18% fee?
As you can imagine, a great deal of time, effort and money has already been spent well in advance of knowing we will need to cancel an event due to weather. Each time we have to cancel an event, BWM loses hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars that has already been spent on advertising and labor. Additionally, we have to re-do all our labor and marketing to re-advertise an event if it is moved to a new date. In order to help plug this large leak and keep us financially stable, we have decided to implement this new policy. This is not a decision that we have taken lightly. We personally know how important every dollar is to a small business. We hope you can understand why we have to implement this new policy.
This Bad Weather policy will apply to:
Events that have been cancelled and no rescheduled date can be established
If an event has been rescheduled to a new date, and you cannot participate in the new date.
