What Can We Do For You?
As a Member of the Gallery, you will enjoy enhanced exposure of your creative endeavors. We work diligently to promote this venue -- both on and offline. The site is professionally designed and marketed, and optimized for the search engines. Several times throughout the year, members are invited to participate in national publications and magazines, designed to bring additional visitors to the marketplace. Members are asked to place a small graphic on their own websites, designating their membership here at MPG.

Marketplace Gallery is a creative community -- fostering an environment where networking with your peers is encouraged. Be among the first to learn of new market trends, time-saving tips and services, as well as products and services aimed at helping you build your business more efficiently. Through our affiliations with several third party businesses, we are often able to extend product discounts, demos and samples to our members.

Marketplace Gallery is a JURIED community -- meaning, not all requests to join the marketplace will be honored.  If you do not have an existing web presence, you may be asked to submit actual product photos as part of the application process.  This is done in an effort to protect the integrity of our gallery community -- we truly believe we've assembled some of the best artisans and crafters on the net!

Our Gallery Never Closes!
Unlike the limited run at a traditional gallery, or limited hours of operation at a local arts and crafts show, your shop will be accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  You save time and money -- no travel costs associated with attending a show, and no lost time that could be spent creating!

We Value Your Time
Why invest precious creative time learning HTML, webdesign, and marketing? Marketplace Gallery removes the stress from establishing and maintaining a web presence.  Let us handle the day to day operation and promotion of your web business, giving yourself more time to do what you love -- create!

More Than Just Shopping
Arts and Crafts enthusiasts enjoy a wide assortment of free services, as well as pertinent articles and information affecting the market. The site is designed to be bright, and easy to use. It provides a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere that does not have a blatant sales message. This consultative approach helps increase your sales!

Combined Marketing Power
One of the many benefits of membership at MPG is our group promotion and advertising opportunities. The combined buying power created in our joint ad program allows small business owners the exposure normally reserved for much larger pocketbooks.

Search Engine Benefits
We have all heard of the benefits of linking to similarly themed sites. Your membership at MPG allows you to link to a collection of some of the most talented artisans on the net! Currently, our directory represents over 40 arts and crafts disciplines -- think of all of the relevant keyword phrases created by those disciplines! Visitors may enter the Gallery from a myriad of different search criteria -- but once they arrive, they will be presented with a wide assortment of products. Buyers are able to browse a variety of shops in a single browser session!
