The Y’all Southern Gift Market
Many Southern makers rely heavily on gift markets, trade shows, craft fairs, and festivals to reach consumers with their products. And since many of those events aren’t happening in person right now, Y’all has created its online virtual gift market to help Southern makers connect with consumers who appreciate their products and want to help support small businesses in the South.
How It Works
The Y’all Southern Gift Market is an online virtual gift market where you can become a merchant to sell your products. Just sign up here on this page. We create your virtual vendor booth and load your products into the virtual marketplace. All the links go directly to your website so that all sales are recorded in your website and the money goes directly to you.
Your Virtual Vendor Booth
We create a landing page inside the Y’all Southern Gift Market that is search-optimized around your business name with backlinks to your website, social media, and physical location (if applicable). It tells the unique story of your business, making an emotional connection with shoppers who want to support you. Your merchant page also showcases all your featured products.
Your Products
We create individual product pages to showcase up to 9 of your products. Each of these is categorized in three important ways:
-
- Product Category(ies)
- Price Category
- Recipient & Lifestyle Category(ies)
This makes sure that your products show up in relevant searches whenever shoppers are filtering products to narrow in on choices they’d like to purchase. Each product page is linked back to your merchant page.
Products are also featured in sliders throughout the Y’all Southern Gift Market.
