The new IGC Marketplace
Want to join others who are changing the way business is done in horticulture? The new IGC Marketplace on Facebook is a closed group for vendors to share what they have, and IGC owners & staffers to ask for what they need. It’s not mean to take away from the various trade shows available, but rather to enhance the possibilities for members.
The rules are simple at The IGC Marketplace.
1. Products posted must be garden related (no iPods, shoes, etc.)
2. Don’t post pricing. We don’t want issues with price fixing. Haggle that part out via private message.
Well, that seems simple. It’s a place to meet, see whats available, and make contacts. If your a vendor be sure to get on the vendor list so potential customers can learn more about you.
Since it’s a closed group everyone taking part is identified, which makes it a brighter, friendlier place to do business. No spam, no anonymous posts, no pressure, and no travel.
To change the world, go here.
I can’t thank you and Kat enough for bringing this page to reality for both Independent garden products and IGC owners I look forward to sharing Annie
You welcome Annie. Kat did all the work on setting up the page. I look forward to this, too. It might be a great way for smaller biz to find one another.
I’m hoping this turns into place where a small nursery owner can say, “I’m looking for XYZ?” and a vendor can say, “We’ve got it. Let’s talk.” Not all small businesses have a huge budget to get to all the trade shows and promote or see what’s out there. It’s also very hard for small businesses to compete with the huge advertising campaigns of the big guys and yet it seems the little guys truly have the coolest stuff. I hope we can foster a healthy exchange of ideas and business in the group.
