Tips

Looking for a few tips to help set up shop?

Showcasing an item:  You can elect to Showcase 3 of their best products.  These products will be highlighted and posted at the top of the page until you change them.  You may also elect “Vendor Direct” as an option for Showcased items—the product is not for sale on PM (the item is permitted as a promotional or a for sale item) but you elect to sell the product on your other business website.  This is allowed, but you are limited with Vendor Direct to the 3 Showcase products on PM, and all responsibilities and liabilities for the purchase are solely accepted by the Vendor.

Featuring your profile or a product:  You can apply to become “Featured” at any time, up to eight weeks at a time.  Being featured is not guaranteed, and we vet applications based on Member Ratings / number of Featured per Category / frequency of Feature requests.   Being Featured is a great opportunity to increase visibility and we recommend you position yourself wisely according to when the need for your service or product is most relevant.

The “Category Calendar”

Public Marketspace has a Category Calendar to promote featured products and services specific to that category, and as a topic of discussion on our blog and in our monthly newsletter. Check out which months are most relevant to you:
