Well, market check-in is Pedddle’s USP!
What is a market check-in?
As you know, Pedddle is a directory of markets and stallholders. These business listings (website pages) on Pedddle include markets with a ‘market page’, and stallholders with a ‘stall page’. They tell customers about various events or businesses, with links to the owner’s social media, mailing list, contact details and websites. Stallholders can link to products listed on their online stores and marketplaces, such as Folksy or Shopify. When a stallholder ’checks in’ to a market listed on Pedddle, their business name appears on that market page – and they appear on the market’s page too.
Market check-in takes just a few seconds to do – here’s how:
Market check-in benefits
If you are listed on multiple pages on Pedddle, you will have a broader digital footprint. When a customer searches on Google (or another search engine) for a business, you are then more likely to show up higher in searches. It’s well worth checking-in to all of the markets that you’re selling at!
Stallholders
Checking in to a market increases your online footprint. Customers can find you on our market pages for up to 6 months after the event! A great way for market visitors to find and re-connect with you.
Market Organisers also benefit from check-in, as when a stallholder checks-in to their market, the market page shows up on the stallholders’ page in return. This two-way link boosts SEO and increases online visibility.
Cross-promotion is a wonderful tool and one we utilise a lot at Pedddle, to help the entire market community work cohesively.
PLEASE NOTE – You should only check-in to a market if you are trading there, as agreed by the event organisers. The market check-in function on Pedddle does not replace a booking system, but is a way for stallholders to show potential customers where they will physically be selling at.
