    A huge amount of investment and production go into our events that you don’t see — we design/print maps for the shoppers, submit architectural layouts to the Fire Dept for approvals, etc. — if you cancel your participation after March 28 you forfeit your space and booth fee.

  • Our markets feature small businesses and artisans that are ready to grow and scale to the next level. As a WOC-owned business ourselves, we’re passionate about showcasing diverse, innovative, modern voices that are also driven by creativity and community!

    We look at each application, and then your website and social channels to get a fully-developed look at your business. We’re looking for:

    • High quality and ethically sourced products (if you do not make them yourself)

    • Consistent, high-quality branding and photography

    • Innovative, fresh voices

    • Your story and the history of the business; we want to know who you are and why you do what you do

    • Items that are priced accordingly (you can sell earrings at $10 or $500, but we must feel that your items are priced accordingly for the materials used, the genre of goods you’re in, etc)

    • A sense that you’re ready for our market and to take your business to the next level

  • We are not qualified to offer any business or tax compliance advice, but we encourage you to consult with an accountant or visit www.irs.gov for more details on collecting sales tax, registering your business, etc.

    Requirements change from city-to-city, so you should also investigate Los Angeles specific permit, license and sales tax requirements in relation to selling at events.

    If you are a food Seller, you may be required to get additional permitting.

Seller Testimonials

  • "Thank you for putting together such a great market... It definitely exceeded my expectations and was my BEST market to date!"

    Shop Tita

  • "Unique Markets was such a key part of our early growth - it gave us access to real & motivated customers (since they had to pay and entrance fee) in a delightfully curated, inspiring environment - making it stand out from other markets, and the monotony of online shopping."

    Tea Drops

  • "Unique feels different because it actually puts real people/vendors in the same room and makes it easy to build relationships that turn into sales, collabs, and referrals. The support is hands on too, I never feel like just a vendor because you’re genuinely invested in helping small businesses grow beyond social media."

    Walker Noble Studios

  • "I only did one show this year and it was Unique Markets. Not all markets are created equal, Sonja cares and invests a great deal of effort promoting and getting the right buyers through the door as well as giving you all the promo pieces to diy. The vendors are highly curated, the space is beautiful and the floor plan is well thought out."

    I Must Draw

  • "This weekend was not only successful in sales but also incredibly affirming — It was inspiring to connect with my ideal customers… Thank you for providing such a well-curated, high-energy space for us to shine."

    Gabriela

  • "After applying to several other events, I have to say the team at Unique provides superior service with preparation and support.”

    Hernan

  • “I wish all event organizers were like you - Thank you!”

    Ken

“Household brands like PF Candle Co, Hedley & Bennett, and photographer Gray Malin have all showcased at Unique Markets — their track record is strong.”
