Holiday Marketplace Is Back!

With the holiday season around the corner, the Women’s Business Center (WBC) at JEDI is thrilled to launch our Holiday Marketplace! Starting November 30th on Small Business Saturday, this online marketplace is designed to spotlight local Northern California businesses, connecting you with shoppers eager to support local enterprises. If you're looking to showcase your products or services, increase visibility, and engage with a community that values local talent, this is the perfect platform for you.

Here’s how participating in the WBC Holiday Marketplace can benefit your business:

1. Stand Out in Our Online Marketplace

Joining our online marketplace places your business in front of local shoppers actively looking for unique holiday gifts and services. Unlike just listing on a generic platform, this curated marketplace is specially tailored to showcase the best of Northern California’s small businesses. Imagine your products highlighted in a space designed to attract customers who are committed to shopping local, making it easier for them to discover and support you.

2. Reach a Broader Audience Through Social Media

Along with an online marketplace listing, participating businesses will benefit from WBC’s targeted social media promotion across platforms like Facebook and Instagram. With dedicated promotion days, your business will reach more holiday shoppers and establish a lasting impression. Do you have promotional videos for your business? Perfect! If so, we can even incorporate these into your spotlight, helping potential customers experience the essence of your brand firsthand.

3. Ongoing Access to WBC Resources

Participating in the Holiday Marketplace is more than just a seasonal opportunity. As part of the WBC community, you’ll gain access to free events, workshops, and one-on-one consulting services that support your business well beyond the holidays. Whether it’s expert advice or skill-building sessions, we’re committed to empowering local entrepreneurs like you.

Why Join the WBC Holiday Marketplace?

At WBC, our mission is to help local businesses succeed and create meaningful connections with the community. The Holiday Marketplace is one of the many ways we support small business owners, offering an easy way to boost your visibility and sales this season. We know that a thriving local economy starts with empowered entrepreneurs, and we’re here to provide you with the resources and community support to help your business grow.
