Erin Madeley, the brains behind Perth Makers Market and Perth Upmarket
Manage episode 341324144 series 3263602
The historical origin of communities coming together was the marketplace way back in the day, when merchants would trade resources locally and internationally. The marketplace has evolved from livestock and service tools to fresh produce and crafts, but holds the same value now as it once did. Erin is the epicentre of Perth's successful Makers Market and now Upmarket, too, and we grilled her about all things to do with building a market community.
We cover what "local" actually means, what it's like to be the organiser of a large market including dealing with applicants, unforeseen events, and employees, all without negating the integrity of what a market feels like to visitors, and the importance of creating a business plan for longevity of success.
