We’ll invite you to join our community if you meet our curation criteria above and:
As we strive to work with small businesses based in the region of that particular shop/concession, it could be a day, month, year or longer before we contact you. Unfortunately we can’t reply to everyone at the time of application.
If and when we do contact you inviting you to stock your products with us (and you accept our invitation and terms) we’ll provide lots of information on how to prepare, what to expect and how to do things the Curated Makers way… we do things differently around here!
-
are local to areas where we have Pop-Ups (or potential Pop-Ups)
-
make products that fill gaps in our current stores
-
offer something unique
-
We set-up, run and pack down all our shops and concessions ourselves. Our lovely shop floor teams process sales, replenish stock and provide an excellent customer experience during the long hours the Pop-Up is open. As a maker, all you need to do is follow our processes, meet our requests and of course provide your wonderful stock to sell. We'll do the rest! You then pay us a commission on all of the products we sell on your behalf.
WHY JOIN OUR MAKER NETWORK
We want to make money for small businesses and we operate a shared risk, shared reward model. Our stores and concessions are run on commission made from selling your products, which means we do everything we can to make you money, as our own income and continuation as a business depends on it. There are many other benefits that our makers say they enjoy by working with us too, including the key ones below.
BRAND AWARENESS
Your products showcased and available for purchase, in person, in a prominent location, 7 days a week. Along with gaining loyal customers and their repeat custom, makers have had wholesale deals, corporate orders and been approached by other stockists after their products were discovered at one of our Pop-Ups.
BUSINESS LEARNINGS
Learn about your best selling designs and products, differences between retail and online sales, how to develop your range, what improvements you can make to packaging and how to adapt your business to increase your limits, meet demand and scale up. With sales reports and data analysis we can really help your business grow.
CONFIDENCE
Become more confident in your products, business and own personal abilities and capacity. There's a legitimacy that comes with being stocked in high profile locations and/or within big retailers so more people, including yourself, will take your small businesses more seriously!

“One of the things I was so impressed with when taking part in the event was how prompt the welcome/pre-event emails were, and how detailed… Preparing for the pop up was the least stressed I've ever been for any event… Especially loved the videos showing us how to use the spreadsheets as it works much better for me seeing it being done over having it written down. I honestly thought it was absolutely amazing how much info we were given!"
ANGHARAD, HAD DAVIES
“I have had such a positive experience of working with Megan and the team. The whole set up is EXTREMELY well organised and my sales have been better than I could have ever imagined. A very special opportunity!”
MELISSA, WESTERN SKETCH
“Working with Curated Makers allowed my business to grow in ways I did not know we could grow. One of the most special things I can get away from this experience is the fact that I was able to tell my grandmother's story to people I would not have been able to reach before this. Having the business at Battersea Power Station was a blessing that we will be grateful for all our life.”
CARLA, BYLOLA
“Being involved in Pop-Ups with Curated Makers has provided me with invaluable opportunities to sell my products on the High Street. As a small business that mainly operates online, this has opened up a fantastic new revenue stream and given me access to a group of customers that would never have found me, if it wasn't for the Pop-Ups!”
KIRSTY, KIRSTY FREEMAN DESIGN
“Stocking in Curated makers has changed our business. It has given me the confidence to grow and expand. The sales are beyond my wildest dreams. I highly recommend it to anyone”
