Sell Your Finds & Creations For More – With Less Hassle
You get more time for creating and curating; Then Is Now handles the rest. We use tech-driven marketing, immersive and interactive display techniques, and professional salesmanship, so your pieces earn what they are truly worth.
More Time to Create and Curate
We handle styling, pricing, customer interaction, marketing, and fulfillment – so you don’t have to be on-site or ship anything.
No Booth Setup or Staffing
We don’t rent booths. All inventory is presented as luxury goods and integrated into rooms styled like those in a home, each in a different popular design style – no setup, teardown, upkeep, or coverage needed.
Boosted Credibility and Brand Awareness
We showcase you and your items through QR codes that link to your site, story, or socials and we actively promote our vendors as part of our brand narrative. Because we’re based in Frankenmuth, Michigan – a destination visited by millions each year – your work gets seen not only by passionate design lovers and locals, but also by a steady stream of tourists eager to discover unique, meaningful pieces and places.
You Might Be a Fit If…
- You are looking for a passive income stream
- You want to decrease time spent hauling all of your work around, selling on-line, marketing, and dealing with customer issues
- You believe your work deserves to be seen and appreciated
- You’re ready to sell to a higher-end, design-focused customer
- You have your own social media (especially videos) we can link to for marketing both businesses and key items on display

❓ FAQ SECTION
Q: How much does it cost to be part of Then Is Now?
A: Similar to a traditional booth, rent is based on how much space your goods occupy within the store and whether they require special care or knowledge to display and sell. Monthly rent typically ranges from $60–$250 (with potential discounts), plus a 15–25% commission (lower rent corresponds to higher commission). This fee includes professional staging, ongoing upkeep, marketing, stock rotation, and active in-store salesmanship – support you would not typically receive when renting a booth or selling on your own.
Q: Do I need to restock every week?
A: Not at all. We communicate when restocking is needed and work with your schedule. If you find something great or complete a project – let us know.
Q: Can I be featured in your marketing?
A: Absolutely. We love highlighting makers and pickers in our videos, QR tags, and social content.
Q: What if I sell online or elsewhere already?
A: Great! We’ll promote your links via QR code in-store and send traffic your way.
Q: Do you have an on-line store?
A: Our on-line store will open soon after our in-person shop and will sell small second chance merchandise using the same Then Is Now staging and story-telling to maximize perceived value.
