A Unique Shopping Experience
Artists, Treasure Hunters, Collectors, Makers, Pickers, Resellers, Frustrated Shop Owners, Booth Renters, Upcyclers, Repurposers, and General Creative Types – you are in the right place!
Sell Your Finds & Creations For More – With Less Hassle
You get more time for creating; Then Is Now handles the rest. We will be using tech-driven marketing, immersive and interactive display techniques, and professional salesmanship, so you will see your pieces earn what they are truly worth.
More Time to Create and Curate (Less Time Selling)
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 with QR codes that can 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’re a picker, artist, up-cycler, or collectibles curator
- You’re tired of hauling your work around, selling on-line, marketing, or underpricing your work
- 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
Ready to Sell More — and Work Less?
We are accepting a limited number of vendors (we call them Contributors) per category to maintain quality and avoid oversaturation.
