NEW YORK & ASHEVILLE, N.C. - BostonChron -- Online shopping is the best way to find lots of options and shop businesses that would normally be out of area. But for the consumer it's a one-way experience, no conversation, no face to put to the company. Many people enjoy opportunities to support local small businesses, to know the person behind the company, and to have a conversation during the shopping experience.

The Online Holistic Market is bringing local crafters and small holistic businesses together with conscious consumers, for an interactive afternoon via an online platform called Hopin. Attendees can visit virtual vendor booths, shop products & services, have live 2-way conversations with vendors on camera, the same way they would if they were in person but with that weekend market feel.

Sarai Peotdi, co-creator of The Online Holistic Market, feels passionate about helping entrepreneurs get more eyes on their business. "This year I wanted to create more opportunities for business owners to show up, be seen, to offer value and make money. Plus, it gives shoppers a unique experience to connect with small business vendors from all over the U.S. Imagine being able to shop local markets across the country. That's the vision here. Still the idea of a local marketplace, just not local to them."

And so The Online Holistic Market was born. Taking place on September 10, 2023 from 12pm-2pm EDT, Vendors will be offering: Handmade Crafts/Jewelry/Trinkets/Decor, Crystals, Candles, Herbs/Teas, Natural Body Care, Books, Clothing, Healing Oils, Spiritual Tools, Wellness Products, Intuitive Readers, Astrology, Tarot/Oracle, Human Design, Energy Healing, Spiritual & Life Coaching Services, Business Guidance, Digital Marketing Templates, & More.

Vendors will be offering special event pricing, event exclusive offerings, learning sessions, live healings/readings, and giveaways. There is even opportunity to connect with other attendees! Yep, they thought of everything!
