The UNIQUE Difference

when choosing where to showcase your brand, think ‘quality over quantity’

15 years of event production experience & leadership

Since we created the very first ticketed pop-up market in America, back in 2008, we’ve seen it all!

Including a recession, a global pandemic, the rise (and fall) of the Girlboss, and the creation of social media — and we have the scars and learnings that only a well-seasoned small biz can bring to the table to lead with.

a+ connections & relationships

We are not like other markets. We help attract, bring in and make the right connections YOU need to grow your business - from customers to retail buyers, media and influencers, to investors. It’s not about two days of sales, it’s about creating connections for future business growth.

we create retail innovation, while others copy/follow us

Our extensive backgrounds in traditional retail and online ecommerce allow us to merchandise, design and produce our events with extreme attention to detail that others simply don’t have - from sound design to traffic/way finding architecture, we create environments that celebrate creativity and increase spending and length of stay.

8 Reasons to Join Unique World

Long-term success & growth, not day-of sales:

“We have done very well at your markets, but the slower markets are the ones where we have made the most impactful connections.”

“GOOD QUALITY HUMAN” SHARES HOW OUR SMALLER, QUALITY COMMUNITY OF ATTENDEES MAKES A B-I-G DIFFERENCE TO BUSINESSES:

  • Our first holiday market with you was crazy busy and you connected us to Vista Print, which became a great partnership that led us to being a part of the Season Finale of the show “GROWNISH” in May 2024.

  • The Summer markets were slower but we were discovered by the LA Times and were featured in the ‘Best Christmas Gifts for 2023’ guide, and we connected with the a shop buyer in LAX and we will soon be at the airport!

    The work that Unique has put in for many years is respected by people who are looking for curated products.
