Frequently Asked Questions

When is the booth registration deadline?

Wednesday, November 25th at 9:00AM EST.

How much does a booth cost?

Booths are free for eligible small businesses.

What size business is considered small?

Businesses with less than 100 employees are considered "small" for this event. 

Does my business need to be located in Greater Boston?

Small businesses must be located in the state of Massachusetts to be eligible for a booth.

How does the virtual marketplace work?

Your small business will have its own booth where shoppers can learn more about your products/services. You will have the opportunity to serve as a booth representative and take part in chat-based conversations with interested shoppers. All small businesses will be responsible for e-commerce through their own websites as the virtual marketplace does not provide the ability to process online transactions.

Will I have help setting up my online booth?

Don’t worry! Our organizers will be on-hand to help you, should you run into any technical problems during setup and during Shop Small Saturday.
