Faire Marketplace: Empowering CPG Entrepreneurs to Chase Their Dreams
Faire is an online marketplace that helps retailers find and buy unique wholesale merchandise for their stores. It also offers makers/brands an opportunity to sell and market to thousands of retail store owners. They help create a bright future for independent retailers & brands. We personally love Faire for our mission-driven CPG brands or wellness-centered product brand clients. It allows them to reach a longer audience of buyers.
For Makers
Once Etsy Wholesale closed there weren’t many platforms available to makers to sell wholesale directly to retailers. Well, now there’s Faire. It’s a platform for makers to sell their products.
Faire is growing in popularity and I know of many makers who are getting substantial orders and generating lots of revenue through Faire.
Becoming a brand on Faire will help you grow and streamline your business. Over 60,000 independent retailers come to shop Faire’s marketplace to discover new products and to take advantage of risk-free terms.

For Retailers
If you’re a retailer looking for an online platform to order unique and handmade items, Faire might be ideal for you.
“Faire is on a mission to revolutionize the way retailers shop for their stores. We take all the pain out of buying for store owners. Retailers can come to Faire to find unique and exciting products from hundreds of makers all in one place. We have also created the first wholesale marketplace to offer free returns. Our goal is to make every item in your store a bestseller.”
For many new entrepreneurs, when they first open a brick-and-mortar or online shop, it can be a daunting process, and certainly if they know about the buying process.
We love to support handmade artists so when Etsy Wholesale came along we were ecstatic to see so many of our clients with shops utilize this new branch of Etsy. But that didn’t last long. Then Faire (formerly known as Indigo Fair) launched and our client's ability to buy from many makers in one place was available again. YES!
Faire has some perks for your first order:
Your opening order with each maker is eligible for free returns, up to 60 days from the date of order
Shipping is free on your very first order with Faire – order from as many makers as you like
If you qualify, Net 60 payment terms are available for all of your orders
