Exciting Updates at the Goat House!
Hello Vendors,
We are thrilled to announce some fantastic upgrades to the Goat House! Gone are the days of it looking like someone’s weird basement. We’ve installed beautiful new floors and given the walls a fresh coat of paint, transforming the space into a more welcoming and attractive environment.
To enhance the atmosphere even further, we are actively collecting high-resolution photos of Steel Goat Marketplace activities. Our goal is to create stunning XL picture frames to decorate the space with vibrant, memorable moments from our marketplace.
As a result of these improvements, there will be a slight change in how the Goat House is rented. Please stay tuned for further details on these changes in the near future.
Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make the Goat House a fantastic place for everyone!
Best regards,
Steel Goat Marketplace Team

In a world where empowerment and wellness are paramount, collaboration often becomes the catalyst for transformative change. The EmpowerHER Expo stands as a shining example of this synergy, where a collective of visionary women came together to create something truly extraordinary.
.
Jess, the innovative behind Saging Space, and Erin, the heart and soul of Lifted Spiritss, found themselves drawn together by a shared purpose: to empower women and foster holistic well-being within their community. As they journeyed along their respective paths, the universe seemed to conspire in their favor, presenting them with unmistakable signs that their services were not only desired but needed. Joined by Haley from The Cosmic Chick and Jeanette of Jeanette’s Vitality Art, their collaboration took flight, culminating in the EmpowerHer Expo – an event designed to uplift, inspire, and nurture the women in their community.
.
On May 11th, the EmpowerHer Expo will come to life at the Steel Goat Marketplace with a series of FREE workshops crafted by these passionate women, each offering their unique expertise and perspective. From mindfulness and meditation to holistic wellness practices, the workshops promise to be a holistic journey towards your wellness journey.
.
But the EmpowerHer Expo is more than just a collective of workshops; it’s a celebration of feminine strength, resilience, and community. It’s a safe space where women can come together to learn, grow, and support one another on their individual paths towards wellness and empowerment. Through their collaboration, Jess, Erin, Haley, and Jeanette are not only offering their services, but also their hearts and souls, uniting in a shared mission to elevate women’s wellness. Their dedication, passion, and unwavering belief in the power of collaboration serve as an inspiration to us all.
.
And the magic doesn’t stop there! More amazing businesses have joined our cause, adding their expertise and passion to the EmpowerHer Expo. We even have flash tattoos happening by TrashCat Ink! Want to learn more about this event and the incredible people behind it? You can RSVP online at

As a vendor at Steel Goat Marketplace, you’re not just part of a business ecosystem; You’re part of a vibrant community brimming with potential. Beyond the confines of your own area, lies a treasure trove of products and services offered by your fellow vendors. Today, we’re inviting you to embark on a journey of exploration within our marketplace and discover why familiarizing yourself with other vendors and their offerings can be a game-changer for your business.
Embracing the Power of Community
At Steel Goat Marketplace, we understand the power of community and the impact it can have on individual businesses. By fostering a culture of collaboration and support among vendors, we create an environment where everyone thrives. When you take the time to engage with your fellow vendors, you not only strengthen your own network but also contribute to the collective success of the marketplace as a whole.
Amplifying Your Reach
One of the most significant benefits of familiarizing yourself with other vendors is the opportunity to expand your customer base. Each vendor brings a unique set of products or services to the table, catering to different needs and preferences. By becoming familiar with what your fellow vendors offer, you can confidently recommend their products to your customers, creating a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Imagine a scenario where a customer approaches you in search of something you don’t offer—perhaps they’re looking for artisanal candles or organic skincare products. Instead of turning them away empty-handed, you can direct them to a respective vendor within Steel Goat Marketplace. Not only does this enhance the customer experience, but it also strengthens the reputation of the marketplace as a go-to destination for a wide range of goods.
Harnessing the Power of Word-of-Mouth Marketing
In the world of vendor marketplaces, word-of-mouth marketing reigns supreme. Satisfied customers are more likely to spread the word about their positive experiences, driving traffic and sales for all vendors involved. By actively engaging with your fellow vendors and promoting their products, you contribute to the collective success of the marketplace while also building goodwill within the community.
Furthermore, by encouraging your customers to explore other vendors within Steel Goat Marketplace, you position yourself as a trusted source of recommendations, further solidifying your reputation as a knowledgeable and customer-focused vendor.
Building Lasting Relationships
Beyond the realm of business transactions, getting to know your fellow vendors fosters genuine connections and friendships that can last a lifetime. Whether it’s sharing tips and insights or lending a helping hand during busy times, the bonds formed within the marketplace extend far beyond the confines of individual stalls.
By building a strong sense of camaraderie and support among vendors, Steel Goat Marketplace becomes not just a place to conduct business, but a thriving community where everyone feels valued and appreciated.
Conclusion
As you navigate your journey as a vendor at Steel Goat Marketplace, remember that you’re not alone. Embrace the power of community, amplify your reach, harness the potential of word-of-mouth marketing, and build lasting relationships with your fellow vendors. Together, we can create a marketplace that not only serves the needs of our customers but also uplifts and empowers each and every member of our community. So, go ahead, take a stroll around the marketplace, discover the hidden gems waiting to be uncovered, and let’s continue to thrive together.
