The time has come for our 2020 Marketplace holiday order deadlines. Get ready to make Christmas magic happen!
The pre-Christmas season is the online shopping event of the year and COVID-19 is leading to an even higher online order volume this year. As a Designer, this means more sales opportunities for you! To let your fans know and to make sure your designs go online in time for the holiday shopping season, check out this year’s order deadlines.
But first, you’ll probably be glad to know that more people are shopping for gifts online even earlier this year. Take note: Cyber Weekend at the end of November is a particularly important shopping event.
