Hello everyone! We’re so excited to welcome you to the first-ever farmers market in the metaverse on March 13th from 1–3pm EST. You’re receiving this email because you made the wise choice to grab a ticket!
A few quick, important notes for all attendees:
We’ll email you a link to the virtual world about 24h before the event begins.
The MetaMarket is email-gated. If you received this as an email, you’re on the list and will be able to access the world by logging in with this email.
Add it to your calendar if you haven’t already: Sunday 3/13, 1–3 PM Eastern!
You will be able to access the market from a web browser on your smartphone or computer. We recommend Chrome from a computer.
Just like a traditional farmers market, the MetaMarket will be way more fun to explore with a friend. So, invite a friend or two! They can use code “friends” to save $2.
If you refer a friend who grabs a ticket, enter your email & theirs on this form and you’ll both be entered into our raffle for a special basket of goodies from our vendors!
A bit of background:
We created the MetaMarket for three main reasons.
Online shopping doesn’t have to be so boring or isolating.
Traditional ecomm restricts your ability to connect with the people behind your favorite brands.
If we didn’t do it first, Zuckerberg would do it first and mess it up for everyone.
We know a “metaverse farmers market” is a foreign concept, so we did put together some brief FAQs. But, really, you’ll get it when you experience it first-hand — which is why we’re so excited to see you this weekend.
Who’ll be at this thing:
First, a quick shoutout to our incredible co-host CPGD, and our epic sponsors:
Gather — The best metaverse tech in town (which is why it’s powering the MetaMarket).
Boost — Decentralizing commerce with instant purchase Tags to monetize your media. Making your world your store, online and offline.
Hawke Media — Your outsourced CMO. Better marketing for online businesses of all sizes.
Thingtesting — Discover reviews of consumer products and all sorts of cool things from 2,000+ modern brands.
We also could not be more thrilled to have so many of the coolest brands on the internet at the very first MetaMarket. And they’re all offering exclusive deals only available on the day of the market — so set a couple alarms!
Arey • Askanya Chocolate • Buoy • Byte Bars • EXO • FIELD + FARMER • Forth & Nomad • Iron Lion Soap • Miracle Seltzer • OffLimits Cereal • Outer • Pereg • Pzaz • Rainbo • SHAZ & KIKS • Stojo • Swoon • The Sill • Welly
We anticipate the MetaMarket to have all the same serendipity of an IRL farmers market, and to feel a whole lot like one. We’re pumped to embark on this virtual adventure with you, and we’re excited to tell our grandkids we were there for the first farmers market ever held in the metaverse.
If you have questions or anything else, DM us on Twitter @shopmetamarket! And follow us on there and on Instagram @_metamarket while you’re at it ;)
See you in the metaverse!
