"Here at Hines Brines the Winter Artisan Market (SOKONI) has been AMAZING! Our product is in front of so many more people than we could reach on our own, and the marketing collateral developed for us to use has not only saved me time, but money. I’m so honored to be apart of the market and can’t wait until next year. I know it will be bigger and better for my business.”

"We participated in the SOKONI pop-up and were very pleased! First and foremost, SOKONI did a great job communicating pop-up details and logistics. The expectations were clear and the move-in and move-out process was very easy. The store was set up beautifully. Also, it was great to have a dedicated store manager for the pop-up. This eliminated the need for each vendor to staff the store, which can be difficult when you have other retail locations or don't live nearby. Also, the SOKONI manager truly knew about every single brand and was able to sell it to customers. There was comfort in knowing that there was someone in the store that could really sell our products and explain our brand story while we were not there, because this can sometimes be an issue at pop-ups."
