Belhaven outdoor market highlights local artisans
SUMMARY: A local district in Jackson, Mississippi allows small business owners to sell their handmade products at a monthly outdoor market. The market gives these business owners a chance to showcase their work and gain exposure, which is difficult for small businesses with limited marketing budgets. The Belhaven neighborhood regularly hosts small markets and festivals that attract artisans of all kinds. Despite the hot weather, business owners were still able to connect with customers at the market. One business owner, Rachel Cox, turned her hobby into a business after her children encouraged her to sell her hand-crafted creations.
