Monday Night (IG) Market
With lockdowns in full effect and #stayhome life as the norm, Lawless Vintage & Rylea Coyote Vintage created the Monday Night Market as a means of sharing ‘new’ vintage weekly and connecting with the community.
Over the span of a few short months, this virtual market has expanded to include over 20 Edmonton-local sellers, artists and makers, plus vendors across Alberta and BC.
Tune in every Monday via Instagram from 6-8pm to shop a variety of vintage clothing, accessories, handmade goods, artwork & more!

GET INVOLVED! VENDOR FAQ
We are so excited to watch this market grow. Here’s a few details to help you get started!
HOW DO I BECOME A MONDAY NIGHT MARKET VENDOR?
Send us a DM, email or submit through the contact form below and we’ll add you to the roster. It’s that simple.WHO CAN JOIN?
This is literally for all small businesses and independent sellers/artists. The majority of our vendors are vintage/thrift sellers, but we are open and welcoming to everyone! If you think your products/services/creations would be a good fit in this market-style sale, we want you!HOW DO I SELL THROUGH INSTAGRAM/MONDAY NIGHT MARKET?
Market vendors collectively post through their own pages/stories every Monday night from 6-8pm MST. Vendors are encouraged to promote the event leading up in whatever way works best with their audience! We will supply graphics to use each week, but it’s not mandatory to use our stuff. We want this to be a hub of everyone’s creativity and reflect your own brand and style.
Once you are confirmed as a vendor, we will add you to our weekly sellers chat - a place to connect with the small biz community, ask questions and hype each other up!
Vendors are encouraged to share posts from others’ stories to boost everyones’ traffic and cross-promote into our individual communities.HOW DO I ACCEPT PAYMENTS AND DELIVER THE GOODS?
Each individual vendor will have their own system set up for taking payments, pick-ups/delivery/shipping. We suggest you outline these details in a post prior to market time so you can focus on the hustle once 6pm hits.
Most vendors accept e-transfer and have a curbside pick-up and/or delivery system in place. If you have a website or Etsy shop, you may choose to make your sales directly through that platform.HOW MANY ITEMS SHOULD I POST? SHOULD I AIM FOR ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR?
We suggest having 10-20 pieces ready to go (photographed, priced, measured, garment details, etc).
Your inventory is up to you! You can ‘theme’ your night, choose special/rare pieces, sale items, etc.POST-MARKET BEST PRACTICES
As this is a story sale, items will only be live on your story for 24 hours. We suggest creating a highlight reel that folks can shop. You may choose to organize this by category, date or price. For examples of highlight reels, check out our Instagram pages!
We post using the hashtag #mondaynightmarketYEG. This is the most effective in feed posts, so it’s a good idea to post something to your feed before, during or after the market (or all 3!)
As the market expands to other communities, use the hashtag that reflects your area: #mondaynightmarketYYC, #mondaynightmarketYVR etc.IF I JOIN, DO I NEED TO DO THIS EVERY WEEK?
Absolutely not! We’ll be there every week and you can join in whenever it works for you. We ask that you confirm by 3pm on the Sunday prior to the event so we can add you to the roster and let our audiences know you’re coming!
