Washington – The National Community Reinvestment Coalition’s Washington, DC Women’s Business Center (DC WBC) will hold its Second Annual “Shop, Sip and Celebrate” Holiday Bazaar this year on Small Business Saturday, November 28, 2015. The DC WBC Holiday Bazaar is a pop-up marketplace to showcase local women-owned small businesses, many of which are DC WBC clients. It gives women entrepreneurs a place to market their products and gain exposure to new clients. Last year’s inaugural Bazaar hosted 23 vendors and was attended by over 250 participants. This year’s event will host 35 vendors.
“Our clients are committed to the dedication and hard work it takes to build successful businesses,” said Candice Miles, Director of NCRC’s DC WBC. “The Holiday Bazaar is a wonderful opportunity for them to reach out to new customers. We are extremely excited to expand our event and have more small businesses and more participants to serve this year.”
“NCRC is proud to support the efforts of local, women entrepreneurs through activities like the Holiday Bazaar, and through the work of our DC Women’s Business Center,” said NCRC’s President and CEO John Taylor. “Small businesses are an essential element for the growth and long-term success of our nation’s economy. These entrepreneurs bring employment and economic vibrancy to the community.”
In addition to the Bazaar, the DC WBC holds an annual “Holiday Hustle” small business training course to help women entrepreneurs prepare for the holiday season through inventory management, pricing for a profit, marketing, sales strategies, and visual marketing. Both events are part of the DC WBC’s mission to serve women in the Washington, DC area by providing assistance with starting and growing a successful business.
