Once a quarter, the Creative Market team gets together in our San Francisco home office to hang out, have some fun, discuss ideas and projects, and plan out the next quarter. Last week was one of those weeks for us. It was great getting to hang out with the everyone (since about half of the staff is remote at this point), but the whole team agreed that somebody important was missing from the party. Who was missing you ask? YOU were!
The Creative Market Team + The Creative Market Community
Getting together as a team is awesome, but we wanted to get the Creative Market team together with the Creative Market community. Each and every member of the Creative Market team works hard to make this place the best that it can possibly be, and we’re doing that for you folks, for the entire community! So, why not chat with some of you, get to know you, and see what thoughts and ideas you have for Creative Market?
A Simple Event for a Simple Idea
Seems like a pretty simple idea right? We agree. And a simple idea like that calls for a nice simple event. Nothing flashy, no big crowds to get lost in, just the Creative Market team; a dozen or so Creative Market shoppers, shop owners, and members; and menu of delicious food and drinks.
So, we reached out to a few local Creative Market community members, ordered some dinner, and had an Open House Event right in our very own Creative Market office.
The Results
The verdict? The open house was fantastic! The feedback regarding the open house, from both the team members and the community members that were able to join us, was overwhelmingly positive. We all had so much fun just hanging out, learning more about each other, and talking about a site that we all enjoy and are invested in.
We talked to community members who had been using the site for years, as well as some who were relative newcomers. We chatted with shop owners who have made thousands of dollars on Creative Market, and shop owners who have made tens of dollars. We got to know shoppers who have just recently made their first purchases, and shoppers who have spent hundreds of dollars on Creative Market.
Everyone had so much to say about the site, that the team had to start a shared spreadsheet to make sure we keep track of all of the ideas (there were some really great ones).
Will Creative Market Have Another Open House Event?
It was pretty clear that we all enjoyed this open house. While we don’t have specific dates in mind just yet, we are interested in making this a more regular occurrence. So, if you’re in the San Francisco area, don’t be surprised if you see an invite to a Creative Market open house show up in your inbox down the road.
