add value

Trend reports and business experts have indicated that customer retention in 2022 will be one of the most important methods of maintaining your business in the long term.

Work with DBP to offer more value to your stallholders, without having to adjust your own goals and routines.

Services for markets

After the last years of event cancellations and difficulty with refunds, risk averse maker businesses will be choosing events they participate in very carefully.

We speak with makers daily, and they have told us they are looking to participate in markets with added value, robust business practices, and Covid safety messaging.

The DBP partnership

D’Alton Baker Productions is a partnership between Angela D’Alton and Renée Baker.

All projects benefit from the experience of Angela and Renée.

“We are interested in providing the services to ensure this important segment of the Australian artistic community survives the challenges of the last few years and beyond”

– Angela D’Alton

Why work with DBP?

We started offering custom business support specifically to market managers after hearing repeatedly a goal that remained unfulfilled. “I want to offer more to my stallholders”.

We love working with event businesses and both of us have 15 years of experience within the maker community of Australia.

Working with hundreds of makers since launching DBP in 2016, we know their pain points intimately. We know that makers look to events and markets for support in their small business efforts.

We have worked for the Finders Keepers markets and are uniquely positioned to understand the journey of stallholders from beginning to end, from both sides of the coin. Our market journey began via Leeloo, a partner of Finders Keepers since they launched the large market in Carriageworks Sydney. Since then we’ve participated in a variety of market events as stallholders and managers.

Our new membership based business Make Good Things Happen provides the maker community of Australia with the educational resources and connection with other makers. Whether they’re artists, designers or crafters, we have an inclusive, accessible platform that welcomes members of the community at any age and any stage.

Get in touch with us today and we’ll start the ball rolling with a meeting. We’ll find out what your goals are, your brand values, your specific needs and either craft a package just for you or simply have a chat about how we can help you.

What if I need something written that isn’t in the list?

We can help with almost all areas of your business (excluding accounting and legal advice, we’re across most of the other stuff).

Can you make me a custom package?

We most certainly can. We can discuss packaging something up that you’re looking for or we can charge you by the hour for flexibility with your cash flow.

The success and longevity of the maker community is our number one goal in business. We offer affordable packages as well as partnership opportunities and an affiliate program. Get in touch.

Why should I choose you instead of someone else?

Nobody has the real world experience that combines markets, online stores, stallholder needs and the maker community better than we do.
