Your application fees and sponsorship make the Meet the Minnesota Makers “Shop Minnesota” Guide possible. Your financial contribution pays for website development and maintenance, administrative costs, marketing and promotion as well as a stipend for the Meet the Minnesota Makers Team.
Select the $20 administrative fee if you only want to be considered for the winter holiday guide. Your listing will expire when Meet the Minnesota Makers publishes its Valentine’s Day update in January 2026.
Select the $60 administrative fee to be included in the gift guide until November 2026 with the option to update your listing for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Fall 2026. All sponsorship levels include the $60 full year gift guide listing administrative fee.
The $20 winter holiday administrative fee is not refundable. The first $20 of the $60 year round application fee is also not refundable. If your business is not included in the “Shop Minnesota” Gift Guide, Meet the Minnesota Makers will refund any sponsorship payments.
You must submit payment by Monday, November 17 to claim your spot in the guide before publication.
Payment can be made via Venmo @meetthemnmakers (includes a credit card payment option) or by check to Meet the Minnesota Makers mailed to: Michelle Sharp/1589 Sherwood Ct/Eagan, MN 55122.
