Seattle Made Digital Passport - Vendor Signup
Sign up to be a participating vendor on our Seattle Made Digital Passport celebrating awesome products made right here in Seattle.
The Seattle Made Passport will highlight only Seattle Made member businesses. As long as you are a Seattle Made member business and are open to the public with a retail location -or- factory tours, distillery tours, tastings, workshops, or classes, etc., in some capacity, you are eligible for this no-cost campaign.
This new, FREE digital passport allows users to check in to local maker retail spaces, tours, events, and workshops in any Seattle neighborhood. Users earn points that can be redeemed for locally made rewards. We’re gamifying exploring what’s made locally!
The Seattle Made passport also provides the option to offer a discount to passport users but this is NOT A REQUIREMENT to be listed with a profile on the passport. If you do decide to offer a discount, we suggest a 15-25% discount to incentivize patrons to purchase. This can be used by you to track those guests who are referred by the passport – they will simply show you the offer on your profile after they’ve checked in to your location.
