The Following was in the Providence Business News:
"Keith and Jennifer Wahl of Made From Rhode Island, an online store based in South Kingstown, do between 75% and 88% of their sales around Christmastime, Keith Wahl said.
The store sells a variety of gifts and other products made by Rhode Island artisans and manufacturers. Its participation in the market for the past two years has netted a number of regular customers. Without a brick-and-mortar site, Made From Rhode Island didn’t have a large presence in the local market until the Wahls set up shop at the pop-up.
“We have customers who wait for us to go there and they do all of their Christmas shopping in one shot,” Keith Wahl said. “This gives us a local exposure point. For us, it also gives us a means of exposing our vendors. Most of our vendors are so busy creating their own thing, they don’t necessarily have marketing opportunities.”
