In the mutual interest of helping emerging entrepreneurs, Public Marketspace is teaming up with Square™ to give away 6 of these incredible new credit card readers + an iPad to facilitate point of sale transactions.

People are buying with plastic cards over cash. The Square creates an opportunity to process credit card payments on mobile devices everywhere, and that is good for small businesses anywhere!  Video

This contest has been rescheduled for 2011.  Random drawings will be held weekly.  A total of 6 prizes will be given away—one per week for 6 weeks.  Prize winners will be announced every Friday.  Official rules will be posted on our website, and registered PM Vendors can increase their odds of winning by:

• Becoming a Fan of PublicMarketspace.com on Facebook
• Following @marketspacenews on Twitter

All registered PM Vendors are eligible to win, but all PM Vendors must be a small business owner.  By registering on Public Marketspace, Vendors will be eligible for all 6 prize drawings.  Join Today

What would our online public market be without our handmade Vendors?

The artists, designers and craft merchants that gift us with their unique talents are the cornerstone of community events and block parties. And some go on road tours all summer long, strategically hitting a variety of festivals along the interstate.

We love Etsy. Because they are as dedicated to handmade products as we are, and that is why we proudly support our Vendors linking to their other stores—including other websites we admire.

Public Marketspace will do whatever we can to help our Vendors succeed. Because it takes a village to raise a small business on the World Wide Web, and we think our established entrepreneurs deserve the same variety of locations to sell their products online.

Something to do: Portland Saturday Market | Emery Bay Public Market

Public Marketspace is a social media + search + ecommerce platform for entrepreneurs. An online public market where global shops local.

We officially went LIVE with PublicMarketspace.com on June 21^st, and it seems fitting that the first day of summer and longest day of the year will be our anniversary.

While the PM Team is excited about where we are today, we will always be a work in progress tomorrow. Additional functionality and every new feature we are developing will be implemented up to our LAUNCH date in September (date: TBD).

A special thank you to our newest Members and Vendors. With your support, we look forward to creating a rewarding experience and providing you something fun to do online… a space to Shop + Share + Socialize.

Our story begins now!
