Description
There are so many reasons moms make the best kind of entrepreneur, but one of our favorites is because they want it more than most. Moms (and women in general) have been fighting to be taken seriously and treated equally in the workplace for decades. According to Forbes, about 30% of businesses in the U.S. are owned by women — only 2% break $1 million in revenue. This year, The Mom Economy wants to change that.
Enter, The Mom Economy x Shopify: Mothers Mercado 2019. This one-day-only experience will showcase a roster of incredible mother-owned brands. There is a little something for everyone.
Guests will be greeted with a passport and urged to explore SHOWFIELDS and hit all the brand experiences and kid-friendly activities. Shopping categories will range from decor to womenswear to wellness.
In addition to scoring unique mother-run gifts, you’ll also be supporting female mother owned business owners, with every purchase. 20% of all the profits will go to The Mom Economy (501c3) to provide more opportunities for mothers to scale their business practices.

About the organizer
The Mom Economy (TME) is a 501c3 non-for-profit organization responsible for gathering the collective impact of individuals, communities, and businesses all coming together for a common purpose—to create a sustainable workforce for moms to work well. Bridging the gap between Corporate America and the Motherhood workforce is our main mission. We provide opportunities for both organizations to thrive and mothers to contribute to the overall vision of how we rewrite the narrative on working mothers.
Our Vision is to see the economy grow as a result of more moms working well. We are establishing an ecosystem of tangible programs - on and offline - that directly support mothers. Where moms are diversifying the marketplace by contributing to the design and development of new products and services for a digital age. We can redefine what it means to be a working mom, offering purpose that becomes the foundation of furthering growth where it matters most.
