Hear From Our Partners

“We’ve worked with Handmade Arcade since way back, and it's one of those situations where a rising tide lifts all boats. We have always loved the idea of businesses that truly mutually support each other, and the partnership between HA x CWP is absolutely that.”

— Dan Rugh, CommonWealth Press

“Handmade Arcade continues to bring in a very large audience where, even in my category where there are so many other choices, I continue to do well. I believe being a sponsor helps me with the additional marketing I need to get my brand in front of more eyes prior to the market.”

— Anna Brito, Wren + Rita
