On-Demand Insurance Brand Duuo Announces Partnership with One Of A Kind Show (OOAK)

TORONTO, April 30, 2020 /CNW/ - Duuo, an on-demand brand of The Co-operators, today announced its partnership with the One Of A Kind Show (OOAK). Rooted in the purpose to champion creativity, One Of A Kind produces flagship events bringing together artisans, enthusiasts and the craft-curious to share ideas, stories, and objects through craft. The partnership will see Duuo sponsoring OOAK's current "virtual spring show", while also working towards providing on-demand insurance for artisans at future OOAK shows.

When the One Of A Kind 2020 Spring Show was cancelled, the OOAK team quickly crafted a solution so that creative entrepreneurs can continue to connect and engage online shoppers. Every day until April 30, 2020, OOAK will feature artisans on their Instagram account, providing Canadians with an opportunity to shop local and support the small business community.

During the final week of this virtual show, Duuo will give three lucky OOAK Instagram followers a "shopping spree" prize to spend at the One Of A Kind 2020 Winter Show. In addition, Duuo will sponsor five $1,000 scholarships for winning vendors to apply towards their exhibit at the upcoming 2020 winter event.  

"We're excited to work with Duuo to support our exhibitors during our virtual spring show," says Janice Leung, Show Director of One Of A Kind. "We are also looking forward to building our partnership by continuing to work together in the coming months."

Launched in March 2020, Duuo Vendor Insurance provides exhibitors at shows and events with affordable, on-demand coverage that can be purchased entirely online in minutes.

"We've been working hard to develop our vendor insurance product and, as such, feel a strong connection to the local artisan community," said Robin Shufelt, Managing Director of Duuo. "We're so excited to partner with OOAK to not only sponsor their current virtual show but also provide their hard-working artisans with reliable coverage at future events."
