LET’S GET SOCIAL! Are you following Makasi Imports across our social media pages? It’s a really useful way of keeping up to date with the latest Makasi news and new product announcements when you might not have access to your emails. Social media pages are also useful places for seeing what other retailers and suppliers are up to and spotting the latest industry trends. Makasi on Facebook Makasi on Instagram Makasi on LinkedIn To protect our trade-only customers we never publish trade prices on social media - unlike other wholesalers who now pretty much sell to any Tom, Dick or Harry. If we get enquiries from retail customers on any of our social media pages we always refer them on to our trade customers to purchase our products from them, we never sell direct to the public. Makasi on Tiktok Makasi on YouTube Makasi on X So get on our socials, get networking and keep up to date with all the latest Makasi news. See you there!
