Vendor FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions:
We market our events on Facebook, Nextdoor, Instagram, direct mail, through city programs, word of mouth and newsletters. We do not have an exact number but work our hardest to fill up our markets.
Offering coupons to attendees can help along with giveaways to attract the attention of shoppers. Make sure to bring your hustle and flow at each event.
Network with other small businesses at the event and with customers. Growth is inevitable with building that community and connections.
A city business license helps make your business legitimate. At least a DBA sole proprietorship or which ever entity preference. Having contracts with your clients/consumers along with insurance is a recommended and valuable way to protect yourself.
For food or beverages you are required to have your cottage food permit license and/or health permits to obtain your Temporary Food Facility (TFF) permit. This can be retrieved at the OC Health Department.
Reseller permits are high recommended at the businesses expense.
We will have maps and layouts 2 days prior to our events. We run multiple events for vendors and we appreciate your patience.
2 hours prior to the event start time.
“Failure to prepare, is preparing to fail”
30 minutes-1 hour after the event is when loading out takes place. Making sure you clean up your area is very vital for our team as we are all guests.
We highly recommend if you need electricity to buy power generators on Amazon listed in our resource items. Make sure to bring your own extension cords as well.
We usually post the first 20 vendors that pay their fee. However, we cannot post everyone. Send us a DM for a feature but again there are no guarantees that we can post your business. We will try our best to feature you me business at our next event though. We will work to at least post our vendors on our stories eventually.
These are our ways to secure your space for our events.
