Frequently asked questions
Q: Who can become a vendor
A: Small Businesses, entrepreneur's and makers/artists.
Q: How can I become a vendor?
A: You would need to submit a vendor application that is for that specific event you are interested in, which you can find on our events page. Once the application is submitted we review it and if you are approved you will receive a vendor approval email with details on how to submit the vendor fee. Once the vendor fee is processed you will receive a confirmation email. If you were not approved you will receive an email stating the reason why you weren't approved. Please allow 48-72 business hours to receive approval or confirmation emails.
Q: Are there any vendor categories not allowed to participate in the event?
A: Since our markets are family friendly we are unable to support or showcase any items that promote: firearms, any type of smoking or drug paraphernalia, any adult themed clothing or items. While we love supporting all small businesses we do not allow MLM (Multi Level Marketing), or direct sales of MLM. Medical CBD items are allowed. This list is not all inclusive, thank you.
Q: Why wouldn't I be accepted?
A: We only approve a limited numbers of vendors in the same category per market to have a variety of items and also to make it fair for the vendors that have already applied in that category. Another reason would be that your business falls in the category that we don't allow to participate. Last but not least our market has maybe reached its capacity.
Q: Do you guys provide tents, tables, or chairs?
A: As most of our markets are in outdoor locations we are unable to provide any of the items listed above. There is times that we do have markets at indoor venues that do provide tables and chairs but its not 100% guaranteed. If tables or chairs will be provided that will be stated in the vendor application.
Q: What all should I bring to set up my vendor booth?
A: If the market is outdoors you will need to bring your own 10x10 tent (preferably white)- although tents are not mandatory depending on the market. If the market is indoors or you have selected an indoor vendor spot a tent won't be needed. 25lb weights for your tents, and anything else you need to set up your booth ex: tables, racks, chairs and signs. If the market is in the evening or night we advise to bring battery operated lighting.
Q: Will I have access to electricity/outlets?
A: We can't fully guarantee access to electricity for all vendors. We mainly leave that access to the food/drink vendors, music, or photobooths. If you do need access to an outlet you will need to notify us in your vendor application and we will try our best to accommodate that for you but its not guaranteed. We do advise to all vendors that need electricity to bring their own long extension cords or their own generator.
Q: Are the markets indoor or outdoor?
A: Both, we have partnered with a variety of locations that offer indoor and outdoor. It depends on the market, the vendor application will state if the market will be all outdoor or all indoor or have both options available indoor/outdoor.
Q: Whats the cancellation/Refund policy?
A: Unfortunately were not able to issue any refunds as you all know it takes a lot of time planning these events and your vendor fee is used towards making sure the event is a success for everyone.
Q: What if it rains or weather is bad?
A: We will always hope to plan our markets during good weather season but we understand that weather can be unpredictable in TX. Market will be executed rain or shine. However if weather happens to be severe ex: Lightning, very high winds or tornado we will reschedule market for another day and give you two date options where you can use your vendor fee towards.
Q: When will more details (including load-in/out) and day-of layouts be sent out?
A: Once your vendor fee has been processed 100%, you will receive an email confirmation that includes the final details for the market that will include : Parking, Loading time, Breakdown time, etc. Set up time is usually 1hr before the market and breakdown is 1hr after market is over. Please be patient with us, as we are coordinating several multi-vendor events at once.
Q: Can I share a booth with a maker-friend?
A: Of course but only as long as both products match or go with each other.
Q: How can I be notified of new events?
A: You may subscribe with your email below to stay updated, follow us on our social media below or check our Events Page.
Q: Are vendor spots assigned?
A: Yes, once you arrive you will check in with one of our members that will show you to your spot.
