Finding Vendors/Exhibitors

How to find vendors/exhibitors to keep your market/event full.

This guide is to help Event and/or Market Managers find Vendors/Exhibitors for their Market/Event.

 

There are a few ways to find Vendors/Exhibitors for your next Market/Event.

One way to search is if you specifically know the vendor/exhibitor you want to contact. Simply type the name in the search bar and hit enter on your keyboard. Likewise, choose Vendors from the dropdown and hit near me to see a variety of Vendors/Exhibitors in your area. 

 

Another way to see more precise results, select Vendors from the dropdown and hit enter. Choose the distance you want the search results to include from your geo-location. Click near me to see vendors in your area. 

 

You can also search for a specific product by selecting "Shop now" from the Marketspread homepage. Enter the product you are looking for in the search bar and all related options will appear on the results page. In this example, we are searching for Candle products. 

 You can also narrow your search further by limiting the location of the vendors to only those in your area or by selecting specific product categories from the options on the left.

For another way to find Vendors click on Vendors in the left side panel of your Market Dashboard.

 

Next, click on VendorHub in the upper right corner.

 

Here you can select if you want to search for Vendors who are near your location or near the market. This is a great option for Events that travel or are spread out throughout the country. You can view each Vendor Profile by clicking the grey arrow button to the right of it. Click Invite to invite particular Vendors to your Market/Event. Clicking invite will automatically notify the chosen vendor. 

 

Continue inviting Vendors to fill up your Market/Event. Vendors can also search for your Market/Event. Depending on which Vendor Types you allow to apply, Vendors will be able to apply to your Market/Event.
