  • Themed or Mainstream Events?
    Jan 1 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    In this episode of Festival Vendor, we explore the vibrant realm of themed events like renaissance fairs versus the broader appeal of mainstream festivals. Themed events offer a unique niche market experience, immersing attendees in historical or fantastical worlds that resonate deeply with enthusiasts of all ages. On the other hand, mainstream events attract a diverse audience of families, tourists, and locals, presenting vendors with a broader customer base and more flexibility in product offerings. Whether you're drawn to the authenticity and community of themed festivals or the expansive reach of mainstream events, understanding these dynamics is crucial for maximizing your vending success. Tune in to gain valuable insights into choosing the right events for your business strategy!

  • Local or Travel?
    Nov 19 2023

    Send us a Text Message.

    Hey there, today on "Festival Vendor," we delve into a crucial decision every vendor faces: whether to participate in local events or venture into events that require travel. Participating in local events offers reduced costs and builds a strong customer base, fostering local connections and collaborative opportunities with neighboring vendors. On the other hand, events requiring travel provide exposure to new markets and diverse demographics, potentially increasing brand recognition and sales opportunities. Ultimately, balancing between local convenience and the broader reach of travel depends on your business goals and readiness to explore new horizons in festival vending.
