Become A Vendor

To give perspective, these are the challenges that market managers face in recruiting vendors: 

• A farmers' market must consistently assess a host of factors to determine whether it is necessary to recruit new vendors. For example, if the market lacks a certain product that customers want, it might want to recruit more vendors. 

• Alternatively, a market may decide to cease vendor recruitment or even make vendor membership requirements stricter if it determines that such efforts will ultimately help build the success of current vendors and the overall market.  

• A market may simultaneously try to retain and recruit new vendors for different reasons. Any decision a farmers market makes should align with its goals, overall strategy, or plan. Decisions to try out new strategies to recruit vendors or retain current vendors are no different.
