After hosting craft markets over the years, I've realised something.
The vendors who stand out aren't always the ones with the busiest booth or the biggest display.
👉🏼They're the ones who make the day easier for everyone around them.
I notice the vendor who replies to emails instead of making me chase them. I notice the one who arrives prepared, is patient during setup and treats volunteers with kindness. I notice the vendor who solves little problems on their own instead of creating bigger ones.❤️
I also notice the vendors who encourage others, welcome the new person beside them and understand that we're all working towards the same goal: creating a great market for shoppers.
⭐Those things matter.⭐
Every host notices different things, but I can tell you this. Professionalism isn't just about what your booth looks like. It's about how you show up, how you communicate and how you treat the people around you.
So I'd love to hear from both sides.
If you're a vendor, what's one thing you hope a host notices about you?
If you're a host, what's one thing vendors do that always leaves a great impression?
