Our Wednesday Eastgate Vendors Market Update:
As many have let me know the Scammers are trying to get in the Group and steal people's information! There is ONLY one person who handles ALL Applications and ALL Payments. I was hoping the website would be live today but it looks like unfortunately it will take a couple more days. We are tweaking the application aspect to be real time and fillable on the site with a calendar to book your dates. Attached in this post will be the updated application and Vendor Layout along with a Secured Venmo Link to make your Weekly Payments!
You will see we modified some areas on pricing and eliminated some areas. We have added a Third level of vendor, the Basic vendor, for $30 a day or $50 for the weekend, to give ALL a chance to be part of the Market! The Insurance Requirement will still be $5 a day or $10 a day for a Food Truck or Food Booth. We had a Vendor ask where does all the money go too?
First off for being in business for ourselves over 40 years if you don't have everything covered with insurance you will lose everything just that quick! The bigger you get the more people will try to ding you for the craziest things! To my surprise even with no claims the event insurance to make sure every Vendor is covered with 2 Million dollar coverage is $6900 for the season. As we saw this maybe an issue for some Vendors we made the commitment to have the policy
So that ALL Vendors had the opportunity to be part of this Great Market! We could go on with many other expenses but this is what we wanted to do for our Community, Our Vendors and Guests!
As I have had several Vendors reach out that don't mind having competition in the same space, which made us very happy to see the team work between the Vendors, we will monitor the amount of same style Vendors.They knew that they each had their own unique spin and could drive their own sales! Our commitment will always be listening to the Vendors to make it the Best for the Vendors and Guests!
As we continue to grow the attendance of guests we are always interested in different ways to create excitement for new ideas to make the Market more exciting each week. We had one Great Vendor today brought to the table some unique ideas to drive traffic
As always we are grateful to be the Stewards of The Eastgate Vendors Outdoor Market and Food Trucks at Eastgate Mall and will always appreciate the kind words, support and any suggestions or comments as each week we are gaining more traction to make those the Best Market on the Eastside!
