The Reality
Here's the problem as we see it…
How it works
Four steps that replace the scattered spreadsheet-and-screenshot workflow you're using now.
Browse verified markets, fairs, and pop-ups filtered by your category, radius, and dates. No more scrolling Facebook groups at midnight.
Build a shortlist, compare booth fees and foot traffic, and get reminded before application windows close.
Never miss an application window again. Track deadlines, get alerted before they close, and apply on time — every time.
Get AI-powered feedback on your booth setup, leave and read honest reviews from other vendors, and build a reputation that gets you into better events over time.
Tools
Rate My Booth
Snap a photo of your booth setup. Our AI analyzes your layout, product display, lighting, and brand consistency — then scores you and gives actionable suggestions to improve before your next show.
Pricing-to-Profit Calculator
Enter your supplies, labor, overhead, and event fees. Vendor Buddy calculates your true cost per unit, wholesale and retail targets, your sweet-spot price, and exactly how many units you need to sell to break even at each event.
Everything you need
Beyond discovery, Vendor Buddy gives you the tools to track, apply, review, and grow — all in one place.
Verified events filtered by category, radius, and dates — not crowd-dumped listings.
Bookmark events, compare fees and foot traffic, and decide which ones are worth it.
Never miss an application window again. Get notified before deadlines close.
Honest reviews from vendors who've actually set up at the event.
Auto-Discover scans for new events matching your profile — powered by Perplexity Sonar.
Free setup, packing, and day-of checklist for every authenticated vendor.
Message event hosts directly and keep all your event comms in one thread.
Pro and VIP tools to find local businesses and turn event traffic into repeat customers.

Is the cost reasonable for the expected turnout?
How much time do you have to decide and apply?
Estimated attendees and event capacity.
Is your category saturated or underserved at this event?
What did vendors who've been there actually say?
Is this event worth returning to next season?

Vendors who stopped guessing
“I used to spend three hours a week scrolling Facebook groups. Now I open Vendor Buddy, save five events, and I'm done in ten minutes.”
“The deadline alerts alone are worth it. I've stopped missing application windows for the markets I actually want.”
“Being able to read what other vendors thought of an event before I pay the booth fee? That's the feature I didn't know I needed.”
