New Feature: Event Opportunities & How to Use It To Find Events Near You

If you’re a vendor, you know the struggle. Most of the time, finding vendor events to sell at means scrolling endlessly through Facebook and social media platforms, hoping you catch an opportunity before it’s too late.

Over the past few months, we kept hearing the same struggles from vendors:

  • “I always miss events because I only see them after they’re already happening.” – Karen
  • “It’s too hard to find vendor events on Facebook before spots fill up.” – Judy
  • “There has to be a better way to hear about events in my area.” – Susan

We listened. And today, we’re excited to introduce Event Opportunities – your all-in-one place to find upcoming vendor markets and pop ups near you, without the hassle.

How Does Event Opportunities Work?

With Event Opportunities, finding and applying to vendor events is easier than ever.

Discover events in one place

Search by city, vendor type, or event category without bouncing between Facebook groups or other social media platforms. You’ll also see important details like application deadlines and what types of vendors organizers are still looking for.

Apply, track, and scale

View full event details and send the organizer a quick message to express interest—no more chasing organizers or dropping comments on Facebook posts that get buried. You can easily track all your applications and their status in one place. No more outdated spreadsheets or waiting in the dark to know if you’ve been accepted.

Scaling your applications is simple, too. Your vendor profile already includes your business description, photos, and setup, so you don’t have to re-write or re-upload every time you apply.

Create trustworthiness & avoid scams

When you apply, organizers looking for vendors can instantly review your profile, helping you stand out and making it clear you’re a legitimate vendor. This creates trust and makes it easier for organizers to choose vendors with confidence.

And the best part? It’s free to use. For vendors who want priority access to events before others, we also offer a $7/month upgrade—perfect if you don’t want to miss opportunities in your area.

Why This Matters for Vendors

Finding vendor opportunities shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. Your time is better spent preparing your booth, connecting with customers, and growing your business.

Event Opportunities takes the guesswork out of where to sell next. Instead of relying on word of mouth or scattered Facebook posts, you get a clear list of vendor events to sell at—all organized in one place.

Whether you run a food truck, craft business, or retail booth, having quick access to vendor markets and pop ups near you means you can:

  • Spend less time searching and more time selling.
  • Reach event organizers before spots fill up.
  • Build lasting connections with organizers who regularly host markets.

It’s like having a vendor events calendar at your fingertips—updated and ready whenever you need it.
