Vendor Info & Application

The Royaboya Handmade Bazaar is a high energy, playful, vibrant online shopping event and community!

 

Exceptionally wonderful vendors sell their items through a password protected website shop to a dedicated audience who prioritizes shopping from small businesses.

 

At the same time we have sales going on the website, we also have an active community with games and prizes on Facebook and on other social media. In addition we have a specil Thursday Preview Party, which gives folks with tickets the chance to shop early, win more prizes, and get other exclusive deals.

 

We carefully curate both the vendors and the audience, and end up with an engaging, entertaining and profitable event!

 

In addition to the virtual booth space, professional graphics and promotional materials, and access to the customer group, vendors are also provided a supportive training series in a vendors-only group, where training videos walk you through the logistics of this event and give ideas and inspiration for how to promote, engage, and maintain the connections you make at this Bazaar.

What do I take into consideration for vendorship?

1. Your content: what are you selling and is it a good fit? Is there overlap with other vendors? Are you in the price range of our audience? Do you have photos that are a good representation of your products?

2. Your community: How do you present yourself on social media? Are your messages in line with supporting mom and women owned small businesses? Do you have a community over competition mindset?

3. Your connection: Are you able to be engaged during the event, providing communication, replying to comments, and being a hands-on vendor (even though it's virtual!) 

 

How do the Virtual Bazaars work?

--Spring Bazaar is April 15-17th, 2022 with a preview party on April 14th. Winter Bazaar will be the week after Thanksgiving.

​

--Bazaar shopping takes place on a password protected part of this website. Everyone is required to register ahead of time (registration for Bazaar costs nothing). Games and contests happen across our social media platforms, including a very active facebook group. In the month before the scheduled event, you will upload photos, descriptions, and prices of your products into our data management system and we will add them to the website shopping pages.

​

--Customers claim their items by writing "sold" with their email address under each photo. You will then reach out to them for payment and shipping. YOU HANDLE YOUR OWN INVOICES AND SHIPPING.

 

--During the event we make it lively and engaging with a variety of games, giveaways, live videos, and other chances for engagement. You will be able to sign up for a time to go live during the event if you'd like. Each vendor will be providing a raffle prize, an exclusive-to-this-bazaar product or price, and a few other small discounts to use as game prizes and incentives. Please reach out if you need help or more understanding about this!

​

--All of the vendors will also be asked to do as much promotion as they can! The success of the event relies on all of us!
