Features
VendFrend handles the whole show season — planning, production, sales, and the numbers that tell you what's working.
Built for every kind of vendor
Whatever you make or sell, VendFrend adapts to your craft. Categories, supply units, expense types, and build schedules all flex to fit your products — use the built-in types or add your own with a custom "other" option. No two vendors run their business exactly the same way, and nothing here forces you to.

Holiday Makers Market
"My best show of the year. Crowds were steady both days and the organizer kept us posted on every setup change. I sold out of my mugs by Sunday noon."
Vendor-Reported Factors That Influenced This Show
Riverside Flea & Vintage Market
"Attendance was thin and my booth was placed near the back, far from the entrance. I made my booth fee back but not much more, and communication from the organizer was spotty."

Summer Solstice Festival
Event Status: Cancelled"The festival was cancelled mid-Saturday due to severe storms. The venue was beautiful and staff were kind, but there was no rain plan. The organizer offered a 50% booth-fee credit toward next year."
