New Vendys - Read This!

🟠 Your Shop Can't Be New or Inactive. The Vendy Blendy isn't a place to make a few bucks off the backs of shops that worked really hard to build their audiences. You're bringing your audience to the Vendy Blendy - that's what makes it fair to the other Vendys. So if you're new - it's a no (no exceptions), but 2027 VB is your year for sure!

🟠 You Must Be Actively Marketing. The Vendy Blendy is a part of your marketing strategy - it can't be your only strategy either. We want you to have your audience, then bring that audience to the Vendy Blendy. That's the only way the event is successful. Yes - we'll market to our audience for sure! But we need it to be a team effort from all the Vendys to work. 

🟠 Your Shop Cannot be 100% AI. I'm a huge fan of AI helping shops create, but 100% vibe-coded shops are popping up everywhere - and they don't have a place at the Vendy Blendy. If some of your content or website is AI-coded, cool! Smart business, in my humble opinion. But if 100% of your site, products, copy, etc. is AI - this won't be a good fit. Not that you're a bad person or a bad shop, but for the health of the event, we gotta keep it real (literally) lol.

Sweet - to confirm we're on the same page...

Just agree to these lists by checking them all off. I want to make sure you are 100% aware of how this all works - and if we gotta reject your application, I promise you it's not because we don't like you or your shop - we just gotta run a clean, drama-free ship when it comes to this many moving parts.

So - please - if you don't qualify to vendy, don't sign up 😣 I hate having to reject people, but if I must, I must.

Let's Hear About Your Shop and Sale!

We require Vendys to have a fully launched e-commerce website where transactions happen online, immediately, and buyers receive instant digital receipts (so they're not left wondering what they just paid for). Your discount code will need to be 25% off (or more if you really wanna get people spendy - just under half of last year's Vendys offered more than the minimum). 

This is the code you should use for the discount this year: "26vendy"

Which we'd highly encourage you to use too - so much so that I'll probably email you before the event to let you know it's in your best interest to match the other shops.

(Remember - the less people have to think while they shop, the more they spend. Hunting down different discount codes is a sales killer.)

Now Let's Make It Marketing!

The more "marketing" you use here, the better your conversions. We use these answers to promote your shop. And if we know SCM, we know that marketing moves product! Use this section to really sell your users on what you bring to the bakin' table. This information will be posted publicly in your group announcement posts. Don's make me have to do your marketing for ya - be passionate about what you sell!

Shoppin' and Shippin'

Remembering to do this ahead of time this year - let's get some shipping details. We have folks from all over the world shopping, so they want to make a game plan ahead of time for who will ship to them. The pre-set options are built from vendors we've had in prior Vendys.

Heads up - last year, quite a few of you made changes late in the game here - try to nail it down before you hit submit.

The Day of the Event - 3 Posts

On Nov 20, I'll let you into the private group early. You'll be tagged as Group Experts; we'll have some Q&As, and I'll make some announcements to help ya out.

On Nov 21, we'll allow pages to join for 24 hours. After 24 hours, this will be disabled. If you've not joined as your page, you'll post as your personal profile.

On Nov 24, I'll let your assistants into the group - they will not make posts during the event, but can comment on your posts to help manage questions.

On Nov 25, I'll host a Vendy-only Q&A Live in the Vendy group.

On Nov 27 at 12:01 AM EST, we'll open the gates for the closed Facebook Group, allowing people to access your discount codes for the next 24 hours.

On that date, you'll be able to make 3 posts.

• 1 Live or Video to demonstrate your product or sell your services
• 2 Feed Posts to promote your product further
• [Optional] 1 Door Prize Post + 1 Door Prize Winner Post
• * If you were one of the 5 to win a Vendy award last year, you'll get 1 additional post (I'll reach out to these folks to remind ya!)

However and whenever you wanna post those posts within the 24 hours is up to you! Once you've completed your 3 posts (or 5 if you do a door prize), you'll no longer have access to making new posts, but you can still reply to comments.

On Nov 27 at 11:59 PM EST that night, the entire group will be deleted, the posts deleted, and any remnants of the event will be forever gone. Holy FOMO, right?!

On Dec 4, this is the final day your door prize winner has to claim their prize. If they don't reach out, you're exempt from honoring the door prize.

Additional Post Option - Door Prize Post!

You'll get the three posts on Nov 27, but there's a way to get a 4th and 5th post and more market share! You can make 2 additional posts if you'd like to offer a door prize.

Door prizes are HUGE at the Vendy Blendy - they really create a lot of hype during the event. Heads up - 90% of Vendors participated in Door Prizes.

Here's some things to note:

• Door prizes cannot require a purchase to enter.
• Door prizes must be chosen by 10:00 PM EST.
• Door prize entries can require someone to sign up for an email list, follow an Instagram page, or comment to win! 
• Door prize posts cannot use the last comment standing game. 
• Door prize announcement posts must use a supplied graphic (I'll get ya this closer to the event).
• The Big Door Prizes purchased with your entry fee are posted at designated times throughout the day to keep people returning.

If you're wondering if you should offer a door prize = the answer is yes. In fact, most shops that don't initially end up asking if they can add a door prize.

Lemme Grab Just a Little More Info

This information WILL be public. I wanna be able to tag your shop on socials - so lemme grab a few more links from you. If you're missing an Instagram profile or a Facebook page - take this from a marketing professional - you're paying us to market for you - make them marketing dollars work harder by creating profiles we can tag!

It's another "freely" great way to reach our audience. BUT IF YOU SAY YES, YOU MUST SEND THE PRODUCT by Nov 1 (Sunday) Do not sign up saying you'll send it and then forget to send it. I give her a list of packages to expect - don't flake here. It makes ya look bad and messes up our paperwork.
