Main Street Market LWR Vendor Qualification Policy
To maintain the integrity and purpose of Main Street Market as a product-based vendor market, all participating vendors must meet the following criteria:
1. Sales Requirement
Vendors must derive at least 80% of their gross profits from the sale of physical products and/or goods. This includes items that are handmade, locally produced, or retail merchandise directly available for purchase at the market.
2. Service-Based Businesses
Businesses whose primary purpose is to promote a service rather than sell products (e.g., real estate, fitness, insurance, or professional services) do not qualify as vendors. These businesses are welcome to participate through our Market Sponsorship Program, which provides marketing and promotional opportunities tailored to service-based companies.
3. Verification
Vendors may be asked to provide product lists, price ranges, or sales documentation to verify that their primary revenue aligns with the market’s product-based requirement.
4. Non-Compliance
Failure to meet the 80% product sales requirement may result in application denial or reclassification as a sponsorship participant.
This policy ensures that Main Street Market LWR remains a vibrant, shopping-focused experience for our community, supporting the artisans, creators, and small business owners who make our events special.
