Two-Step Vendor Registration Process

Campaign Overview Desktop Campaign Overview Mobile

See how the Town of Granite Falls structured their two-step vendor registration process:

1. Broadcast Vendor Opportunity

The community launched a public vendor registration campaign to announce the opportunity and invite vendors to apply. This page served as the central place where vendors could learn about the event, review expectations, and submit their applications.

  • Listed vendor participation options (Food Trucks, Artisan Booths, Retail Vendors, etc.)
  • Shared event overview, schedule, and audience details
  • Provided vendor guidelines and participation requirements
  • Included deadlines and instructions for submitting applications

2. Use Custom Forms to Collect Vendor Applications

Custom forms allowed the organizers to gather all required information during the application process, helping them properly review vendors before approval.

  • Business and contact information
  • Vendor category or booth type
  • Required permits, licenses, or certificates
  • Logos or marketing materials for promotion
  • Agreement signatures confirming event guidelines

3. Customized the Application Follow-Up with Next Steps

After vendors submitted their application, they received an automatic follow-up message explaining what would happen next and how the approval process worked.

  • Applications would be reviewed by event organizers
  • Vendors would be notified if approved
  • Approved vendors would receive a private payment link
  • Additional event details would be shared after approval

4. Used the Campaign Activity Log to Review and Approve Vendors

Organizers reviewed vendor submissions directly from the campaign activity log, allowing them to track applications and manage approvals in one place.

  • Review application submissions and uploaded documents
  • Leave internal approval notes within the activity details
  • Track submission dates and vendor information
  • Export form submission data if needed

5. Sent an Approval Email with the Private Payment Link

Once vendors were approved, organizers sent a quick email letting them know they were accepted and providing the link to complete their vendor registration.

  • Confirmation that their application was approved
  • Event reminders and key participation details
  • Private payment link to secure their spot
  • Payment deadline to finalize registration

6. Used Private Share Link for Approved Vendor Payments

Approved vendors were directed to a private campaign page where they could complete payment and finalize their participation without repeating their application information.

  • Only accessible to vendors with the private link
  • Simple payment to confirm participation
  • No need to resubmit application details
  • Easy for organizers to track confirmed vendors
