To fight against food insecurity, we will donate a portion of our vendor fee proceeds from our farmers market series to the local non-profit, Greater Chicago Food Depository.
City of Chicago Pop-up User License
The City of Chicago BACP requires a Pop-Up User License for pop-up user business activities i.e. anyone selling merchandise/food in the City of Chicago in a temporary location.
Our company, Local Edition, LLC, holds an active “Pop-up Host” licenses with the City of Chicago. In addition to holding our Pop-up Host licenses, we are required by the City/BACP to cover a fee for each vendor that participates.
“We are committed to providing a beautifully immersive vending experience for your followers and our guest to explore, discover, support and shop your niche products as part of the local business community. ”
MARKETING
In most industries, market saturation is the catalyst for niche and new business models. Pop-up markets have become the gateway for consumers to engage creatives and support small businesses that are otherwise nested in static locations. Parallel to retailers worldwide that overlap consumer segments, we are elated for Local Edition to join the competitive landscape of markets in Chicago.
We respect all, but echo none.
Local Edition baseline marketing includes social media, digital press and publicity. In tandem, participating vendors are encouraged to employ their marketing efforts to support themselves and increase exposure. Each vendor will receive a prep packet for marketing, product presentation and selling tips for the day of the market.
Although we will promote and facilitate a cohesive market, we make no vendor guarantee of sales or profits. Newness is personal. Furthermore, inclement weather or random acts can also impact guest attendance.
“We love local and appreciate your brilliance! ”
