Why vendors switch
ZAPP lists the shows that take entries on ZAPP, and it is built for art fairs and festivals. Vendorbound lists ZAPP shows beside farmers markets, holiday markets, craft fairs, and festivals that take applications anywhere else, and opens the ZAPP application when a show takes entries there.
Every ZAPP plan for shows has a one-time setup fee, plus licensing fees, a fee for each application, or both. Organizers can take applications on Vendorbound for free. They build the form, review every application in one inbox, and approve, waitlist, or decline. Every event on Vendorbound reaches the vendors browsing the whole map, not only the ones who already know it. Find your organization to start.
ZAPP stops at the application. Vendorbound also runs your own website and shop, a Facebook and Instagram post for every show, your Square, Shopify and Etsy sales matched to each event, your email list and your books in QuickBooks.
More than a list of events
The other sites stop at the listing. Vendorbound runs everything after it too, plus email campaigns and books that sync to QuickBooks.
