Why Join Collective Crate?

Becoming a registered vendor on Collective Crate extends your presence beyond the weekend market. We help you stay connected with customers, streamline orders, and grow sustainable local revenue.

  • Easy online ordering: Customers pre-order so pickup is fast & predictable.
  • Wider exposure: Your products are discoverable by shoppers browsing all local vendors online.
  • Live market visibility: Shoppers see which vendors are active at a given market in real time.
  • Sell beyond attendance: Accept orders even on weeks you can’t set up a booth.
  • Build loyalty: Repeat customers can re‑order favorites with one click.

Impact: Local food & craft vendors who add an online pre‑order channel frequently report 20–35% higher average weekly revenue and up to 2× repeat order frequency compared to in‑person only selling.*
