• Rotate the host vendor to showcase different booths and products.

2. Private Vendor Group Chat or Forum

• Use ????? to facilitate daily communication, ask questions, or share opportunities.

• A space for new vendors to get help and tips from seasoned members.

3. Collaborative Events

• Partner up for mini-events like “Member Spotlight Days,” product demos, or seasonal booths.

• Organize collective promotions (e.g., "buy from any 3 vendors and get a gift").

4. Mentorship Pairing

• Match newer members with experienced ones for onboarding and growth support.

5. Member Wall or Bulletin Board

• Post upcoming member promotions, service referrals, or collaboration ideas.
