# How to choose vendors for your market.

Choose vendors on product quality from their photos, fit with your event and audience, variety across categories, and reliability. A juried market scores applications against set criteria; a non-juried one accepts vendors who meet basic rules, often first come, first served. Pick the one that fits your demand.

## What to look for.

- Quality and presentation, judged from product and booth photos.
- Fit with your theme and shoppers.
- Category balance across the whole market.
- Reliability: do they show up, stay and follow the rules?

## Which model fits.

- Juried: more applicants than booths, or a curated reputation to protect.
- Non-juried: community events, newer markets, flea markets.
