Selling at Locavore

1. We work on consignment. Each vendor sets their own wholesale price. Locavore adds a small markup on top of the wholesale price to cover operating expenses for the market. If you look in a meat freezer, produce cooler, or the soap section you will find many different vendors selling similar products at a variety of prices. Feel free to look at what others are selling and then set a price based on your product’s unique selling points, your costs and what you think is a good price.
2. We pay vendors on a Net 30 payment system. You will receive a check through our bank on the last week of the month for the prior month. I.E. All of the products sold in May will be paid the last week of June.
3. Active vendors usually sell more. We do our best to stay on top of all the items in the store and contact vendors when stock is low or product needs refreshing, but we have a very small staff. Vendors that regularly stop by to check stock, see what is selling and chat with the staff about customers tend to sell more. Be a PARTICIPANT! Even just texting, emailing or calling us on a regular basis to ask about inventory and sales helps a lot. If we don’t have your products on the shelf, or they are not looking good they are not going to sell!  We are all a team.
4. Vendor demos sell product and establish new, loyal customers. We highly recommend vendor demos to build your brand.
