Welcome to Module 4!

One of the easiest ways to support a successful market is simply keeping everyone informed.

Life happens. Sometimes you’ll need to arrive late, leave early, send a representative, or miss a market altogether. When that happens, letting Market Operations know as soon as possible helps everyone prepare and keeps the market running smoothly.

Your Attendance tool makes communicating those changes quick and easy.

Let’s see how it works!

Why This Matters

Every vendor plays an important role in creating a great market experience.

When Market Operations knows who will be attending, they can assign spaces, answer customer questions, prepare market maps, and respond to unexpected changes more effectively.

Reporting your attendance isn’t just about your booth—it’s about helping the entire market operate smoothly for vendors, volunteers, staff, and customers.

Good communication helps everyone succeed.

Let’s Do It Together

🟢 Practice This Lesson

Let’s report your attendance.

1. Open your Vendor Dashboard.
2. Select Attendance.
3. Choose the appropriate attendance option.
4. Add any helpful information if requested.
5. Submit your attendance update.

That’s all there is to it!

⭐ Special Note

Let us know as soon as your plans change.

The earlier Market Operations knows about an absence or schedule change, the more options we have to adjust vendor placement, notify staff, and keep the market running smoothly.

Even if you’re not completely certain, early communication is always appreciated.

Curbie’s Business Insight

Reliable communication builds trust.

Customers count on the market to be well organized, and vendors count on one another to create a full, exciting shopping experience.

When everyone communicates promptly, it helps Market Operations make informed decisions and creates a better experience for the entire market community.

Being dependable isn’t just good teamwork—it’s part of building a strong reputation for your business.
