Congratulations—you’ve made it to the final lesson!

Over the past few lessons, you’ve learned how to navigate your Vendor Portal, tell your story, promote your products, communicate with Market Operations, and manage your market participation with confidence.

But here’s the good news…

You don’t have to remember everything.

Whenever you have a question, need a form, want to review a policy, or simply need a little guidance, the Vendor Resources section is here to help.

Think of it as your market library—always available whenever you need it.

Let’s take a look around.

Why This Matters

Questions are a natural part of every market season.

Whether you’re a brand-new vendor or you’ve been with the market for years, there will always be times when you need information.

Instead of searching through old emails or wondering who to contact, the Vendor Resources section gives you one convenient place to find helpful guides, forms, policies, frequently asked questions, and other valuable information.

Having these resources available whenever you need them saves time, answers questions more quickly, and helps everyone stay informed.

Watch and Learn

Finding the Information You Need

In this lesson, you’ll learn where to find the Vendor Resources section and discover the many tools available to support your success throughout the market season.

Let’s Do It Together

Let’s explore the Vendor Resources section.

  1. Open your Vendor Dashboard.
  2. Select Vendor Resources.
  3. Browse the different categories available.
  4. Open one resource that interests you.
  5. Bookmark the page so it’s easy to find again whenever you need it.

Remember, you don’t need to read everything today. The goal is simply to know where to find help when you need it.

⭐ Special Note

Great businesses never stop learning.

The Vendor Resources section will continue to grow as new guides, videos, forms, and helpful information are added throughout the year.

Make it a habit to visit this section from time to time. You may discover new ideas, updated policies, seasonal reminders, or helpful tools that make your market experience even better.

Curbie’s Business Insight

The most successful vendors aren’t the ones who know everything.

They’re the ones who continue learning.

Every season brings new opportunities, new customers, and new ideas. Taking a few minutes to learn something new can improve your business, strengthen your customer relationships, and make each market season more rewarding than the last.

Curiosity is one of the best investments you can make in your business.

Action Step

Spend a few minutes exploring the Vendor Resources section.

Choose one guide, article, or resource you’d like to read, and bookmark the page so you’ll always know where to find it.
