Advertise on VendorsMap

Put your brand in front of the people who run America's farmers markets, craft fairs, and festivals.

Why brands pick VendorsMap

We're smaller than the giants, and that's the point. Our audience is high-intent, hyper-niche, and doesn't exist concentrated anywhere else.

You won't get the impressions of a Meta campaign. You will get the conversion rate of putting your offer in front of the exact 2,000 people who care about it.

High-intent audience

People here are actively planning to sell, buy, or run events this season. They're not casually scrolling.

Real targeting

State, category, role (maker / organizer / shopper), interest tags. No black box.

Transparent reporting

Impressions, clicks, CTR, conversion (with your pixel). Monthly PDF. No mystery.

No bidding war

Flat monthly rate. Limited slots. We don't auction your placement to the highest bidder mid-campaign.

Founder-direct

You email James, James prices it, James runs it. No agency markup.
