Approving 100 Vendors
When you run a successful market, sifting through hundreds of applications can be daunting. Here is the optimal workflow to process them in minutes, not days.
1. Use the Category Filter
Don't review chronologically. Filter by "Food & Beverage" first to ensure you limit overlapping cuisines, then move to "Retail" and "Artisans".
2. Color-Coded Tagging
Make an initial pass and liberally tag promising vendors with the yellow "Shortlist" button. Ignore the rest for now.
3. Secondary Review
Change your table filter to only show "Shortlisted" vendors. Now you have a manageable list to scrutinize social media links and menu photos.
4. Bulk Select & Approve
Check the boxes next to your final picks and hit "Approve Selected". Popgo will automatically send out confirmation emails and invoices.
Handling Waitlists
If you have more great vendors than available booths, use the blue "Keep in View" (KIV) tag.
If an approved vendor fails to pay their invoice within 48 hours, Popgo can auto-expire their link. You can then quickly filter by KIV, approve your backup vendors, and keep the event full.
