What It’s Like to Be a Vendor at Hodgepodge
Vendors at Hodgepodge rent individual booth or display spaces within the shop. Each vendor maintains their own inventory and brand style, while benefiting from a shared retail space designed to attract and inspire customers.
We take care of:
Advertising and marketing
In-store checkout
Customer service
Point-of-sale tracking
A welcoming shopping experience
This allows vendors to focus on creating, sourcing, and creating great products without the overhead of operating a full retail store.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re excited to connect with vendors who offer:
Handmade goods or artisan products
Boutique-style items
Vintage or interesting resale pieces
Small brand or locally made products
We value originality, quality, and items that complement the overall look and feel of Hodgepodge. Our goal is to maintain a balanced mix of products so customers always find something new and unexpected.
Booths & Displays
Vendors rent individual booth or display spaces within the shop. Booth sizes and display options vary and are assigned based on availability, product type, and overall fit with the store.
Inventory is rotated regularly, keeping the shop fresh and encouraging repeat visits from customers. Vendors are responsible for keeping their booths stocked and visually appealing, while we manage the day-to-day retail operations. We handle re-stocking for out of town vendors.
How Sales & Inventory Work
All sales are processed through our point-of-sale system, allowing inventory to be tracked accurately. Vendors receive regular reporting so they can monitor performance and plan restocks.
Our system is designed to be simple and transparent, giving vendors peace of mind while their products are on the sales floor.
Pricing & Fees
Accepted vendors pay:
A monthly booth or display rental fee
A small percentage of sales
Specific pricing details vary based on booth size and placement and are shared during the application and approval process. This allows us to make sure each vendor is placed in a setup that makes sense for their products and goals.
Some situations are custom but here are the main vendor prices:
