Four digital tools to help you build and grow a profitable vendor business
Running a successful vendor business means knowing your numbers. The Vendor Toolkit gives you four professionally designed spreadsheets that do the math automatically...so you can focus on finding the right shows, building your booth, and making sales.
 
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Product Cost Calculator
Know your true cost per item before you set a single price. Enter your materials, packaging, time investment, and other costs and your true cost, net profit, and profit margin calculate automatically across your entire product line. Set your hourly rate once and it applies to every product. A healthy margin is 50% or better...this tool tells you exactly where you stand on every item you sell.
 
Startup Budget Worksheet
Before you spend your first dollar on displays, inventory, or booth fees know exactly what you're getting into. Every startup expense category is pre-populated with realistic estimated cost ranges. Enter your actual costs and your subtotals and grand total calculate automatically. Start smart. Start informed.
 
Break Even Calculator
Before you commit to any show know exactly how many sales you need to cover your costs. Enter your event costs...booth fee, mileage, hotel, meals, parking...and your average sale information and your break even number calculates instantly. An after the show section lets you compare your actual results against your projection so you know whether a show is worth returning to.
 
Sales Log
Track every sale at every show. Pre-populated with common vendor product categories and prices that you customize to your specific product line. Enter quantities sold and your totals, profit, and margin calculate automatically. Separate cash and card payment tracking gives you a complete financial picture of every event.
 
HOW IT WORKS:
Download the Excel file to your computer
Yellow cells are your input fields...enter your information there
All calculations happen automatically in the teal cells
Customize product names, categories, and prices to match your business
Use a new Sales Log tab for each show or duplicate the tab to keep a running record
