How to Apply
-
Tampa Bay Markets requires all prospective vendors to apply, each season, to our Tampa Bay Markets Organization application in order to become an approved vendor for the events we operate.
This is the first step for all vendors who wish to participate in our markets and events throughout the year.
If you are interested in becoming a vendor click below to learn more and access the Tampa Bay Markets Organization Application hosted on Marketspread.
Thank you,
The Tampa Bay Markets Team

TBM works with Marketspread as the platform for applications, communications, scheduling and invoicing for our markets and events. New and returning vendors follow a 3-step process in Marketspread:
STEP 1 - All vendors interested in working with TBM are required to complete a Marketspread Profile to begin the application process.
Before you apply, review our Application Checklist for requirements.
STEP 2 - Each season, both new and returning vendors will complete the Tampa Bay Markets Organization Application
Our team will review submitted applications to ensure insurance, equipment, applicable licensing and product requirements are met with the appropriate uploaded documents and photos.
**Only Vendors with Approved TBM Organization Applications will have access to our specific market and event registrations.
STEP 3 - Once a vendor’s application is APPROVED by the TBM organization, each vendor will receive an email with links to register for any of the markets and events we operate.
These market-specific registration links, hosted on Marketspread, are where vendors submit available dates for booking consideration and products they wish to sell at a particular market or event.
-
We advise all prospective vendors to read our Vendor Handbook to make sure that the events we operate are a true fit for you!
