If you do a weekly farmers market, entering the same show over and over for the whole season is tedious. This short video shows two FairKeep features that cut that repetition down: repeating an event and saving a show as a template.
Repeat a Weekly Market
Instead of entering the same show every week, you can add a whole run of markets at once. Set it up one time and the season's worth of dates is in your events list, ready for you to log income and costs after each one.
Save a Show as a Template
Plenty of shows come around once a year with the same details. Save a show as a template and next year's version starts filled in, so you're only updating what changed instead of retyping everything.
Why It Helps
- Less data entry at the start of the season, when you're busiest preparing stock.
- Consistent details from year to year, which makes it easier to compare the same show across seasons.
- Every market date is already on your calendar, so you can see the whole season at once.
Try It Yourself
The step-by-step guide on the FairKeep site walks through repeating an event and using templates screen by screen, so you can follow along at your own pace. FairKeep is free to start and doesn't ask for a credit card, so you can set up an account and try it with your own shows. If you haven't seen the app before, the two-minute tour of FairKeep covers the dashboard, events, applications, calendar, packing list, reports and integrations in one pass.
I recorded this video on a demo account for a made-up candle company, so the shows, names and numbers on screen are examples, not real data. For the bigger picture of what FairKeep does, see my FairKeep overview, and for the free calculators and tools that sit alongside it, the VendorTools hub.
