If you do the same market every week, typing it into your tracker over and over gets old fast. This short shows the quick version of how FairKeep handles it: repeat an event across every date of a weekly market, or save it as a template. The full walkthrough post on repeating markets and show templates goes deeper.
Two Ways to Skip the Retyping
- Repeat the event. Add a whole run of weekly markets at once, and the season's dates land in your events list, ready for you to log income and costs after each one.
- Save it as a template. Plenty of shows come around once a year with the same details. Save one as a template and next year's version starts filled in, so you only update what changed.
Why It's Worth Setting Up
The start of the season is when you're busiest building stock, so less data entry then is a real help. Keeping the details consistent from year to year also makes it easier to compare the same show across seasons, and with every market date already on your calendar, you can see the whole season at once.
For the longer explanation of both features, read adding a weekly market all at once and saving show templates.
FairKeep is free to start and doesn't ask for a credit card, so you can try FairKeep 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, and my FairKeep overview has the bigger picture.
