Chapter 01

You know that moment when you're loading the car and trying to remember which neighbor was nice, where the load-in entrance was, and whether the Saturday crowd was worth coming back for.

Show up like you've done this before.

MyEventPrep keeps a running memory of every event you've done — the booth that worked, the neighbors worth saying hi to, the notes that only matter once you're back. Copy any past event for the next one, and it's all there waiting for you.

  • Notes from Last Time

    Duplicate any past event and its lessons come with it.

  • Vendor Neighbor Notes

    Track who you booth next to, their products, follow-up.

  • Saved Booth Layouts

    Your booth diagram, ready to load again.

Chapter 02

The lavender candles sold out by 11. The bath bombs you stayed up making? You brought half of them home.

Pack the right amount.

Past sales feed straight into next event's plan, so you're producing from data, not gut. If your sales live in Square, we read them automatically — Square does sales, we do prep.

Chapter 03

It's 7am, the wind's already picking up, and your checklist is somewhere in your Notes app from October.

Set up without the scramble.

A weather-aware checklist, your booth layout on your phone, and everything cached for the fairgrounds where there is no signal. The morning runs on muscle memory instead of panic.

Chapter 04

Every market teaches you something. Most of it evaporates by the next one.

Get better at this every event.

A profit verdict graded against your own per-event target, plus reflections, event-type insights, and product performance. Three events in, you stop guessing which fairs to apply for next year — and the Yes/Maybe/No you log today is waiting for you a year from now when you go to apply again.
