Pop-up Market
How pop-up market organisers should automate WhatsApp
Food vendors ask stall size and power while shoppers ask "what time does it open?" on the same line the week of the market. Vermoss Flow collects vendor applications with category and setup needs, sends shopper event reminders with location pin, and lets your team answer stall allocation questions in the vendor inbox only.
Stall applications and shopper event reminders run from one number without drowning vendors in consumer chat.
How this works at your scale

Curated monthly market run by one producer. Vendor intake and shopper updates from one phone.
Small team
Market with vendor coordinator and social lead. Paths split trade and public cleanly.
Multi site or larger
Market series across suburbs. Edition date picker routes to correct event details.
