Who’s it for?
Pick the version built for you.
VendorLoop works the same way under the hood. The pitch is sharper when it’s built around your setup.
How the automation works
Set your week once. VendorLoop texts it out.
Add your stops for the week and flip on auto-send. AI writes your whole schedule and texts it to your list — once a week, on the day you pick. No daily blasting, no busywork.
AI writes your week's schedule
Pulls every stop from your calendar into one clean text — no blank screen to stare at.
Sends once a week, automatically
Pick a day and time; it goes out on its own. One text, not a blast before every stop.
Your whole list stays in the loop
Regulars keep your full lineup in their phone instead of hunting for your latest story.
From a Vendor Like You
“I used to rely on people remembering me after the market. Now I text them every Friday before we open and I see familiar faces every week.”
— Sarah K., Farmers Market Vendor
The Problem
Instagram isn't enough.
- ✕Followers don't see every post
- ✕Stories disappear
- ✕Algorithms change
- ✕Customers forget where you're parked
- ✕You get 30 DMs asking "Where are you today?"
- ✕Finder apps list you next to every other truck
Text messages get opened.
And your list is yours — not a platform's. No algorithm, no other vendors in the way.
The marketing runs itself.
VendorLoop automates the part you never have time for — so your regulars keep showing up while you run the truck or the booth.
✓ Set it once. It runs every event.
AI writes your texts
Tell it where you'll be — or pull the stop straight from your calendar — and AI drafts a ready-to-send message. No more staring at a blank screen.
It sends them automatically
Add your events and flip on auto-text. Your regulars get the reminder the day before each one — hands-free, every time.
Only the customers nearby
VendorLoop automatically texts just the subscribers near each event — smarter reach, no wasted messages, no annoyed customers.
Only text subscribers who are near you.
After customers join your list, VendorLoop asks for their zip code. It stores their location and — when you schedule an event — only texts the subscribers who are nearby.
Customers who aren't near your next stop won't hear from you this time — and they won't unsubscribe. Subscribers without a zip are always included so you never miss anyone.
- ✓Customers reply with their zip — no forms, no friction
- ✓Events auto-filter to nearby subscribers automatically
- ✓No zip code? Subscriber always gets the text
- ✓Toggle proximity on or off per event

- Download as PNG — print anywhere
- Your own dedicated phone number
- Text keyword on your signage = hands-free signups
For the big ones
Got a special event? Let them know the day before.
Your weekly text covers the regular rotation. For the bigger moments — a brewery night, a festival, a new menu drop — flip on a one-time reminder and AI texts the regulars nearby the day before. Use it when it counts.
AI writes the announcement
Tell it the event; it drafts the text and schedules it to go out the day before.
Only the regulars nearby
It targets the subscribers closest to that stop — not your whole list, every time.
Set it once, then forget it
Flip it on for that one event and it sends on its own — no follow-up, no daily texting.
From first contact to loyal regular.
Get your QR code and text keyword
Display the QR code at your booth — or just tell customers to text your keyword. Both work.
Customers scan or text to join
Scan the QR, or text your keyword to your number. Either way they're on your list in seconds.
It runs itself
AI drafts your text and auto-sends it before each event — only to the customers nearby. You don't lift a finger.

From the vendors
They didn't just buy once. They came back.
Vendors using VendorLoop don't just make sales — they build a crowd that shows up for them week after week.
“I used to just hope people remembered me after the market. Now I text them every Friday and my booth is packed by 9am. Signed up over 200 people in my first 3 months.”
Sarah K.
Wildflower Honey Co. · St. Augustine, FL
“Customers scan the QR code while they're waiting in line. By the time they reach the window they're already on my list. My regulars now come specifically because I texted them my location.”
Marcus T.
Tacos La Familia · Tampa, FL
“I was skeptical about paying for another tool. But one text before a market and I'm sold out of my bestsellers before noon. It pays for itself every single month.”

Frequently asked
Is VendorLoop free?+
Yes — VendorLoop has a free tier that includes unlimited QR code signups, your subscriber list, and your event schedule. You only pay when you're ready to text your customers: Starter is $29/month for 1,000 messages, Growth is $59/month for 4,000, and Pro is $99/month for 7,500. No free trial because the free tier is the trial — use it as long as you need before upgrading.
How is VendorLoop different from Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or HubSpot?+
Those tools are built for e-commerce stores at static addresses — pipelines, drip sequences, lead scoring, the works. VendorLoop is built for vendors with a truck. The single problem we solve is 'my customers don't know where I am today,' which no general CRM addresses. You set up a QR code at your booth in 5 minutes and customers scan it to join right away. Once your dedicated number is approved (about 3–5 business days) and you pick a plan, you blast your whole list before each market or service window.
How do customers join my list?+
Two ways. (1) They scan a QR code at your booth, truck window, or counter — no app, no typing, opt-in in under 10 seconds. (2) They text your keyword (like JOIN or HONEY) to your dedicated number, which works anywhere — IG bio, business cards, even printed on your napkins.
Do customers need an app to scan the QR code?+
No. Every modern phone camera reads QR codes natively — iPhones since 2017, Android since 2019. Your customer points their camera, taps the link that pops up, fills out one short form, and they're on your list. Zero friction, no downloads.
What's a toll-free number and why do I need one?+
It's a dedicated phone number (starting 8XX) that's used only for your business's texts. Phone carriers require it so customers can opt out cleanly and you don't get filtered as spam. We register it for you with the carriers — it takes about 3–5 business days, and it's free to submit (you only pick a plan once it's approved). You can start collecting subscribers via QR code immediately while you wait.
How long does setup take?+
Five minutes to register, print your QR code, and add your first event. You can collect subscribers same-day. If you want to text those subscribers, your dedicated number registration takes about 3–5 business days for the phone carriers to approve. It's free to submit — you only pick a plan once your number's approved, so the wait costs you nothing.
