Markets, made for you
Thanks for your interest in BAMM markets! Our markets are designed to support career vendors, not just part-timers and hobbyists. Here are a few things that make BAMM markets great:
Location and timing to appeal to the most customers, and promotion to bring them in. (See Traffic).
Live music through a partnership with the NH Music Collective
Veterans' Voucher program run in partnership with the Belknap County Conservation District will bring up to $10,000 to each market in the month of September!
Markets sized to maximize your sales - see Analysis
We support multiple payment methods including SNAP/EBT, gift cards, and by selling market tokens so you don't need a credit card reader or have to pay fees!
Our websites will always be up to date with your information and the dates of markets you'll be attending
and more!

Notes
After applying, you'll receive an email with the subject "BAMM Application 2024 Markets" - it contains a link to edit your responses at a later date - save it to manage your information throughout the season!
Your pricing tier is chosen automatically based on the number of dates you attend each market. The lowest-cost tier will always be used, so as soon as you select enough markets that half-time is cheaper, you'll no longer be considered a drop-in, for example. We feel that this encourages and rewards more frequent participation, and that's good for everyone!
Full time vendors are not necessarily exclusive but will receive the most effort to manage competition.
Full and half-time vendors who have participated in an approved UNH Ag Biz or Food Safety course can select their booth location and will be emphasized on our webpages and in the brochure (if prepaid).
Payment
Prepayment perks are available for full and half time vendors who pay in full before May 1.
Full and half-time vendors must pay 1/4 down prior to the start date of the market season, if not pre-paid in full. The remaining balance will be taken out of token, SNAP and voucher returns until the full balance is paid, or through monthly catch-ups, if necessary.
Drop-in/Guest vendors must pay prior to the start of their market date(s).
Choosing Markets
Each of our markets is meant to appeal to as many people as possible, but they will also each have a specific target demographic. You may want to keep your target customer type in mind when choosing which market(s) to apply to. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
