Thoughts on Kilts After the Games

[Larry124]

I know a little about vendors vs. event promoters or organizers in the Bluegrass and Folk Music Festival context.
(Not false modesty – only a little.)

Yes, vendors can be treated poorly.

And, some vendors can have unreasonable or impractical needs or expectations.

Those are business to business negotiations. I’ve seen both sides profit or lose. It doesn’t help that some event promoters or organizations, and some vendors, may have limited experience.

I’d have to know all the facts to take sides.
Even then I might have a bias for whichever principal that I’m closest to.

I assume that promoters and vendors believe in common that it is a good thing to have vendors at an event. That should be profitable for both sides. But as in everything else it’s the “from here to there” that may not be that easy.

These days, if a small business has a decent Internet presence and orders are steady or strong, given the time and cost of travel, maybe live vending now has a reduced importance/utility?
