About this Event
Many incredible businesses start with a simple idea… and a table at a local market.
The candles you pour at home.
The jewelry you make at your kitchen table.
The baked goods your friends keep asking you to sell.
But turning that idea into a profitable, sustainable small business can feel overwhelming.
How do you price your products?
How do you attract customers?
How do you turn one market into repeat buyers?
That’s exactly why we created Dream Academy: Vendor Edition.
This 6-week program is designed specifically for makers, bakers, artists, and creators who want to grow their market vendor experience into a thriving business.
Whether you're brand new to markets or already selling at Ogden Market, this course will give you practical tools, confidence, and community support.
✔ How to design a vendor booth that attracts customers
✔ How to price your products so you actually make profit
✔ How to tell your story so people connect with your brand
✔ How to confidently talk to customers at your table
✔ How to turn market visitors into loyal repeat buyers
✔ How to grow your idea beyond the market
You’ll leave with real strategies you can use immediately at your next market.
This program is perfect for:
• Handmade product vendors
• Market vendors and pop-up sellers
• Makers, bakers, artists, and creators
• People exploring a small business idea
• Anyone selling (or hoping to sell) at Ogden Market
No business experience required.
Local markets are more than just places to shop.
They are incubators for local businesses, places where ideas grow, entrepreneurs find their confidence, and communities support each other.
Dream Academy exists to help local vendors take the next step in that journey.
Because when local businesses grow, our community grows too.
