“I have been vending with the Southeast Asian Market for exactly a year now! Coming to the Southeast Asian Market was a whole different ballgame. I completely underestimated the massive crowd. I actually ended up selling out by 2:00 PM on my very first day! What touched my heart the most, though, was how welcomed I felt. Vending at the market has completely transformed the trajectory of my business. Before joining, my reach was mostly limited to the local Vietnamese community through Facebook pre-orders and word-of-mouth. The market gave me a physical stage and a platform I never could have built on my own from home. Because of the market, my social media presence grew from a small circle of 200 followers to over 3,000. Because my brand revolves tightly around traditional Vietnamese flavors, my customer base used to be almost strictly Vietnamese. The market completely blew those boundaries open. Today, we serve people from every single background and ethnicity. The revenue from the market has relieved so much pressure on our household, especially with the helpful updates to the vendor structure this year. If a permanent spot ever becomes available in the future, I would be absolutely honored to take that next step and remain a permanent part of this family.”

“I’ve been vending with the Southeast Asian Market for the past few years, and joining was one of the best decisions I made for my business. As a small handmade business owner, I was looking for opportunities to connect with customers in person, introduce people to my natural candles, soaps, and body care products, and be part of a vibrant community-centered market. The energy, diversity, and strong customer turnout immediately made it feel like the perfect fit. Vending with the Southeast Asian Market has played a meaningful role in the growth of Bees & Wax Candle Co. It gave me consistent visibility in front of thousands of potential customers and helped me strengthen my confidence as a business owner. Beyond immediate sales, it has increased brand awareness, customer trust, and repeat business both in person and online. Many shoppers who found us at the market became repeat customers, followed us on social media, subscribed to our email list, and later shopped with us online or at other pop-up events. The Southeast Asian Market has created something truly special—not just for shoppers, but for small businesses looking for meaningful opportunities to grow. Your team has always been welcoming, organized, and supportive, and I truly value being part of this vendor community. Thank you for continuing to create spaces where small businesses can thrive.”

“My team, Mimi’s Cafe, have been at the market for about a year and a half now and what made us decide to join was the great opportunity it gives for us small businesses to be out there. I noticed that the market offered spots for Pop ups and I took the initiated to give it a shot and apply, which was all too easy by the way, and we started selling asap. Our first experience was probably our most memorable experience because we ended up selling out all of our products! Everyone was so welcoming and happy we were able to sell with them. Because of the market alone, we didn’t need to do much marketing since there was a lot of foot traffic already. Regarding marketing, a lot of people were able to see our signs we’ve put up because of how organized the walkways/paths are. Everyone would walk down these paths and have the opportunity to take a look at every stall they see, so it was easy for us to advertise as well. Since it was so easy for people to see us, we were able to gather a good amount of followers on social media through every pop up and we not have regulars who show up just to buy our products. Our revenue has always been up since we’ve joined. It’s all due to the fact that everything was so smooth to sell.”
