Sacramento, CA - Sac Vendor Connect is the budding outlet for helping independent business owners gain their footing in the greater Sacramento area through event hosting and marketing. Offering advice and vendor space for upstart entrepreneurs, The Sac Vendor Connect has made it its mission to always be a working entity for helping vendors through education and community event hosting.
"I'm happy that people can come and experience all kinds of creative opportunities and attend events like this." - Danielle, Owner of Heart Craft Studio.
Ran by Candice, who owns Sugar Sweetery, had a vision of unifying unique and creative vendors within Sacramento for cultivating significant community awareness. "You meet a lot of cool vendors and makers, and I use my platform to showcase who they are," stated Candice. "I'm all about shopping small and keeping it in the community, and you're going to see diverse vendors of every race, gender, and sexuality - because I want to make sure everyone feels inclusive," stated Candice when asked about helping community vendors.
One of those Vendors, Rashell Choo, a local graphic design artist that creates personalized comic books for kids and journals, stated, "I started out doing wedding invitations, but despite having had my clientele - I still didn't feel seen. I'm thankful for events like this."
Charone, the owner of Enorah Jewelry, said, "I'm super happy to have connected with Candice! The support for the vendors and hard work put in for us is genuinely appreciated. I will be participating again in the future."
Like many Sac Vendor Connects events, they're deeply rooted in safe inclusive community Spaces - one of those spaces being Heart Craft Studio of Rancho Cordova, California. "I'm happy that people can come and experience all kinds of creative opportunities and attend events like this - especially after the past few years," when speaking with Danielle, owner of Heart Craft Studio. Candice said, "The Heart Craft Studio is a creative space, and we wanted to work with the owner [Danielle] to show Rancho - great things are happening."
"You're going to see diverse vendors of every race, gender, and sexuality - because I want to make sure everyone feels inclusive." - Candice, Owner of Sugar Sweetery & Sac Vendor Connect.
"My natural background is a retail manager, and that's why I took on the business with my wife - she's the talent, and I am behind the scenes. But it wasn't a hard transition into event hosting," stated Candice when asked about transitioning into event hosting. "We started hosting huge events at Bradley Ranch Winery to bring the community together with bounce houses, amusement rides, food trucks, and wine tastings." Since 2022, Sac Vendor Connects also started outsourcing its services to established businesses to help with strategic marketing and event management.
What Sac Vendor Connect is doing for Sacramento independent businesses, is a highlight to not only Candice but the community as a whole. "We want to always put the community and our vendors first," stated Candice.
