Become a Founding Vendor
Help build the marketplace from day one. $100 deposit becomes a credit you redeem against your first Monthly or Season Pass, unlocks a 3-week Marketing + Pricing Assistant trial, and earns you permanent recognition as a founder of Frost Shop Marketplace.
What you get
$100 credit toward Monthly or Season
The full $100 deposit becomes a credit on your account, redeemed when you book your first Monthly or Season Pass. Day-pass tryers can still be Founders — the credit stays on your account until you upgrade. Never expires.
Permanent recognition
Your business is listed as a Founding Vendor on our acknowledgements page — visible to every visitor, every sponsor, every reporter, forever.
Founding number locked in
Founding Vendors are numbered 1 through 20 in the order you sign up. Your number is yours. We engrave it on the recognition board.
Featured at launch
Founding Vendors are auto-included in the launch announcement (social, email, press) so you ride the opening-day spotlight.
3-week Marketing + Pricing Assistant trial
When you redeem your credit on a Monthly or Season Pass, you get a 3-week trial of both the Marketing Assistant (weekly captions + posting tips) and the Pricing Assistant (regional benchmarks + special-of-the-day copy, coming soon).
Direct line to the founder
Founding Vendors get Xav's direct cell. Questions, ideas, problems — you skip the queue.
