Not Just Another Vendor Event

---

 This is not a standard pop-up; it's  an immersive event with  built-in  purchasing incentives, and a focus on helping vendors succeed by ensuring  purchasing power and engagement with vendors  during the event.  

There are benefits to vendors before, during, and after the event:

Before the Event
Vendors are promoted across Top Perfumer's social media in the lead-up to the competition, introducing your brand to our audience of fragrance lovers, creatives, and cultural tastemakers. This pre-event visibility builds awareness and anticipation for your products before guests even arrive.

During the Event
On competition night, you gain direct access to an engaged audience. Guests use Bucks — event currency provided with admission and earned throughout the competition — to shop with you. This creates an active marketplace atmosphere where attendees are primed to explore, purchase, and discover new brands in real time. These Bucks work like cash and are reimbursed to the vendors.

After the Event
Your brand remains visible well beyond the night itself. All vendors are featured in the event’s Digital Playbill, distributed to attendees during the show, allowing guests to follow up, reconnect, and continue engaging with your products and services long after the competition ends.

Together, these elements create a complete promotional cycle: awareness before the event, meaningful engagement during the event, and sustained visibility afterward.

Top Perfumer Bucks are event currency that attendees can use just like cash with participating vendors during the event. Vendors accept Top Perfumer Bucks just like cash, then redeem them with the Top Perfumer Competition for reimbursement after the event. This unique program gives attendees extra spending power while helping drive sales and exposure for local businesses.

Every guest receives Top Perfumer Bucks with admission—General Admission guests receive $5, and VIP guests receive $10 to spend with participating vendors. Throughout the evening, attendees and contestants can earn additional Top Perfumer Bucks by participating in fragrance-themed challenges, with even more awarded to the newly-crowned Atlanta's Top Perfumer.

Absolutely! Vendors continue selling their products exactly as they normally would. Customers can pay using your accepted payment methods, and attendees who have Top Perfumer Bucks can also use those with participating vendors. Top Perfumer Bucks simply provide attendees with additional spending power and another way for you to make sales. 

 No. While fragrance is at the heart of the Top Perfumer Competition, our vendor lineup is intentionally diverse. We welcome a curated mix of businesses offering beauty products, skincare, candles, body care, fashion, accessories, lifestyle goods, art, and other complementary products that enhance the overall experience for our guests. The Shoppe is designed as a discovery space, and we seek unique, high-quality brands that align with creativity, self-expression, and elevated personal style. 

We are seeking high-quality brands in fragrance, beauty, fashion,  lifestyle, wellness, home, art, jewelry, accessories, and related  industries that align with the event’s creative environment. 

 Vendor participation includes vendor space, marketing exposure before and  after the event, access to a highly engaged audience with "Bucks" to  spend with vendors, and on-site support.  

 All interested vendors must complete the application form. Applications  are reviewed to ensure strong brand alignment, diversity of products and  services, and an elevated overall experience. Only approved vendors  will be invited to submit payment and finalize participation. 

 Yes — booth sharing is permitted only for vendors who select the  Sandalwood or Cedarwood packages, and only if each business submits its  own application and is accepted. Shared booths must present a single  cohesive aesthetic, and no more than two people total may staff the  space (max 1 representative per company).
