The MOD Hive 2026 Vendor Seasonal Success Guide
To help you maximize your sales, we’ve put together this seasonal roadmap. Use this to guide your inventory builds and ensure your booth is always fresh and relevant for Kalispell shoppers.
Some things to keep in mind to keep your shelf looking new.
The 3-Week Rule: Try to have your seasonal stock in your booth at least 3 weeks before the holiday and at least 6 weeks before bigger holidays, like Christmas and Halloween.
Restock Often: We require that you restock/freshen up your shelf once a month, but doing it more often can make returning customers want to check out what you’ve added.
