The Opportunity
Vendors as Revenue & Value
Vendor partnerships do two things at once — they generate income for the event through booth fees and they add real value for contestants and families who are already spending money on exactly what these vendors sell. The categories below are sequenced by priority: direct contestant spend first, family and lifestyle second.
Charge a Vendor Fee
Each vendor pays a flat booth or sponsorship fee to participate. They get direct access to 40+ contestants and their families — a highly targeted captive audience actively spending on event-related products. Suggested range: $150–$500 depending on category exclusivity.
Potential: $1,500–$3,000 additional revenueExclusivity is Your Leverage
One vendor per category. A boutique pays more knowing they're the only dress shop in the room. A spray tan vendor pays more knowing they're the only one. Exclusivity is worth a premium — use it to negotiate up from your floor price.
One per category = maximum vendor motivationStart With Foxy Lady
Voted #5 Best Dress Store in the Nation by Pageant Planet. They already serve this exact market. This is your anchor vendor call — make it first, get them locked in, and use that to recruit others.
Pageant-specific = easiest yesSpray Tan is Guaranteed Revenue
Mobile spray tan is the highest-conversion vendor at any pageant. Contestants want it the day before or morning of. A vendor who sets up on-site will sell out. This is an easy pitch because they know it.

A mobile spray tan service sets up on-site or at the hotel. Contestants want this the day before or morning of competition. At pageants, uptake is near universal. A motivated vendor will sell out their slots. Search "mobile spray tan Myrtle Beach" for local options.
Guaranteed high sales volume. Easiest vendor to pitch because they already know pageant clients. Charge a premium booth fee — they'll still profit significantly.
An emergency alterations seamstress on event day is invaluable — a broken zipper, a hem that's too long, a strap that needs reinforcing. Amanda's Collection in Conway has in-house alterations and may have a contact. Also check local tailors and bridal shops for day-of availability.
Low booth fee but enormous goodwill. Every contestant and parent will remember who saved the day.
Mobile teeth whitening is a fast growing on-site service at pageants and beauty events. 15–20 minute treatments, high perceived value, contestants want it before stage. Search "mobile teeth whitening Myrtle Beach" or check with the Landmark Resort for spa referrals.
Quick service = high volume. Contestants will pay $50–$100 on-site without hesitation.
Separate from official event photography — a portrait photographer offering mini sessions for contestants and families before or after the event. Families travel for this event and want professional photos. Search local photographers with pageant or portrait event experience.
Families will pay for portraits. Photographer benefits from a captive audience already dressed and styled.
Statement earrings, rhinestone pieces, and stage-appropriate jewelry are high impulse buys at pageant events. A jewelry vendor with pageant-appropriate inventory — bold, photogenic pieces — will sell well. Look for local boutiques or consider reaching out to wholesale jewelry vendors who attend pageant circuits.
Low booth setup, high margin product. Contestants shopping for the stage will spend freely on the right pieces.
Shany Cosmetics is already a prize partner — other skincare or beauty brands could occupy a vendor booth for product sampling and direct sales. Look for a local or regional brand that aligns with the True Beauty aesthetic. Natural, clean, or luxury positioning works best for this audience.
Complements the Shany partnership without competing. Brand differentiation by category keeps both happy.
Event t-shirts, rhinestone team wear, personalized name items for young contestants — parents buy this constantly at pageant events. A local custom apparel vendor or print shop offering on-site or pre-order True Beauty merchandise would find a ready audience.
Young contestant families especially. "Princess" division parents will buy everything.
