This past year, SIA launched the Act & Merchant Finder feature on our website where performers, vendors, and MPEP-ers with active policies can make select parts of their profile public. This feature was created with the hopes of helping our clients with free advertising as well as helping to create an ease of hire for events/venues across the U.S.
Since launching the Act & Merchant Finder, we've advertised this page to fairs, festivals, and events of the like. In response, we've received positive feedback from events/venues saying how easy it was to find clients to book. Events/venues can search the page by using filters such as: state, type of entertainer, service(s) offered, merchants, and food & beverage. To give equal visibility to all who are opted in, the Act & Merchant Finder page randomly generates the display order each time the page is loaded.
