what is the vendor collective?
The Staycay Vendor Collective is a membership community of vendors who power every Staycay experience. It is not a directory or a networking group. It is a carefully curated network of craftspeople who share The Staycay standard, and who have chosen to elevate their work together rather than see each other as competition.
Membership is $50 per month.
what membership includes:
Six reasons to be part of the Vendor Collective.
1.
a real working partnership
A relationship with The Staycay
and every other partner in the network,
built to collaborate and create exclusive packages together.
4.
QUARTERLY PARTNER GATHERINGS
Workshops, in-person meetups,
and informal mentorship designed for relationship-building, shared learning,
and elevating your craft.
2.
booking pipeline
Every Staycay client booking flows
through collective members first.
The more aligned and elevated your craft, the more bookings come your way.
5.
VISIBILITY
Featured spotlights on our Instagram. Inclusion in our editorial content.
Co-branded promotional opportunities.
3.
EXCLUSIVE PACKAGES
Exclusive multi-vendor Staycay packages are designed only with members of the collective, never sourced externally.
6.
a name behind your name
Membership itself signals to potential clients that your craft has been vetted, approved, and trusted.
the collective is not
This is not a place for partners
who view other craftspeople as competition.
It is not a referral exchange where people quietly undercut each other.
It is not a paid listing where you show up, pay your fee, and disappear.
Partners in this collective build packages together, share clients without resentment, show up for each other, and motivate each other to elevate their craft.
If that is not the way you want to work, this is not the right network for you.
COLLECTIVE DETAILS
A Curated, Not Open, Network
The collective is intentionally small. We limit membership by
category to ensure every partner has a genuine opportunity to build through The Staycay. Accepting an excess of cleaners or chefs would serve no one well. When you join, you are not competing with ten people who do exactly what you do. You are collaborating with people who complement it.
Where We Operate
The Staycay currently serves all of Long Island and NYC.
We welcome applications from vendors based in or able to
reliably service these areas.
Membership Standards
Membership in the collective is an ongoing commitment,
not a one-time approval. We ask every partner to maintain the standard that earned them a place here. If client feedback or partner experience suggests otherwise, we address it directly and collaboratively. The integrity of the network depends on every member holding their standard, and we take that seriously.
