Once you choose the best primary category for your business, you can also list in additional secondary categories. When choosing the best categories for your business, keep in mind that a top-requested category is only a good fit if your business offers that specific service and if it is shown in your profile through your description and photos. For assistance in selecting categories for your business or for specific stats on party planner demand in your category or location, please contact our Account Services Team at info@thebash.com.

If you're a multi-talented vendor (for example, you’re both a DJ and Photo Booth), you can create an additional profile to showcase your other services. This allows you to tailor each profile (your photos, videos, bio, etc.) to the unique services you provide.
