Central Florida Entrepreneur Creates Community-Driven Resource to Help Vendors Make
Informed Event Decisions While Also Creating a Business That’s Close to her Heart
CENTRAL FLORIDA — Alicia T. Keys, owner of A Key Scent LLC
and founder of Vendors POV, is turning personal challenges into a
powerful resource for vendors across Central Florida and beyond.
After experiencing numerous disappointments and financial setbacks
as a vendor at various events, Keys recognized a need for greater
transparency within the event and vendor industry. Her solution:
Vendors POV, an online platform where vendors can openly share their
honest experiences with event organizers and trade shows.
Vendors POV was created to serve as a trusted space where vendors
can provide candid feedback about their vending experiences, helping
fellow entrepreneurs make informed decisions before investing their time, inventory, and money
into future events.
"As vendors, we often take significant financial risks when participating in events," said Keys.
"Unfortunately, not every experience lives up to the promises made by organizers. I created
Vendors POV because I believe vendors deserve access to honest information from those who
have already participated. My hope is that transparency will help vendors avoid costly mistakes
while encouraging event organizers to provide the quality experiences they advertise."
The inspiration behind Vendors POV stems from Keys' own entrepreneurial journey through A
Key Scent LLC, a company specializing in natural and homeopathic products including lotions,
body oils, healthy beverages, and natural healing remedies. The business holds deep personal
significance for Keys, who founded A Key Scent after witnessing her late mother's battle with
cancer.
Driven by a desire to provide affordable wellness products that she wished had been more readily
available during her mother's illness, Keys built A Key Scent with a mission centered on healing,
accessibility, and compassion. Because of the passion and purpose behind her business,
protecting her investment and ensuring fair treatment as a vendor became especially important.
"Every vendor has a story, a dream, and a reason for being in business," Keys explained. "For
me, A Key Scent is deeply connected to my mother's memory. When vendors invest their hardearned money into events, they deserve honesty, professionalism, and realistic expectations."
Through Vendors POV, Keys hopes to foster a stronger, more informed vendor community while
encouraging accountability and excellence among event organizers. The platform allows vendors
to share both positive and negative experiences, creating a balanced ecosystem where
exceptional organizers can build credibility and vendors can confidently choose opportunities
that align with their business goals.
As the vendor marketplace continues to grow, Vendors POV aims to become a leading resource
for transparency, trust, and community-driven decision-making throughout Central Florida and
eventually nationwide.
