Complete the market creation form with the following information: - Market Name: The official name of your market - Description: A brief overview that will be shown to vendors and shoppers - Address Information: The physical location where the market will take place - Contact Information: - Contact Name - Phone Number - Email Address These details will be available to vendors and shoppers who need to reach you.
