First, Open your own ECA and learn exactly how it works.
Second, As you learn the benefits of owning an ECA you will be able to recruit vendors easily. For example, I have an ECA and it has been the Featured ECA. This is a powerful tool/opportunity for any vendor. You get a huge amount of exposure for your store. Any retailer would love it.
When I was featured I went from making sales once every three days or so to every single day.
Also because I am an ECA I learned the benefit of the weekly ECA communication tools.
I set goals for myself. Then I hit the pavement walking down the main street and stopping in any shop that has an email, website, or other electronic indicators on their sign or store window. I walk in and ask would they like to increase their web exposure and online sales free?
I explain that I will help them free to set up and train one of their staff to do everything that needs to be done to be successful as an ECA. I explain that SFI pays me to do this from the fee on sales.
I prefer local vendors for my ECAs because I can help them and I will buy from them.
The second thing I do is examine people's websites. When I find people trying to sell but who have no "Online Shopping Cart", I show them how to set up TC to be their Online Cart and back office support of all their eCommerce efforts. So many small outfits have email contact for price lists or for an actual purchase. I show them how TC can take care of everything from inventory to billing all automated for them.
