Advice for New Vendors
As you have read in our Vendor Handbook, cancellations can be costly for vendors. Market staff would prefer to avoid charging unnecessary cancellation fees, and we are here to help new vendors determine a schedule that will set them up for success.
If you are feeling uncertain about your participation or success at this market, we encourage you to apply for no more than four dates at first. That way, the expectation is that you would pay your booth fee and participate in the first approved date. If you were in any way dissatisfied with the experience, including lower than expected sales or an interest in trying other markets, you could cancel all three remaining dates with a minimum of 24 hours notice (see “cancellations”) and you would not be charged for any of those dates. If you are having a wonderful experience and wish to participate in more dates, you may submit a new date request by contacting the Market Manager (see “new date requests”). While new date requests are not guaranteed to be approved, we generally have space available and can accommodate these requests.
If you still are unsure about what schedule to request, please contact us for advice as to how to proceed prior to submitting an application. We want you to have a great experience and will always be honest about what to expect!
