JUST A FRIENDLY NOTE:

We want the day to be a huge success for all but unfortunately we are unable to guarantee sales, or new potential customers.

What we can promise is that we will do everything in my power to support you, promote you, market you and provide you with all the tools we think of to help make things a success.

A markets like this is a perfect opportunity to network and get to know your community.
 
If you happen to run out of items, we strongly suggest you have some order forms on hand, as well as some samples (physical or digital) that customers can see all that you offer, even if they are unable to buy them that day.

RAFFLE GIVEAWAY:
We ask vendors to submit a product that goes towards our Door Prize Giveaways. This is NOT mandatory but we would appreciate the support.
It can be an item or a "credit" towards your business. It can be in any denomination you see fit. We love to share and give back to the community, as well as promote your business; and what better way to do so, than giving others a sample of just how great your products are! It is the holiday season, so please keep this mind, people are driven to places where they can receive a fun surprise- in the end its only beneficial to you. 

Giveaway items MUST be made and ready for the event AND SUBMITTED to Marissa prior to the event start time. We plan to do a live draw on Instagram live for the winner(s) a few days after the event.

GIFT BAGS:
We would love for our vendors to contribute if you wish to a swag bag (it is not mandatory but is a great way to promote your business), there will be 20 gift bags available for this market.
