Wondering how many buyers have come to this in the past? Also, I think I understand the application, but want to make sure. If accepted, you only attend one day as a seller - not both and you tell us which day to come? Please let me know at info@thesilverdiva.com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrissa, Thanks for the questions. At our very first winter show ( which was planed and advertised in 1 1/2 months) we guesstimated about 650 buyers. The spring show was about the same and we are expecting even more for the next shows. Most of my vendors, even the established vendors, had their best day in craft show sales ever for the winter market!!!:) And yes your acceptance in the show if for one of the two days unless the jury decides they would like you for both days. There is a question on the application where you can let us know which day you would like to do:) I am looking forward to reading your application and please let me know if you have any more questions! Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteDo you have photos from your last craft show? I am a crocheter trying to get a business off the ground through word of mouth, mostly. I have everything I have made on my Pinterest page. No etsy. I just feel like there is too much on Etsy already for me to compete with it. I have done a couple of craft shows and am doing a very small farmer's market on Saturdays this summer. This show of your sounds interesting and I wonder if it would be for me.

Are either of these venues handicap accessible? I am in a wheelchair and don't want to apply and then find out that it isn't accessible for me.

Replied on FB but just so everyone knows, there is a ramp and the venue is working on another!
DeleteWhy are you charging a booth fee and a commision percentage?
ReplyDeleteALL of the $30 booth fee goes to the advertising and expenses of the show. The 15% goes to those putting it on. The % is like "we only get paid.. if you get paid" lol this helps everyone win:) Please email me if you would like more detail on that:)

Here is a little more info to explain better:
DeleteThanks for the question! The spot fee of $30 goes to all the advertising and expenses of the show (a lot:) The 15% goes to the people running the show. We chose to do it this way because we are a new show (this is our 3rd/4th with both dates)and we thought that this would be less of a "risk" for a vendor trying out the show verses paying a large fee of a $100. So if for some reason you do not do well at the show (which had rarely ever been the case) you are only out $30 and the 15% on what you sold, you wont be trying to make up for $100 all around fee. Getting paid in commission also keeps the show working very hard on bringing people in, coming up with new fresh ideas, and keeping everyone happy:) Does that make since? If it helps,our vendors have been very please with their sales from the show are are excited to come back! Which speaks volumes:) I hope this has helped and that we see your application soon:)
Do you have to do both days? And is it 30.00 per day?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the question! No you dont have to do both days. There is a place on the online application for you to indicate what date(s) work for you:)
DeleteI have never done a show that had % commission and a booth fee. why are you doing that? %15 seems high
