💳 Payment Options
Vendors are encouraged to accept multiple payment methods (cash, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, etc.) to help customers make purchases easily.
👕 Branding & Booth Quality
Keep your booth presentable. We want attendees to feel like they’re walking into a quality experience.
Branding your booth (banners, logo signs, table covers) is highly encouraged.
🧠 Sales Are On You
We’ll help get foot traffic in the building, but you’re responsible for moving your inventory.
Rarely do items sell themselves. No refunds whatsoever on tables during or after any show. Your energy, setup, and how you engage with potential customers matters. If you’re sitting back on your phone, you’re gonna miss opportunities. Greeting and Communication is key.
“If they like you, they’ll listen. If they trust you, they’ll buy.” – Jordan Belfort

Vendors may be removed from the event at staff discretion for violations, disruptive behavior, or safety concerns.
Vendors are highly encouraged to read sales books or tips to improve their selling skills. Try new things, test things out.
By purchasing a table, you agree to all the above.
