Regardless of your display, you will still only have a 6′ wide space, approximately 4.5-5′ deep.

If you’re applying to share a table with another vendor, you need to fill out this application with information in each field for BOTH of your businesses. This includes types of merchandise sold by each vendor, a website for each vendors and/or photos emailed to us for each vendor. There is no additional charge to share a table. You cannot add a second vendor to your table after you’ve applied, so only fill this out once you know for sure who you’re applying with.

Looking for a local artist for a trunk show – San Francisco – Feb 4th

January 23rd, 2012

Looking for a local artist (jewelery, earthenware, glass) that would be interetsed in setting up a vendor table during a non-profit event Feb 4th in San Francisco. I chair an annual luncheon which brings in 100-150 women. The have cocktails for an hour and then lunch. Lively bunch – they like to shop and I usually can find someone with ease who wants to sell their goods. In looking back – all the vendors that have come through are corporate sales. It would be nice to find a local artist this year. All the attendees are from the Bay Area, so you may be able to grow your business. There are no other vendors at this event – so not really any competition.

You have to have an inventory of product, not just a couple of pieces to sell. Jewelery, cosmetics, small home good, purses/handbags or glass/earthenware would be a perfect fit. Last year $1000 of product was sold by a Home Party Jewelery company. The hook is you donate 20% of sales back to the non-profit. Shoot me an email if you fill the bill. It’s about four hours of work.
