FAQ's:
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL! ALL APPROVALS WILL BE REPLIED TO VIA EMAIL. IF YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING AFTER SUBMITTING, EMAIL ME BELOW. :-)
What is the cost to be a vendor?
There is a $35 charge for each 10x10 space. If you are APPROVED, you will receive an email with a link to pay.
PAYMENT IS DUE UPON APPROVAL - PLEASE PAY WITHIN 24 HOURS OF APPROVAL TO MAKE OUR LIVES JUST A LITTLE EASIER AND SO WE DON'T HAVE TO CHASE YOU DOWN.
NOTE: WE RECOMMEND PURCHASING AHEAD OF TIME! After you apply and get approved, you can choose multiple months in the shopping cart. You do not have to apply for each month you want to vend.
In order to be successful, you have to be consistent and customers have to keep seeing you over and over. If you just come one time, it's not very effective because every month is different!
Do you take a % of sales?
No.
What types of things may I sell?
Art, handcrafted items, stickers, prints, vintage clothing, handmade jewelry, contained food (salsas, jerky, nuts) ...if you have a question, just ask. You can DM us or email dene@holtxpalm.com .
What types of things are prohibited?
Anything illegal, drug related, overtly sexual, offensive or political, cheap store bought items, stuff you'd see at a swapmeet. Food x Drink items need to be approved beforehand. If you have questionable items, please upload them for review.
Can I promote my business?
Yes! You don't have to sell something at a promotional booth. You can promote a business and give out flyers, coupons, sign-up customers, etc.
Where is the event located?
"Holt x Palm" retail shop is the hub of the event as well as surrounding streets. We are located at:
115 S Palm Avenue, Ontario 91762
What are the event times?
5-10PM - Note: We know it's a long day and some events are busier than others but it is NOT PROFESSIONAL to start breaking down or leave prior to close at 10pm. Have you ever gone into a restaurant and they are open but are cleaning around you and putting chairs on the table around you? So rude. Don't be that business! Staying until close is the commitment.
When is set-up time?
2-4pm is when vendors may drive their cars into the lot and load-in. Any vendor arriving after 4pm will not be permitted to set-up and all vehicles must be out of the lot by 4pm. Please note:
What do I do when I arrive?
It's first come, first serve. Check in with the attendent who will advise you of where to set up. If you want to be next to another vendor, you need to come together.
What do you provide vendors?
We provide a 10x10 space for you to vend and make money! YOUR BRING THE CUSTOMERS! If every vendor committed to just 10 customers, there would be hundreds of people walking around all night.
What do I need to bring?
You will provide your 10x10 black, white or branded canopy, set-up, tables, chairs, battery powered lights, etc. Anything you need to exhibit and sell your products is up to you to provide. Make your booth look good! Presentation is EVERYTHING.
When do we need to load out?
The event ends at 10pm. Vendors will be allowed to load out once guests are cleared from the parking lot. No vehicles are allowed in the lot between 5pm and 10:15pm.
How many people come to the event?
That depends...how many people are you bringing?
How well and often are you marketing?
What type of social media following and engagement do you have?
Please note, we do not do your marketing for you...you are here to do our marketing. So, each business should start posting about upcoming events and super, super heavy starting on the Wednesday prior to the 3rd Saturday.
If every business does their marketing well and often, we should be a force to be reckoned with every 3rd Saturday.
XOXO.
Mia, Damien, Dene and all the 3rd Saturdays in DTO team :-)
