Here are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions:
How much is a vendor space and what is included for the price?
There are two types of vendor spaces - a regular space with an 8' x 2 1/2' table and two chairs is $75. There are also a limited number of larger 10'x10' spaces which also include an 8' x 2 1/2' table and two chairs for $100. If you need more room we suggest you get the larger space. There is also a 10% commission of your total gross sales payable at the end of the show.
Can I share a table?
Yes, you can but we do charge a $15 fee to cover each additional vendor's permit. We also need a completed application, photos and California Seller's Permit from each person sharing the table.
What is required to participate?
• 2-3 digital images at least 350 dpi (approximately 2"x2")
Acceptance into the Red Rabbit Market is based on the quality of your images and your work. If necessary, we may require additional explanation or images of your work.
Our goal is to present a range of distinctive pieces throughout the show. We encourage you to submit quality images if you would like to be considered for our postcard, press release or website.
• Mail the 2 page application with a check (you may mail a CD of images).
• Print photographs are not acceptable.
• Show is filled first come, first serve.
• Jewelry is a limited category and fills up quickly.
What's this about goody bags & teaching workshops?
***This is important*** Red Rabbit Workshop is about teamwork and helping each other succeed while having fun. We want you to do well not just during the show but after too! So we need everyone to step up and participate in one of the following ways:
1) You can donate 50 little goodies (we’ll give you ideas later) for the goody bags, OR
2) You can lead a short ½ hour hands-on workshop or craft project for 8 – 10 visitors. The craft does not have to be in your medium of expertise. We can reimburse you up
to $10 for materials so be creative and think of an inexpensive but fun project!
We will make swatch books of vendors’ business cards. (they really are cute!) We
need 130 business cards: 50 go in the goody bags, 75 to vendors and extra cards for the press. And we have low-cost card ideas for you, too.
Do I need a California Seller's Permit?
Yes, you do. You can download an application here: http://www.boe.ca.gov/info/reg.htm
Each vendor is responsible for reporting and paying their own sales tax to the State Board of Equalization. You must submit a copy of your permit before the show and this may be done once you have been notified of acceptance into the show.
Is electricity available?
Yes. Please indicate on the application if you require it.
What about refunds?
Once accepted into the show, a full refund less $25 administrative fee will be given if vendor cancels by May 1, 2010. Absolutely NO REFUNDS after May 1, 2010.
Those not accepted into the show will get their original checks back.
