key QUestions to Ask wHen cHoosing wHicH sHows ARe RigHt FoR yoU

The following is a list of questions to ask when determining whether a show is the right marketing tool for your work. In many cases, the answers may be found within the application for a show. If not, call and ask! When in doubt, try to visit a show before you apply. Please note that there is no endorsement implied by inclusion of listings or advertising in this publication.

How many years has the show been in existence?

How many years has the show organizer been in business?

Are the same people organizing the show as did last year?

What changes are being made from how the show was organized last year?

What was the attendance last year?

What is the advertising budget?

Where do you advertise?

How many vendors return each year?

How many vendors have booked spaces already?

What categories/media of craft are accepted?

What is not accepted?

How many vendors are accepted in my category?

What is the location like (town, city)?

What is the venue like (hall, park)?

Is the show held in several buildings - is one more desirable, better situated?

Is there plenty of parking?

Are there other events going on during the craft show (antiques, flea market, music festival, etc.). If so, are the craft booths in a separated area or integrated?

Have you ever had to cancel the show? If so, why?

Are you on site at all times if I have a problem to discuss?

What are your policies on booth rentals (non-refundable, notice of cancellation, etc.)?

Who are your sponsors, and how long have you worked with these sponsors?

key QUestions

cHecklist FoR cRAFt sHow pARticipAnts

Craft show organizers will provide you with general information upon registration, such as unloading instructions, floor plans, security, lighting, etc. When packing to participate in a craft show we suggest that you refer to the following checklist..

cHecklist

DOCUMENTS

vendor’s permit

business cards, brochures, flyers for future shows

craft show registration form

SALE EQUIPMENT

cash box and cash float

receipts and an envelope or file for storage

pocket calculator and tax table

wrapping paper, tissue and bags of all sizes geared to products

tags and adhesive labels for pricing

credit card processing equipment

DISPLAY EQUIPMENT

props, cases, shelving, stands, etc.

graphics and signage

tool kit, extension cord

plastic sheeting in case of inclement weather

lighting equipment, extra bulbs

STATIONARY SUPPLIES

paper for impromptu signs

markers, pens, paper-clips,

thumbtacks, stapler, scissors, tape,

string, glue stick and ruler

notebook

file for cards and brochures collected at the show

dusting supplies

garbage bags

address book for mailing list

PERSONAL SUPPLIES

first aid kit

can and bottle opener

tidy wipes

snacks

thermos

mirror, soap, toothbrush

chairs

money (keep your personal money separate from business funds)

There are some things you can deal with ahead of time, such as planning your display strategy. It’s a good idea to arrive early and bring at least one helper with you to assist with setting up and sales. You may want to decide on a policy regarding sales (final, no refunds, exchange only, etc.), order lead times, discounts, etc. Lastly, consider demonstrations as a means of attracting attention to your work. Of course, to do this requires planning and the necessary equipment, workers, and supplies.

NEW VENDORS WELCOME!

PRESENTED BY

Dear Vendor:

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Simcoe, it is my pleasure to welcome you back to the Simcoe Rotary

Friendship Festival (SRFF), August 3-5, 2013. The festival’s organizing committee has worked diligently

since the conclusion of the 2012 to make improvements that will ensure a better all-around experience for

our vendors.

As an organizing committee, we are well aware that when a vendor participates in our event, it's because of

the commercial benefits and opportunity to earn a living. We do want to remind you that your participation

also helps the Rotary Club of Simcoe and many other charitable groups with important fundraising initiatives

and strengthening our sense of community as a whole. On behalf of the Rotary Club of Simcoe, thank you

for continuing to participate in our event, and helping us grow and succeed.

I'm looking forward to welcoming you back again for another fun, prosperous festival.

Sincerely,

Tom O’Neill

Vendor Committee Chair

Why choose the Simcoe Rotary Friendship Festival?

Participating in the SRFF as a vendor is a worthwhile investment. In 2012, visitors were surveyed about

about their spending habits and what attractions most interest them. The survey showed that 58% of visitors

have a household income of $50,000 or more; 76% of respondents spend at least $20 at the festival; 39%

spend $50 or more; and 33% come specifically because of vendors.

Based on annual attendance of approximately 30,000 visitors, we estimate that at least $450,000 gets spent

at the event over three days on food, drinks, and merchandise, and raffles. There is money to be made!

What’s new in 2013?

Overnight security will be added to help protect vendor tents. Organizers have also worked with Norfolk

County's by-law department and elected council to ensure that last year's parking debacle is not repeated.

The club intends to reconfigure the festival's layout and add a midway in the centre of the park, move the

beer garden, and add a second stage to the south side of the festival in what has recently been the arts and

crafts section. The club is also dissolving the division between the arts and crafts and commercial vendors

in an attempt to circulate more shoppers to all participants. There will be no increase in vendor fees in

2013. We have also simplified our application and payment processes to be more convenient.

Craft Ontario programs and services range from the retail location in Yorkville, which sells and promotes member work, to the nationally-distributed Studio magazine that fosters critical dialogue in the Canadian craft community. Further programs include the 900 square foot Gallery in Toronto’s Art and Design District; the annual Craft Awards program that gives out over $25,000 to emerging, mid-career and professional craftspeople; as well as additional retail opportunities that include the annual Craft Show and Holiday Pop-Up Shop.

Craft Ontario also provides business support services that include discounts on insurance, merchant rates, health programs, and supplies, and online Export Readiness database, as well as publications like Studio, CraftFl@sh and the Annual Craft Shows Book that altogether keep over 17,000 people updated on current issues, opportunities, and resources.
