INVENTORY
It is completely up to you as to how many items and what price range to bring for the pop up shop. For this 3-week pop up, we recommend bringing 50-100 pieces.
We also recommend bringing a range of items to suit different tastes. If you have best sellers, we recommend bringing multiples of those. Best sellers for our market are mid-priced items between the $20-50 range. Higher priced items do sell, just not too many of them, and we find they help mid to lower priced items move.
Each item needs to be clearly tagged with a price and your Vendor ID that has been assigned to you. When tagging your items, please be sure to make your price the standout number. This helps shoppers not mistake a vendor number for a price number or vice versa.

RESTOCKING
We will have dedicated space for back stock during the pop up shop. Vendors are always welcome throughout the show to check on their inventory and if we find a vendor needs to restock, we will contact them directly.
INVENTORY LIST
Each vendor is required to provide an inventory list comprised of everything that will be dropped off at the pop up shop. This list should have a description of each individual item/group of like items and price. Click here for a sample inventory list you are welcome to use. Please note, the inventory list is very helpful and is used at the checkout for quick reference when a price tag has fallen off. Unfortunately we are not able to give a detailed description of each item sold.
INVENTORY IMAGES
Please email us any new images of products that you would like us to use for social promotion on Instagram, Facebook, and our website. Otherwise we will use those we find on the website(s) you provided in your application and/or your social media platforms.
PLACEMENT + DISPLAYS
Our styling team will transform the venue into a retail store placing items throughout the shop. Please make sure that all items are tagged with your Vendor ID and pricing.
If you have a unique display/fixture we would love to use it. Please email us with any pictures/questions you may have regarding this.
We love to hear any thoughts you may have regarding set up leading up to the Pop Up Shop. However, please understand that after leaving your inventory and/or fixtures with the Pop Up Shop, there is no guarantee on display and/or placement and the team will ultimately decide on placement during the event.
SIGN UP TIMES FOR INVENTORY DROP-OFF & PICK-UP
To help streamline the drop off/pick up times we’re asking that vendors sign up for the time you will be dropping off/picking up your inventory with us. We’re hoping this will make it easier for you during this very busy season.
When you open the spreadsheet, scroll down to see the available time slots. Find your preferred time and type in your name and business name to secure your spot. Sign ups are first come, first serve; only 10 vendors can drop off at each time slot, so be sure to sign up early to get your preferred time.
