Creators' Marketplace Frequently Asked Questions

How long has the show been running?

2010 marks the 2nd year of the Creators’ Marketplace Show & Sale, the first being May 31, 2009

What sort of marketing are you doing to promote the show and bring people in?

SAS Events will be utilizing many marketing channels from online to print, including local newspapers (ads/inserts), flyers and of course word of mouth (with the help of our vendors and their respective fan bases). This year, we are introducing our Vendor Promotion Incentive Program, giving exhibitors an opportunity to earn $1 for every paying person (children under 12 not included) they attract to the show.

What payment methods will be accepted at the show?

For admissions and items for sale by vendors, the universal answer is cash. There are ABMs available in the mall next door.

How are vendors selected for the show?

Vendors are selected based on quality of work, range of product, range of pricing and of course creativity! It should also be noted that anything a vendor sells must be their own creation!

Is there a limit to the amount of vendors selling items in a specific category (ie:jewellery)?

We will put a hold on vendor applications of particular mediums if we feel that they are occupying a large percentage of the show to allow for more variety.

I'm curious about the items in the Silent Auction. Where can I find a list of these prior to the show?

All Silent Auction items will be available for viewing on our site in early April. Please check back for more details
