Important Guidelines for Applicants
1. Maintain a Boutique Aesthetic
We aim for a high-end retail feel rather than a traditional flea market. Your space should be visually organized and aesthetically pleasing. Creativity in your display is highly valued.
2. Booth Imagery is Required
Applications must include photos of your full booth layout. Pictures of individual items are not sufficient for review. If you have not built your display yet, please provide inspiration photos that represent your vision.
3. Display Responsibility
Vendors supply all their own fixtures, including shelving, signage, and decorative elements. We suggest visiting Olive and Sampson Co-op Artisan Marketplace in person to see our current vendor setups.
4. Inventory Management
To ensure a great customer experience, vendors must keep their booths well-stocked and tidy. We ask that you replenish items regularly to avoid empty displays.
5. Seasonal Themes
We keep our atmosphere fresh with seasonal refreshes throughout the year. Vendors are expected to update their displays to align with our collective holiday and seasonal themes.
6. No Shift Requirements
You are not required to work at the store. Our staff manages the point of sale and daily operations, giving you more time to focus on sourcing and creating.
7. Commission-Free Sales
We do not take a percentage of your sales. While credit card processing fees are deducted from payouts, all other profits belong to you. Detailed fee structures are available in the vendor agreement.
Rental Terms Overview
- Lease terms involve a three-month minimum commitment, transitioning to month-to-month thereafter.
- Initial payment includes the first month’s rent at acceptance, with the final month’s rent due at move-in.
- Vendors are required to have an EIN tax ID or SS # to report income
- All merchandising and booth maintenance are the responsibility of the vendor.
- Applications are carefully vetted to ensure a cohesive product mix; submission does not guarantee a slot.
