Hello, vendors!

After you submit your application, you will receive an automated response notifying you that we received your application. If this doesn’t arrive in your inbox within 10 minutes, check your spam folder. This email is confirmation that we received your application and it has been filed for review. You will not receive a phone call or personal email from us until we have a space that becomes available. 

First, make sure your pictures are the correct file size. There is a link on the application that can help you do this. If you do this and your application still does not send, you can send the requested information to unlistedmarket.vendorapp@gmail.com

Applications are reviewed based on available openings, which may be immediately or may be 6 months from now. If your product is a great match for Makers Market, we will contact you when we have the appropriate opening.

We will contact you if we decide to move forward with your application and set up a personal meeting. If you haven’t heard from us it could mean one of several things: your product may not be the best fit for Makers Market, or your product may not be the right fit for our store at the present moment, or we may not currently have the proper space available for your product.

Space availability is always changing, and each space is designed for a specific type of product. We work to place vendors strategically within the store for the benefit of both vendors and shoppers. Only once we’ve reviewed an application and set up an appointment to move forward will we disclose the spaces that are a good match for a specific vendor and product.

Vendors in our mall locations pay a monthly rental fee as well as a commission on sold items. Pricing varies throughout the store depending on the size and location of the space. Only once we’ve reviewed an application and set up an appointment to move forward will we disclose the pricing on the spaces that are a good match.

Yes, the store keeps a small commission in addition to the monthly rent payment. This commission pays for things like the trained staff, advertising, and the materials necessary to operate the front desk and sell vendors’ products. In addition to the store commission, a portion of that commission is remitted to the mall per our agreement with them. 

The initial commitment required is 6 months, and then continues on a month-to-month basis.

Vendors are required to abide by their contracts, manage an attractive appearance of their booth space, engage in communication with the staff when necessary, and take responsibility for their product and sales.

No, vendors are not required (or ever expected) to work the registers because we have trained staff who work the floor and manage the sales at the register. Our philosophy behind this is two-fold:

• Offering higher quality customer service to our shoppers by improving product knowledge and communication among workers, customers, and vendors

• Allowing vendors the necessary time to focus on what they love doing: making awesome product and creating gorgeous displays to sell their product

Out of fairness to our vendors who rent on a monthly basis, we do not accept vendors for events only.
