The Application Process ~

We expect you to put your best foot forward with your booth setup. Photo submissions are used in making final decisions. We are a retail show, and do not allow wholesaling at our events. We limit direct sales companies. Vendors are chosen by a selection committee. We may call or email you with questions about your products. Please note: We may ask you to remove items that were not included in your contract.
3. Once the committee has reviewed the applications, you will receive an email informing you if your business has been approved. If approved, you have 48 hours to pay for your vendor space. All payments are final. No refunds will be given for cancellations or no shows. Vendor shall not share, lease, sublet, assign, offer for use, or otherwise convey any portion of its vendor space to any individual, partnership, corporation, company, firm or entity, without the prior written consent of KissieMe Ventures, LLC.
4. Due to the promptness of our review and acceptance of merchants, it is important to submit your contract and corresponding photos early, and at the same time. Those that submit their paperwork at a later date, may run the risk of a show being sold out, or their product category already being filled. We may limit specific categories or types of products sold at the event.
