Vendors are encouraged to provide items for VIP and Welcome bags, as well as Giveaway goodies throughout the weekend.
Approved vendors are allowed to self-promote inside of the Sewcations by Sew Bestie Facebook group at will.
All Vendors receive promotions, website links, shout-outs on social media and email marketing, photo signs posted in event halls and printed programs on event weekend. Approved vendors also receive 10 Shopping Pass tickets to give away to their followers!
Sewing Lounge remains inside of the Vendor Hall, available for all attendees to be drawn in all day long. Also, Events and Meet Ups will generally be taking place in the main vendor hall. After Vendor Hall Hours are complete, the sewing lounge will close while the Entire Vendor Hall is closed and locked until the next day. Vendors will be allowed into the hall up to 90min before open hours to finish any set up needed for the day, and the hall closes to all bodies, except Sew Bestie Staff, 30 min after Hall closes.

*Vendors are expected to have their booth open and available to attendees for the duration of OPEN vendor hall hours. We recommend having at least 2 people in your booth so that you can relieve each other for breaks/lunch etc. We do have staff and you will have vendors nearby (if you'd like to be near another specific vendor for help, please let us know) just in case something comes up. Communication is key, please let us know if there is something you need help with!
