APPLICATION AND REGISTRATION

Due to the high demand and space limitations for vendors at our new location at The Park Expo & Conference Center, we are now using an Application & Registration process for all vendors. Please review the details below and send any questions to marketing@charlottemultiples.com. 

This new process is the most beneficial for vendors by having only one of each category of business whose products and/or services correlate with the audience of our sale - families, children, etc.  It also ensures we have a variety of vendors and prevents redundancy in product and/or service offerings.

 

Application Procedure:

The online application will be available starting Friday, December 28, 2012.  The deadline for submission is Friday, January 4, 2013.  The application is not complete until you submit the form and see the confirmation page.

The Vendor application period is now closed.  If you submitted an application on or before January 4, 2013, you will be receiving an email a) letting you know if you've been selected and b) if selected, how to register and pay the vendor fee.  

 

Registration:  

On Monday, January 7, 2013, all approved vendors will be notified to complete the registration process and submit payment online through PayPal by Friday, January 11, 2013. If an approved vendor has not completed registration and made payment by this date, the next applicant in line will be notified and given 3 business days to complete registration and payment.

This application process allows us to ensure guidelines are met (see below) with no duplication of vendors. 

 

Fees (nonrefundable)

Vendor Fee - $75

Table Rental Fee - $10
