Heritage market
Hey friends! We are gearing up for our bi-annual Heritage Market and here are some key things you need to know!
Who?
Participation as a vendor/seller is open to current & former Heritage Staff, Stirring staff, and close friends of Heritage.
What?
This is much like a closet sale, but in addition to clothing & accessories, you are welcome to bring home goods, small furniture(as space permits), plants, and handcrafted items.
When?
August 15th & August 16th during business hours. Fri: 7AM-3PM & Sat: 8AM-3PM
Where?
Our Churn Creek Location mainly on the patio and in some of our indoor space.
How to participate!
The Market is organized by types of items- not by sellers collections, as this provides the best shopping experience! This means your items will be intermingled with others items. As we do not have hangers to provide to you, if you would like to keep your hangers - please put something unique on them to identify them as yours. This could be a specifically colored tape or something with your initials written on them.
We have a limited amount of clothing racks and tables that we are able to provide. If you have a clothing rack, please bring it! If the amount of clothing you are bringing exceeds half a rack, we need you to contribute your own rack. Additionally, if you plan to bring many items that require being displayed on a table top[jeans, shoes, home decor, books, etc] we ask that you try to source a table of some kind to contribute. The easier it is for guests to browse, the more likely they will find the things they would like to purchase…aka, more money made!
Tagging is SO important. If you want to get paid, you must tag your clothing properly. Similar to the hangers - your tags need to be unique to you and fixed to the clothing. This can be done with a price tagging gun or something like safety pins. When it comes to clothing and fabric, stickers can fall off. If stickers fall off - especially when guests want to go try an item on, we can’t know who's it is. Additionally, tags should not be attached to the hanger, because once again, if a guest removes the item from the hanger - we can not know the price or seller.
Items must be brought on Thursday evening, August 14th, starting at 4 PM for set up.(We ask that you stay long enough to get YOUR items sorted) All items then have to be pickup starting at 3 PM on Saturday, August 16th. As soon as the Market ends at 3PM we will be organizing items based on sellers to help with clean up/pick up. Even still, expect that picking up your items may take 30-45 minutes, as they may be still intermixed with other sellers.
To participate, you MUST come to Thursday night set-up and Saturday afternoon clean up.
Alyssa and Hannah are planning to be at the Market as hosts for the duration of the event—to help guests, manage money, and keep things running smoothly. This is not a paid shift and does require a time commitment. The Market will need to be set up on the patio each morning and moved back inside at the end of the day.
If you do not work for Heritage but are planning to participate as a seller, we ask that you commit to an additional set up or tear down time as we are not asking for any participation fees. If you do work for Heritage and could show up for one of these additional times, we would greatly appreciate the help. Let us know which time you could help out in the form below!
How does payment work? We will be accepting cash, Venmo/Cash App, & CC Payments through Square. We will be running ALL purchases through Square for record keeping. This will allow us to sell items on your behalf and pay out each seller accurately. After the Market is over it may take us 3-5 days to get all the money sent to all the sellers.
Have any other questions? Ask them in the form below and Hannah will get back to you with an answer!
