What I Look For in Vendors
What makes your product unique /stand out ?
Is your packaging and presentation professional?
What about pricing , is it inline with similar products in your category?
Do you make something that our store would carry ? Note: We don’t carry Children’s products or clothing.
Can you maintain appropriate inventory levels? Nothing bothers me more than a vendor who stocks once and never shows up again, changes stock or tops up.
Do you have an Instagram account/Facebook- Etsy ,TIK TOK etc… with you products on it ? If you don’t please don’t apply – I look at these to assess your crafts .
Products must be handcrafted or designed by you in some capacity. MLM’S and products purchased and repackaged as your own will not be accepted.
We do not accept or stock American Products.
If you are selling products that represent a specific culture or tradition then you must be a member of that culture.
Acceptance is not guaranteed, and some categories may be full or have limited availability.
Out of province vendors are welcome to apply. We are not responsible for costs associated with shipping products to our store or back to the vendor at the end of the contract
