Vendor Question #3: Cost of a booth or sponsorship and booth information

The cost of a booth will be $50 for each booth. If you were a vendor last year you get a $10 discount.
Booth size will be: 8x6 (8 feet wide and 6 feet deep)

The cost of a sponsorship will be $100 and if you were a sponsor last year you get a $10 discount.
Sponsorship booths will be places in the highest traffic areas and the size will be: 16x6 (16 feet wide and 6 feet deep)

If you are a non-profit or educational group please contact us. You may qualify for a reduced cost or even free booth. (Email us HERE)


Further information for booths:

1. We need all your paperwork and fees 7 days before the Fling.

2. You are required to provide tables, chairs and other items needed for your booth.

3. All booths must look professional and be "child friendly" as there will be many little ones in attendance.

4. We will open the school at 8:30 am for you to set up. Everyone must be fully ready for attendees by 9:45am.
5. Power will be provided for you. Please bring tape  and cords for anything that needs power and please tell us if you need power so we can place you accordingly.
6. When you arrive on the day of the Fling, please drop the candy and eggs off when you check in. We are only requiring 1 bag from each vendor, but we won't refuse more than that.  And remember, the larger the bag, the better. We anticipate a large group of kids at the egg hunt and we do not want to run out of candy please.  We want this to go off well in order to gain a good reputation so we can have even more successful events in the future!

 7. We strongly urge you to provide a door prize for the egg hunt. It can be geared towards kids or adults or you can do one of each. It doesn't need to be huge, but the more door prizes we have, the more people we will get in the building after the hunt.
8. We have approximately 100 goodie bags to hand out and we strongly urge you to give us something to put in the bags, be it coupons, business cards, brochures... anything to help people learn more about your business. We need those items for the bags 7 days before the event so we have time to stuff bags.

9. Please help get the word out about this event. Use your social media (blog, facebook, twitter etc), use the poster and fliers that we will email you in your stores and tell everyone you talk to about this event. We will have a huge event if we all get the word out.

10. We are going to be selective as to what booths (and how many similar type booths) we have. So, if you want a booth, we suggest contacting us quickly as it will be a first come first serve situation. Email us at IdahoBabywearers@gmail.com or call Angela at 745-1497  to reserve your booth immediately.


***One last note: We can lead a horse to water, but we can't make them buy anything from you. We will do our best to get as many people to this event as possible and with your help in getting the word out, we forsee a huge event. But our focus is education, not sales so let us know how to help you, but realize we can't make people purchase things. However, if you utilize the ways we have listed (and will continue to list as we think of them) to attract people to your booth be believe you will see the benefits long after the Fling is over.***
