This package contains information as to what you will need to get started with us. 

 

We want to thank you for joining us in this journey and we can't wait to see you grow your business with us. 

Whether you are just starting out and this is your first time in retail, or you are more experienced we will

support your time with us!

 

SPACES 

Your designated space is your area to showcase your product in a way that aligns with your branding. 

You can maximize your space using your own displays within your space (display risers, jewelry stand etc).

You cannot make any colour changes to your space or drill anything onto shelves or sides and walls etc. 

 

You are responsible for delivering and arranging products to us and for maintaining stock. 

If you want us to arrange / display your products we will be happy to do so as well.

 

You are responsible for putting pricing on all of your products.

 

There will be reusable colour coded discount signs (10-50% off) that we use for all vendor sales to keep

consistency and visible to customers. 

 

We ask if you can try to use less packaging on containers and or products that don’t require extra

(cellophane / ribbons etc) to showcase them clearly and to be more conscious of the environment. 

We also understand that some items will be packaged this way due to the nature of the product. 

 

GIFT BASKET PROGRAM 

Each Vendor has an option to enroll into our gift basket program!

This is another great opportunity to showcase and sell your products!

In store gift baskets are available in denomination values and also by theme.

 

Cost per vendor is a minimum 15% off your product or service. 

This allows for packaging, time for creating the baskets and for local delivery options. 

We will have pre made baskets as well as custom made during the holiday seasons.

Overstock is important to have as it allows us to help keep your space filled with stock between your visits. 

We will pull from your bin as your products start to get low. 

All vendors can have an overstock bin (supplied by you no bigger then 40L).

Your bin must be a clear bin with a lid and it must be clearly labeled on the side with your Business Name and Code.

This is NOT tax.

We pay you 100% of the sales you make. You are responsible for collecting and paying any applicable t

axes for your business, your price needs to incorporate/ include any of the applicable taxes.

The 13% fee is charged to the Customer - Not to you.

This fee pays for things like housekeeping, general checkout packaging, as well as any service fees from

the POS, and it helps to keep the cost of your monthly space rental down as well.

 

We will Not accept any exchanges or returns.

Since each individual business has their own policies regarding exchanges or returns, customers will be

directed to you personally for any issues regarding your product directly. 

We will have a sign at the checkout so that it is clear to the customer. 

You will be responsible for handling any

exchanges/returns directly with the customer. If you choose to refund your product you will need to include

the 13% processing fee that they have paid upon checkout.

 

SPECIAL REQUEST/ORDERS

If your business offers custom pieces that are included in your inventory and would like to use the store

as a pickup location, we will have a small area in the back dedicated for this use.

You can also use this space if a customer requests to have something put aside for them.

When dropping an item off for a specific customer you will need to clearly mark

the item with the customers name, approximate date for pick up.

(This item must be listed in your inventory)

You will also need to sign our paperwork that you have left an item for

pick up.

 

PACKAGING

We will supply all final sales packaging, such as generic bags and tissue.

Should your product require any brand specific protective packaging that

you would like us to use (E.g. mug box, jewelry bag or box ) you will be required

to provide this, and our staff will use this to package your product

as per your instructions.

 

RESTOCK

We are flexible, let us know when you do so.

 

PAYOUT

​

Any discrepancies with your payout should be discussed in confidence via email, so that we can resolve the issue.

We reserve the right to hold any payout, if your membership payment is outstanding.

 

First and foremost, we want to make sure you are following us Facebook and Instagram.

We will do regular Instagram posts with your products and will add you as a collaboration partner in posts

( please ensure to accept our collaboration posts vice versa ).

​

Following, sharing and liking other vendor posts on social media is a very effective way of boosting the

exposure of our collective community as a whole. This in turn creates more potential customers for all vendors.

Following, sharing and liking our social media also helps boost the exposure of all the vendors within our community. 

When the store is succeeding - you are succeeding.

 

LOGO USE 

We give you permission to use the our logos on your social media to advertise that you are a vendor or doing a workshop in our store. 

 

INSURANCE 

Vendors are responsible for obtaining insurance any and all necessary permits, product labels, health and safety

designations, liability waivers in accordance with government regulations for the chosen goods that are being sold,

if applicable. (ex. Dine safe, Food handlers permit, textiles, etc.).

 

THEFT PREVENTION 

When selling in retail, theft is always a possibility. 

However, to limit the possibility of items being stolen we suggest that you make it difficult for someone to easily

take your item (ex. Jewelry should be on jewellery cards, in small packaging, in boxes, on a rack). 

These things make it harder for someone to easily steal an item vs a loose item in a basket. 

We are not responsible for your products should anything happen.

 

We will be diligent in monitoring the store, and if we notice any suspicious activity, if needed we will alert the police. 

We also have video surveillance installed outside and inside.
