Our night-time Christmas Sale will be December 9th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, everything in the store is 20% OFF.  Start telling your friends and customers!!!!  An information sheet is attached to this newsletter.  If you have any questions see Bonnie.
We have several new vendors, so if you see new faces, smile and say “hello”!
Store Display: The displays will change right after Christmas to a winter/snowman theme.  Just a reminder about the display… If you have things you think will go with the theme, let us know, and we will get them in the display
A note to think about!!!! Please remember!!! If you are renting a 2x booth, please keep your items within the 2 feet!! ETC. ETC.  There is way too much spill over into the aisles!  (I really do not want to mention names!!!)
A big reminder!!! Please do not put broken glass in the trash without first wrapping it in paper.  It causes a multitude of problems, the least of which is the tearing of the trash bags!!!
If you have boxes or bags of items you have removed from your booth, please take them home.  We are having a hard time maneuvering in some of the back areas of the store due to vendor’s items.  We really do not have the room for you to store your items.  Thank you for your consideration.
Please do not leave the newspaper wrappings from your boxes, we have an OVERABUNDANCE!!!!
It has been suggested that we hold a “Dicker with the Dealer” night.  Several of you think it sounds like a fun thing to do!! AND, it’s a great way to boost sales in the slow time of the year. It is not a required sale event!  Only those interested need attend and participate, BUT, the more participation we have, the more effective and better for the customers.  We will begin about 4 PM and go until 6 or 7 PM.  You will be the one that sets the lowest price you will accept.  Vendors will be in or around their ooths, and we will supply a form for you to fill out for the sales counter. We will probably have some snacks and of course the hot drinks.
Reminders:
• REMEMBER!!! The calendar comes out one month early, PLEASE get signed up as soon as you can.  WE CANNOT be without coverage in the store!!! But PLEASE remember not to sign up where I have not allowed for time slots and please do not sign up before the calendar is ready
• Anniversary rent credit! 10% off your rent during your anniversary month!
• If you cannot work your time due to weather or illness, please contact us as soon as possible (even at home)!  We will try and reschedule with you
• Upstairs space is for LARGER items (larger than a tote basket).  Please remember to keep your smaller items downstairs as we do not have the security upstairs that we do downstairs!
• Rent is due on the 1st of the month, payable up to the 10th and late with a $10 late fee after that date
• A thirty day written notice is required when you are vacating your booth at the end of the month.  This applies when you are leaving after your initial six months OR at any other time after your 6 month commitment is over. Written notice MUST be given on or before the 1st of the month you are leaving the store
• Don’t forget about the “finder’s fee” bonus when you sponsor a new vendor for the store.  See Bonnie or Scott for more information.

Scott’s Thoughts: Subbing, Subbing, Subbing!
