Maker Features:

​​​​​

  • Every vendor will be featured on our website with a product photo and your business name.

  • With 200 plus makers between the 2 markets, we are committed to posting at least one product feature for each accepted maker, and one feature on our Instagram highlights + stories.

Booth Requirements:

​​​​​

  • We jury based on well branded and put together booth displays.  Placing items on top of a table top alone will not be accepted.  We want to see your creativity.

  • Please keep your booth set up until market hours are over.  Packing up early will result in not being invited back to Inspirations Market in the future.

  • Please stay within your booth's tape markings.

  • We do not want to see any storage boxes, bins, or personal items visible in your booth.  This makes for a top notch shopping experience for our shoppers.

  • If you have a table type display, please make sure your table coverings are all the way to the floor to hide any items under the table.

  • All displays must be secure and safe.

  • All makers are required to report any damages to the property, and to keep your booth clean throughout the event.  Inspirations will not be held responsible for damages.

  • Tapes and carpet adhesives are discouraged. The Red River Ex only approves of Scapa double coated polyethylene tape for use in the installation of carpeting in booths. Any tape residue must be completely removed by the exhibitor during egress/move-out.

  • Please dispose of any garbage from your booth to the bins behind Red River Ex Place after show hours on Saturday + Sunday. 

​​​​

  • There is very minimal shared storage behind 10x10 booths, and no storage behind 10x5 booths.  If you would like to rent additional storage, please let us know at the time of acceptance.  Otherwise, please find creative ways to include hidden storage into your booth.  It is important to us to have all boxes, bins, and personal items out of sight during market hours to make sure the event looks well put together for our shoppers.

Storage:
Maker Posts:

​​​​

  • We require all makers to post a minimum of 2 times in advance to show time to help spread the word.  We advertise extensively both in time and financially, and this helps get the word out there even more.  Thank you so much in advance!

  • We also love to see our ticket link added to your Instagram bio, and our ticket link posted to your Facebook about a month in advance to market time.  More info to follow.

Additional Important Info:

​​​​

  • Disrespect towards event staff or other makers will not be tolerated.  We are here to help, and we are on your side!  If any rude behaviour at our events should occur, we have the right to ask that vendor to leave with no refund.

  • Admission for shoppers will be $8.

  • We reserve the right to ask you to only bring certain products and leave some out to accommodate other accepted vendors, and crossover of categories.  We prefer a booth with one main theme.  Such as all knits, or all jewelry, etc.

  • We have the right to grow Inspirations Market and add markets at any time during 2025.  As makers ourselves, we will always keep your best interest in mind.  At this time, no further events for 2025 are in the works.
