We require all makers to post a minimum of 3 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.
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.
Booths: ​ ​ ​​
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. This keeps aisles open, and keeps your displays from crossing over into other people's booths. Two x 8' x 2.5' tables will not fit in a 10'x10' booth in an L shape.
