Local businesses, which are members of Buy Local First Utah, may apply as vendors either to sell their products at the Market, or to advertise their products and/or services

• The Buy Local First Utah campaign seeks to promote economic and business development and will support and enhance the ability of these businesses to succeed and prosper.

• Local businesses will be restricted to once a month unless prior approval has been made, in order to allow as many businesses as possible to participate, and to afford market customers exposure to a broad range of local businesses.

Non-Profits

• Local non-profits may apply for booth space to promote their mission and to raise awareness in the community about the services and programs they offer.

• Non-profits may set up donation jars, sell products to raise money for their organization, and put out sign-up sheets to allow interested members of the public to get more involved with the organization.

 • Each non-profit will be allowed free booth space as often as they wish, with the condition that they inform through calendar of events, websites, or newsletters that they will be with us.

• All non-profits that participate in the Market are required to help further promote the Market by listing/linking the 9th West Farmers Market on their website. If a non-profit does not have a website, this does not apply.

Youth Entrepreneurs

• To qualify as a youth entrepreneur, vendors must be 17 years old or younger.

• All products sold must be created by the vendor. Resale of products is not allowed.

Yard Sale Day Vendors

On the last day of each month, we have a Yard Sale Day. Regular vendors of the market may bring yard sale items on that day each month without any extra charge. If yard sale vendor only, the fee is for your booth space, same dimensions as one of the regular vendors. No medications, partially used products, weapons, fireworks, explosives, or food items should be sold by the vendor, due to health and safety issues.

Market Entertainers and Performers

• Those wishing to do some type of performance at the market must complete the Entertainer/ Performer application, which is separate from the main Vendor Application.

• Performers who sell any performance merchandise, such as CD’s, posters or tee shirts, are responsible for their own taxes.

• Performers are allowed to put out a “tip jar” during their performance. • Performers are encouraged to bring their own signage and any other information about their performance that they would like to share with the public audience.

• A small portable PA system is available with power

Market Participation

Market Attendance and Booth Assignment

• In order to be assigned a permanent space at the Market, vendors must commit to attend the entire market, Vendors who commit to at least 15 market dates to the entire season will receive a 50% discount on the vendor fee. For those committing to 10 to 14 market dates during one season, they will receive a 30% discount. The total amount must be paid in advance.

• A permanent space is beneficial to a vendor because it creates consistency for customers, who will know exactly where to go each week to find specific products. Customers are more likely to return each week to a booth that they know will be in the same place each time.

• However, we recognize that some produce is simply not available during certain times of the season, so vendors will not be able to attend if they do not have produce that is in season.

• If you are unable to commit to all market dates, simply select the dates you will be available to attend and we will assign you a booth accordingly. However, we will not be able to guarantee that you will be given the same space at each market.

Sellers at the Booth

Items sold at the 9th West Farmers Market are to be sold by the maker, grower or artist, a family member of said maker/grower/artist, or employee of said maker/grower/artist. We feel this is important for the customer to be able to connect with the vendor and their products. Family members or farm representatives are also allowed to sell their own products at your booth. (example, if you have a booth selling crocheted items, and your child makes jewelry and wants to sell with you, it is allowed. Please make sure you list their products on the application, even if they are only going to be there a few times.) If you have a Market day where you or a member of your family/farm cannot be present, please contact the Market Management to make other arrangements. Contact information for the 9th West Farmers Market can be found on the last page of this handbook. Signage

• We strongly encourage you to make your own signs to create as strong a presentation as possible. Not only do colorful and eye-catching signs add to the visual sense of the Market, but research at Farmers’ Markets indicates that those vendors whose presentation is organized and whose signage is clear and easy to read sell more products. Also, advertise where you will be on any social media you are connected with: Facebook, Twitter, websites, calendars, and more. We will post monthly flyers on line, you are welcome to copy the flyers to your own sites and email.

Booth Aesthetics

 • Customers are more likely to patronize booths that are organized, approachable and visually appealing. This means that the more unique style that you can add to your booth to set it apart from other booths, the more likely you are to profit.

• Some helpful tips on booth display and design are available from People’s Market at any time, and are also a part of our orientation and trainings. Organic Growers
