2010 Vendor Application (.PDF) Promote The Market! Thanks to our sponsors: Feedback from Customers and Vendors: "Of all the shows we do, the Designers Downtown Market is our favorite. It’s well organized and we know we’re going to have a great turnout at each event with a steady crowd and a lot of familiar faces. The event seems to grow each time which provides a lot of new vendors and a larger turnout. With something for everyone, it’s easy to see why this event has become so successful. This was our very first show as a new vendor several years ago. Since then, we’ve become regulars and have made countless contacts with other vendors and customers. Because of the Designers Downtown Market I made enough contacts to get invited to numerous other shows throughout the year. I was shocked when a store called me unexpectedly and wanted to carry my line of products after finding them at the Designers Downtown Market. I’ve generated so many customers just through this event that I’m continually stockpiling inventory knowing that it’s all going to sell at the next show. We’ve also added dozens of customers to our database that first saw us at the DDM. This is one event you don’t want to miss." - TJ Pappas of Softwind Soap "Thank you for promoting us...This show is always my favorite Everyone is so friendly. I look forward to the next one." - Susan "Boo" Reynolds "...thank you for the last Crafter's Flea Market...it turned out to be one of the best shows I've ever done. I'm looking forward to the next show." - Lori from Loriola for Isabel's Rose "What's better than spending a few hours looking at jewelry, bags, cards, and other items that have been handmade by your friends and neighbors? It's also an excellent place to be inspired and share ideas." - Shira Easley "The Crafter's Flea Market is one of my favorite local shows, because there's always an easy-going vibe among the artists and shoppers. Thank you for helping Raleigh's local artisan scene to grow and thrive." Jenni Moore Myers, milk&honey "Thank you so much for providing a fun venue for us to showcase our arts...Every vendor seemed to provide a different signature style of craft even though there were 40 of us there. I enjoyed making some new crafting friends and seeing customers grab my extra findings that I had not used." Krista Ayscue, Jewelry by Kristalyn |
