Booth Area & Presentation For Outdoor Vendors
Everyone who is outdoors will have a 10×10 space and those spaces are setup on grass. You will have a little extra space on the sides of your tent for display if needed. You must have a canopy type tent but it can be any color you would like. All tents must be weighed down or staked. Both are preferred. No tables or chairs are provided so please have your own setup. Any and all garbage must be taken with you and disposed of. You may not sublease your space to anyone else. There’s also no sharing of a booth. The only people allowed to sell or display in your area are those whose names are shown on the registration. We ask that no one leave their booth unattended. If you need to use the bathroom or grab food, please ask someone to watch your booth for you. One of our staff would be glad to watch it for you.
Takedown & End Of Market
There are no early takedowns allowed until the market is over at 10p. If you begin taking down early, you will not be allowed to participate in any future events. We understand that each event is a long day but customers who come at the end deserve the same experience as those that came when the market first opens.
We know that everyone will want to get out as quickly as possible. With this, we will not allow any cars driving into the market area until 10:15 or later if their are still people walking around. This allows us to get all the customers out and to make sure we control traffic in a safe manner.
Food Trucks & Trailer Spots
For those of you with food trucks or a trailer spot, you will be setting up on grass. There is no power provided so please make sure to have your own generator if power is needed. There are no water hook ups either but they do have a small kitchen if you needed to fill small water jugs.
Food Vendors
Food may only be sold by pre-approved vendors. All food vendors must follow the Michigan Cottage Food Laws or be licensed. Please make sure to make a note on your registration form if your booth includes any sort of food items.
Insurance
We are not responsible for any of your items due to weather, lost, stolen or damage. We are also not responsible for any injury or bodily harm. You are responsible to carry your own insurance and have a copy of it at every market.
Severe Weather
In the event of severe weather, we may decide to postpone the market and move to a future date or worst case scenario, have to cancel that event for the year. If this happens, you are automatically into the new market date or the market the following year. If for some reason you cannot make the new date, your money will be applied to a credit on your account with us. This credit never expires and can be used for any Chic and Unique Market that we do. This information will be communicated via our Facebook vendor page and email so please join to have the most up to date information.
Cancellations
We do not provide refunds if you are unable to attend or you cancel an event. If you cancel and the event is more than 60 days away, we will then roll any money paid to a future event as a credit with us. If you cancel within 60 days of a market, you unfortunately will not receive any credit to a future event. If you do not show to a market without contacting us prior to the start of the event, you will be removed from any future markets you paid for without a refund. You also will not be able to participate in any future Made + Found Markets or any other GLP Events.
Covid Policy/Governor Orders Policy
In the event a market has to be canceled due to the COVID-19 situation, Governor orders or any other circumstances out of our control, everyone that has already paid for the market will receive a credit towards a future market of their choice. This can be any Chic And Unique market or any other event put on by GLP Events.
Customer Raffles & Giveaways
We will be doing giveaways to all of our markets on social media. If you are interested in donating a gift card to your business for a giveaway, please let us know. This is a great way to get your product in the customer’s hands and to help promote your business.

With each event having over 100 vendors, we ask you all to please help out with promoting the events. The more people that everyone brings in, the more successful everyone will be.

Goals of the Show
Each person has a different goal for the shows that we do. One thing that we highly recommend is to have fun and always stay positive. Some shows you may have great sales, other shows your sales may be slow. One thing we let everyone know is to make as many contacts and connections as possible because that is the main purpose of these shows. To promote your business and make contacts which help you sell more outside of the show. Our staff has a great sales history and will be glad to help answer any sales questions you may have.
