Here's an overview of what to expect during the application process:
APPLICATION. Submit your application to begin the process.
QUALIFICATION REVIEW. Within about 1 week, you will receive an email indicating whether you're qualified to be a vendor (suitable product type, etc.). You may also be put on a waitlist with no deposit due.
DEPOSIT. If qualified, you will receive a bill for a deposit of $140 per market location. This covers the minimum of 4 dates required for all vendors, and must be paid within two weeks. This deposit will be returned ONLY if we can't find at least 4 dates for you.
SCHEDULING. Once the deposit is received, some vendors may be contacted about adjustments to their schedule or product list. This is so we can have a good balance of products at each market date, without excessive competition. If it's not possible to find at least 4 dates that work for you and BAMM, your deposit will be returned.
ACCEPTANCE. Once your dates have been accepted, you will receive a final confirmation of your approved dates and products, as well as a bill for half of your remaining balance. The bill will be sent on 3/15 and due on 4/1. This payment is non-refundable. We'll also ask for insurance documents and promotional information. If you are not accepted, your deposit will be returned at this point. This will be no later than March 15th. When all of the above is complete, you will be CONFIRMED as a vendor!
FINAL PAYMENT. Your final bill will also be sent on 3/15 and due on 5/15. This final payment is non-refundable.
LATE PAYMENTS. Late payments may result in forfeiture of your space with no refund.
CHANGES. Any dates added during the season must be pre-approved and paid for at least one week in advance.
PAYMENT PLANS. If your total due for the season is over $400, you can request a structured payment plan. A minimum of $400 will be due prior to the start of the season, and four structured payments must be made by September 1st.
