STOP Do not apply if you do not have, and are not able to obtain insurance.
Early Applications are due by April 1st. It is recommended to apply early because we limit the number of competing vendors.
Late Applications are accepted after April 1st, with less scheduling flexibility.
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 $180 per market location. This covers the minimum of 5 dates required for all vendors, and must be paid within two weeks. This deposit is nonrefundable UNLESS your application is not accepted.
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 five 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, which must be paid within two weeks. This payment is non-refundable. If you are not accepted, your deposit will be returned at this point. We'll also ask for insurance documents and promotional information at this point. This will be no later than April 15th. When all of the above is complete, you will be CONFIRMED as a vendor!
FINAL PAYMENT. Your final payment is due prior to the start of the market season. This final payment is non-refundable.
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 $500, you can request a structured payment plan. A minimum of $500 will be due prior to the start of the season, and four structured payments must be made by September 1st.
