Once you receive this email you need to pay your booth fee (see below) by the 15th of the previous month (i.e. for the February 5th show, you will need to pay by January 15th). We will then discuss with you where you would like to set up your display.
Returning Vendors:
If you've shown with IHR before then all you need to do is:
-
Send in your payment by the 15th of the previous month (i.e. pay by January 15th if you're applying for the February 5th show). See below for information on how to pre-pay.
-
Tell us your preference of where you would like to set up your display.

How do I prepay for my booth space?
Pay via PayPal (send your payment to iheartrummage@hotmail.com)
When can I sign up for the next show?
The registration period for IHR is the first two weeks of the month prior to the show (i.e. for the March 5th show, you must sign up between February 1st and February 15th). Spaces will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. In order to reserve your space you must prepay when you sign up (see above info on how to prepay).
How are booth spaces assigned?
Booth spaces are assigned based on a number of factors. Vendors that sign up first get first choice in where they would like to set up their displays. We will also be taking into account what makes sense for each vendor given her or his individual product needs. For example, clothing vendors often want to be near the restrooms (changing rooms) and have clothing racks to contend with. Some vendors' products work better in the front room, some need counter space, some need just a small table, etc. We will work on optimal placement for all vendors but cannot guarantee you will get your first choice. Remember that the earlier you sign up (between the 1st and the 15th), the better chance you have of getting the booth space you want.
What is the benefit of pre-assigned booth spaces?
Configuring the booth space layout ahead of time means that vendors don't have to come early the day of the event and compete for spaces. Vendors can set up later in the morning and will know ahead of time exactly where they will be setting up.
Why do I need to pre-pay?
Having vendors pre-pay ahead of time decreases the likelihood of people no-showing the day of the event. It also lets us know exactly who will be in the show so that we can complete the necessary license paperwork for the City of Seattle (which must be finished prior to the event).
Can I get a refund for my booth fee?
The cut-off day for having your booth fee refunded is the Wednesday before the show (i.e. for the March 5th show we'd need to have your cancellation by Wednesday, March 1st). If you need to cancel and contact us via email by the Wednesday before the show we will fully refund your booth fee. If you cancel after Wednesday your booth fee will not be refunded.
How does the waitlist work?
Vendors who pay their booth fee after the show is full will be placed on the waitlist in the order their payment was received. As cancellations come in we will accept vendors from the waitlist. If we are unable to get a vendor in, i.e. there are not enough cancellations, then the vendor can choose to either have the booth fee completely refunded or applied towards a future show.
How many jewelry vendors do you accept per show?
There is a limit of 6 jewelry vendors per show. It is suggested that jewelry vendors apply as early as possible in the registration period if they want to get accepted to a show.
Do I bring my own table?
If your space is in the Main room you will need to bring your own table (maximum size of 4 feet wide by 2 feet deep). If your space is in the back room you can use one of the tables provided.
Do I need a City of Seattle business license?
Yes, but you can still show with IHR even if you do not have a City of Seattle business license. However, you will need to pay an additional $5 (to cover the fee charged to IHR by the City of Seattle). Click here to find out more and to download an application.
What are the criteria for becoming a vendor?
All work must be original and handcrafted by you. Commercially purchased or imported items are not acceptable. Please see our Policies for more information.
What time is set-up?
Feel free to set up your display anytime starting at 10:30 am; just make sure you are ready by 12:00 pm!
Will there be a dressing room?
The restrooms at Chop Suey may be used for dressing rooms..
Will I have access to electricity?
Yes, electrical outlets will be available. If you plan on using electricity, please bring your own extension cord and duct tape.
Do I need to bring my own lighting?
Yes for the front room (near the stage) and no for the back room. There is enough natural light from the windows in the back that additional lighting is not necessary. If you're bringing your own lighting, please remember to bring your own extension cords.
