WSCG


   Guidelines for Show or Shop Participation



The following guidelines will be followed by all participants at WSCG Shows:

1. If you wish to participate in a show, send your application and money to the Treasurer as quickly as possible.  There my be a limited number of spaces available and a space cannot be held if you have not paid.  Show space availability is on a “first come, first served” basis.


2. You are responsible for your set-up and breakdown.


3. Mark ALL items with the price and your code number written clearly on the tag.  See example on back.  This is for your benefit so that you receive proper credit for what you have sold.  Do NOT change your price tag, i.e. cross out a price and pen in a new one.  If you wish to make changes, make a new tag.  Marked out tags does not look professional and we will not be able to sell the item if we are not sure of the price.


4. No more than two people may share a booth (outdoor and/or individually manned shows).


5. Wear your Guild name tag.


6. ALL items sold are to be handmade by YOU.  


7. No edible products are to be sold or displayed at your booth.


8. Tables must have coverings that fall to the floor.  


9. Once you have set up for a show, the Show Chairperson or his/her designee will “check off” that your booth is acceptable.


10. You are expected to work the number of shifts/hours deemed necessary to provide coverage for the event.  The Guild reserves the right to charge you for times not worked.  This charge will be set at the time of each event.  It is unfair to other participants if you do not help support the show by working.  If you have a specific problem regarding working, please talk with the Show Chairperson, possibly something can be worked out.  If you cannot work the shift(s) you have signed for, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to find a replacement and make sure your replacement is trained and is working.

Each individual member having items in the store, regardless of type of membership must work the required # of shifts or plan for someone to work your shifts.  It does not have to be a Guild member, a family member, friend, etc. will do.


11 There will be NO EARLY BREAKDOWNS.


12. During set-up, after you have unloaded, please move your vehicle away from the door to the specified parking are for guild members.  This allows other members to get close to the door to unload.  At breakdown, please have your stock and display items packed before moving your car close to the door.


13. In all store situations, monies will be collected at one central checkout.  We accept cash, check and credit card (Visa and Mastercard only).   The Guild is responsible for paying sales tax.  You will receive a check for items you sold at a later date, with a deduction to cover the cost of the credit card purchases.  If the event is an outdoor show where booths are individually manned, we will try to have the option of accepting credit cards available.  In this situation, it will be the guild member’s responsibility to collect and remit sales tax in accordance with NC State regulations.  Again, you will be charged the cost of credit card purchases.  As of this date, NC Sales Tax rate is 7.75%.




Pricing/Tagging your items:

Each item that you have for sale MUST have a string tag attached to it.  NO SMALL STRING TAGS!  You may have your own professional tag as well as the string tag.
