Registration and information.
I am pleased to have all of you participate in my next event. This event is at The Doghouse in Maplewood and is Saturday, June 14th from 10:00 to 3:00. Conveniently located near the hobby lobby in Golden corral and across White Bear Avenue from the Maplewood Mall.
This is an outdoor event. A 10x10 canopy tent is recommended. There are very few tables available for rent as well as very limited spaces available with access to electricity for an additional charge.
Load in times will start at between 7:00 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. or earlier and you will be notified closer to the event what your actual loading time is via the special vendor Facebook group.
Set up times and instructions will ONLY be posted in the Facebook group. So it is important that you join the group immediately upon being requested to join and please set up your notifications so you see when new things are posted in the group. Please follow the directions posted by the organizer in the group.
Gigi-ology Events has been doing events since 2015. Please follow the page on Facebook, my website Gigi-ologyevents.com or reach out to me directly to get an invite to my vendor group on facebook to see future events. Many of these events are at venues that the organizer has done before and some are new venues. These are Standalone pop up shop sales and as such there is no annual attendance data as these are not annual events.
Advertising is done through my website, targeted paid Facebook ads, Facebook reels, instagram, next door, other craft fair websites and tiktok videos. I also have a large mailing list of past vendors and shoppers. There were also be signage. Some shows will have billboard advertising, some shows will have a big black neon sign, and other shows will have multiple pink signs at cross streets. And also sharing the event in three hundred different Facebook groups. The organizer does not guarantee attendance.
All vendors are required to assist with advertising by sharing the event on their Facebook page. Spreading the word to their family and friends. And also upon request providing pictures or video for the organizer to compile into advertising videos.
The show starts at 10:00 and runs till 3:00. Our last customers deserve the same experience as our first and as such I require that you do not start to pack anything up until after 3:00.
Please secure all fragile items and cash. The Doghouse Bar and Grill and the organizer Dawn, Gigi-ology Events are not responsible for loss or stolen items or broken items.
Handmade items are always welcome! There will be additional charges for items that are not handmade, in effect giving the handmade Crafters a discount.
There will be one MLM representative per company. If you represent an MLM there will be a $15 increase in the price of the booth.
Resellers include anything that has been purchased for resale that you have not made with your own hands. Resellers please add $25 (this is a reverse discount for handmade sellers.)
Cottage food licenses are required for any food items or beverage items.
Please keep this in mind. You may be asked for photos of your items . And you may be asked to leave some items at home if I am totally full for that item.
Also an st19 form is required. Further instructions will be posted in the Facebook group on how to fill this out.
We do a swag bag raffle at all of my events. We asked that you donate one or two small items of a $10 or $20 value or less for the raffle. You will receive raffle tickets from the organizer to be dispersed to your buying customers. There will be a raffle every 30 minutes. I will be accepting the st19 forms and raffle donations 30 minutes before the show starts at my booth.

Payment methods that I accept are venmo, Facebook Messenger Pay, PayPal, and Square. PayPal and Square do have a percentaged based fee which is usually about $5-8. Venmo does as well, however if you send me a friend request on venmo there is no additional fee. Please do not send your payment until I have given you instructions to do so. Venmo has a fee involved if you mark the payment as a product or service. Please be sure to add the additional $5. If you are not marking the item as a product or service you do not need to add that additional $5.
