Below is a list of our vending FAQs. For additional questions regarding vending or to be added to the waiting list, please complete the form below.
Do we have spaces available?
Yes! We are accepting applications for vendor spaces for our 2024 in-person event.
What kind of vendors do you accept?
Our attendees knit, crochet, spin, weave, dye, rug hook, felt, and pursue a wide variety of other fiber and textile arts. They look to purchase tools and materials for their projects, so we look for vendors who can supply those tools and materials.
We are looking for vendors who run fiber arts related businesses on a professional basis. We do not provide space for individuals to sell their own stash or tools.
How much does a booth space cost?
- $25 – 100 square feet (10 x 10)
- $35 – 150 square feet (10 x 15)
- $50 – 200 square feet (10 x 20)
- $60 – 250 square feet (10 x 25), L-shaped corner booth, combining a 10×10 and 10×15 space
- $75 – 300 square feet (10 x 30), L-shaped corner booth, combining a 10×10 and 10×20 space
In addition to the booth fee, we ask vendors to contribute an item of at least $25 retail value for use as a door prize.
Website Advertising
In addition to booth space, Orlando Distaff Day creates a ‘Vendors’ page, displaying the logos of all accepted vendors, with a link to each vendor’s website.
This year, for the first time, Orlando Distaff Day is selling dedicated advertising space on our website, to those who are not vendors. These advertisements will be in a carousel displayed on the Orlando Distaff Day Home Page and all of the 2024 Event pages, with the exception of the dedicated Vendor page. For more information on how this will work, please see the general Website Advertising page.
The regular price for Advertising is $20. However, for our in person vendors, we are offering a discounted price of $10, which is in addition to the Booth Fee. The vendor application includes a way to sign up for Website Advertising. You can upload your Artwork at the time of application or send it to us later.
Our vending space is curated.
In order to ensure that our attendees have as wide a variety of options as possible, we curate our vending space. This means that if a space becomes available, we will offer it to the business on our waitlist that best complements the existing offerings. Space is not offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Advance arrangements are required.
All vendors must make arrangements prior to the event. Anyone arriving at the event expecting to vend, without prior approval from event organizers, will be turned away.
Free wifi is not available in the Conference Center.
We may be able to arrange wifi at a fee. When you fill out the inquiry form, please let us know if you would need wifi access in order to accept payment.
What happens once I submit my application?
If you have previously vended with Orlando Distaff Day, we will send you an invoice and once we receive payment from you, your booth is reserved and we will add you to our vendor list for 2024.
If you are a new vendor, we will add you to our waiting list. Once we hear from our returning vendors, and know how much and what size booth spaces we have available, we will contact those who best fit with the needs of our event.
Before applying, prepare your image uploads.
If you have not vended at Orlando Distaff Day before, we require you to submit your business logo and at least 3 pictures of the products you sell. If you have vended at Orlando Distaff Day, you have the option of submitting updated photos, at your option.
