The TASMANIAN MADE MARKET is a showcase for handmade artists in Tasmania and will take place Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th March 2020, from 10am to 4pm at the Silverdome in Launceston.
This is a 2-day market and there will be no one day spaces.
All stall holders will be expected to stay until the market closes so please make sure you can commit to the whole 2 days before applying.
We also expect that you will help to promote the event via any social media that you have and by helping to distribute flyers. The more promotion we can get the more buyers there will be at the market and the more successful your stall will be.
THE VENUE
This will be an indoor market and will be held at the Silverdome in Launceston.
WHO CAN APPLY?
The event is open to quality handmade artists living in Tasmania selling items they have made themselves and those that sell craft supplies.
DO I REQUIRE ANY INSURANCE?
Yes you do, however $20 million Public Liability Insurance and $20 million Product Liability Insurance WILL BE INCLUDED FREE for our stall holders. However there are some things that aren't covered by our insurance:
"- We CANNOT cover potions and lotions that stay on the skin eg. any topical cream that is applied to the skin and left on eg lip balm, moisturiser, hand cream, make up, essential oils etc
We can cover soap, bath bombs or bath crystals as they wash off the skin. We can also cover candles.
- We CANNOT cover TOYS of any description"
***If your products fall into the categories mentioned above you WILL NEED to organise your OWN INSURANCE.***
Vendors selling toys will not be accepted unless they submit a current insurance certificate with their application. This can be sent to [email protected]
CAN I SHARE A STALL WITH ANOTHER SELLER?
Yes, but you will BOTH need to apply separately and indicate on BOTH application forms who you would like to share with. Stall fees will be split between those sharing with a 10% handling fee to cover extra processing and handling fees.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME, CAN YOU HELP?
Yes! We will be giving tips and tricks in our vendor's Facebook group page. You will receive a link to this page if your registration is accepted.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING AS A STALLHOLDER?
Each stallholder should bring the following items to make their life comfortable at the Markets:
* your stock, with price tags or stickers attached;
* any tables, clothes racks or props or display items;
* a white floor length table cover for all tables (this is essential for a professional & consistent look);
* any display, signage and promotional materials, including your business cards;
* money float to suit your product pricing, electronic processing terminal if you have one;
* a chair to sit on, optional;
* a helper (if possible) so you can take a break and for the times when you have so many customers you need an extra pair of hands!;
* snacks and a drink (food will be available at the kiosk and can be ordered ahead to be brought to your stall).
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE VENDORS?
We choose vendors based on a number of criteria:
* you must sell items made by YOU or craft supplies to be eligible;
* we look for professional presentation in your social media or website;
* we look for a quality product;
* we try to get a good balance of categories so we don't have too much competition in each category;
* a willingness to help and promote the market;
* positive community spirit;
* your items must not include any items that infringe on IP rights;
* we can only consider applications that have sent 3 PHOTOS to [email protected];
* we can only consider vendors selling toys if a current insurance certificate is sent to [email protected] with submission
* having been accepted for a previous market does NOT guarantee you a spot in the next one.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT I’VE BEEN APPROVED AS A STALLHOLDER?
We will advise you (in writing) of our decision.
If you're unsuccessful, you will automatically be added to a 'second chance' list and we'll be in contact with you should a space become available.
WHEN DO I PAY?
A $130 Application fee is required WITH your application. If successful this will become your non-refundable deposit. If unsuccessful within 24 hours of being accepted. Failure to pay by this date WILL result in forfeiture of your place and you will go back on the waiting list. Please note installment plans WILL NOT be available as they have been abused in the past. Please ensure you can pay both payments on time before applying.
WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL?
Stall fees will go into covering the costs of venue fees, insurance, equipment hire, decoration and promotion. If you cancel, we will NOT be able to give you a refund unless we can find someone to take your place. Please keep this in mind before applying. Your stall is NOT transferable so you cannot sell your spot to someone else as we need to approve all vendors and site placements. Cancellations received up to 30th January will be refunded stall fees less the deposit IF we can find a replacement. Cancellations post 30th January will not receive a refund for any reason.
BUMP IN TIMES
Bump in will be on FRIDAY 27th MARCH. You will be allocated a time.
