I am in charge on putting together a spring/summer multi-vendor event to help raise money for The relay for life. Does any one have a contract or could some one do one up for me ? ? ? If need be, I change a few words to fit what I need - I just need help coming up with words What I have done in the past with my own event is to tell the multi vendor consultants the cost of: table(s), advertising, and what door prize gifts (I always do 2 - 1 for a hourly or half hour - door Prize drawing around $4 - $6 and 1 large grand door prize about $12 - $15 - everyones gifts will be for the GRAND door prize Last time I had a small problem - 2 of the consultant nevered showed up, so I was out the money for the tables (which is the money I rent the place for) and the advertising. I don't want this to happen again so I want people to pay the money and give me the door prizes early so that if they don't show up I would still have the money and stuff. Thanks for your help in advance Teresa :chef:
I would just go with what you used in the past - it requests all the same information I've ever had to complete when signing up for a booth. This time, make sure it's clear payment has to be received by such-and-such a date, and that it is non-refundable. I don't know about getting door prizes to you early, though. Most people would probably want to bring them the day of, plus you'd be responsible for storing them. I guess this could be worked out, though.
I didn't have a contract last time - it was all verbal If I don't get the door prizes early then I will have to come up with something myself for the hour I draw that prize. I will probably tell them that I will package with up for them to match each other - for the season, etc. :chef:
Just write out all your requirements. When I do My Fundraiser I send a contract to all my vendors via email and ask that the print it and send it back with their payment. It helps to get payment up front, if it is a free event still get a deposit then hand them back their check as they are setting up. People need to be held accountable. Do not do all the work for them. Also it is nice if you can get proof of business insurance.
I wish I had a contractfor you. I would love a copy of one. I put on 2 multi-vendor events in a year and after the last one I just did, I so need one. I hope that you get a copy, if you do would you mind emailing me a copy @ rbvernon@yahoo.com Thanks
