VENDORS: READ THIS FIRST

PLEASE DO NOT EDIT THIS INFORMATION IN ANY WAY

If you are not a vendor for the current event, please register for the online shopping party extravaganza here, otherwise, please read everything that follows to insure your page will be published.

Blogger makes it SUPER easy to create content for your Vendor Page.

You don't even need to know much in the way of HTML.
We're not making many requirements on your page, except for the following:

You MUST include your company name as the title of your blog post, you must also include your name and your company name as "labels" for your page post. This way people can search for you or your company. If your company prohibits this, please contact us for additional help.

You MUST include your name, company name and a method of contact (web page, email, phone) so customers can start shopping and be able to reach you with questions.

You MUST include a description (including retail value) of the prize you will award during your vendor time slot, as well as some description of the specials and offers available during the event. Any additional prizes you wish to donate will be mentioned on our shopper's page, along with reciprocal links to your blog page and/or website if permitted by your company.

You MUST keep an order open for the entire event. If you want to do a special that is just for your time slot, that's fine, so long as you have an open party you can add other orders to through the end of the event. You can hold your party open longer if you like, but please mention this on your page as well as during your time slot. We will be sending out a reminder the last day of the event to ensure that any "outstanding" orders are submitted by the close of the event.

It's a good idea to include your time slot on your promotional page so that peope know when to look for you. We will have a vendor schedule as well, but the more info you provide, the easier it is for people to shop with you.

If you have ANY questions, please let us know, and we'll be glad to assist.



On with the promo page!

You can insert Video by clicking on the icon in the post window, or you can embed a YouTube video as I've done here, by copying and pasting the code into the post window:



You can upload images the same way. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO UPLOAD ANY CONTENT YOU POST.

We reserve the right to edit any page. In fact, we will be editing your post to include a registration link for customers. That way, you can send customers to your page to sign up and your referral code will be embedded in their sign up form.

You are encouraged to include a picture of yourself, as well as a short bio. This is your page to tell others about you, your product/service, and what you plan to offer in way of specials and prizes during your vendor time slot. If your company does not allow links of any kind, please be respectful of that requirement. Include an email address at your own risk.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE YOUR TIME SLOT INFORMATION.
