MARKETPLACE
Northeast Entrepreneur Fund
will host a two-day Northland Flavor Marketplace in Duluth
at the Holiday Inn Conference Center
in March 2010. Times are:
Sunday, March 7, noon –
4:00 p.m.
Monday, March 8, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
The Northland Flavor
Marketplace will allow regional artists to display their
products to potential retail buyers such as gift shops,
bookstores, floral shops, jewelers, and similar
outlets. This is a wholesale opportunity, not a retail event.
Eligible artists will be provided a draped exhibit table to
display their product lines to event visitors.
Potential event participants include but are not limited to
crafters, visual artists, sculptors, potters, jewelry makers,
photographers, musicians, specialty food producers, and writers. Cost for a two-day
display table is $150.
To be eligible to display at
the Northland Flavor Marketplace, an artist must:
-
Reside or work in the
11-county region served by the Northeast Entrepreneur Fund.*
-
Provide one or more
reproducible product lines (i.e, a product that can be
produced and sold in quantity).
-
Be able to take wholesale
(not retail) orders for product lines during the event.
-
Have the capacity to
fulfill wholesale orders from event attendees within a
reasonable time.
-
Demonstrate experience in
selling to a wholesale market, or attend one or more
preparatory sessions sponsored by Northeast Entrepreneur
Fund.
