Yard Wars Vendor Info and FAQ

UPDATE MARCH 20, 2020:

Since the Yard Wars date of May 16th is just outside of the government’s current guidelines (of 8 weeks without gatherings of 50 or more), we are going to wait a little while longer to make a decision on whether to reschedule. We’ll update on the web page and all our social media if we have made a decision to change it. Thanks for your patience! Email us with any questions at [email protected]. -Shelli

VENDOR BOOTH INFO:

Please read all this stuff and save us both some time. Thanks! ☺

1. HOW DO I REGISTER A BOOTH?

Read this whole page first.
Get a booth by registering at mysaline.com/yardwars-signup/

2. HOW MUCH IS BOOTH SPACE?

$75.00 for a 10×10-foot space. That includes tables, chairs and wifi!
It’s for Yard Sales, Crafts, Boutiques, Direct Sales or Concessions.
If you have something that doesn’t fit those categories, but you want to participate, contact us! Scroll down for contact info.

3. HOW DO I PAY?

Mail – check or money order to MYSALINE, PO BOX 307, BRYANT, AR 72089
OR
Card/Cash app (by Square) – Pay from your Computer or Mobile App – If you don’t already have a Cash/Square account, it’s easy, safe, and doesn’t charge extra.
–To pay in a web browser, you can use a card and check out as a guest or you can use your Cash account. Just click http://cash.me/$mysaline.
— To pay with the app, click this link: https://cash.me/app/RHMWCVQ, sign in/up, then send your vendor fee to $MySaline. In the description, tell your name and specify it’s for Yard Wars. (Bonus: If you use this link above to download the app and send money for the first time, they give you $5.00 cash in your account.)
OR
Paypal – There is a $2.25 extra charge to use this method. Send $77.25 for each booth to https://www.paypal.me/arkansasshelli
Your payment locks in registration. If a competitor (of the same brand) pays first, then they will get the spot. This is where paying electronically comes in handy.

4. CAN I DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN A YARD SALE?

Yes! Crafters, Boutiques, Direct Sales and Concessions are welcome!
HOWEVER, email [email protected] in advance to see if we don’t already have someone doing the same thing.
–Two of the same type are okay. Ex: Mary Kay & Avon is ok.
–Two of the same brand are not. Ex: Paparazzi & Paparazzi is not ok.
Also, we ask that vendors only do one brand per booth, so other reps have the opportunity to sell. Ex: If you sell Mary Kay & Paparazzi, pick one. But you are welcome to combine crafts or yard sale items with a brand.

We have electricity but please let us know if you need to be near it

10. WHERE CAN I PARK?

For setup, you will get an assigned time to come with your stuff. You’ll be able to pull to the front door to unload your things.
Once your things are inside, park as far away from the venue as possible, so shoppers can park closer. There are spaces across the street and at other nearby businesses.

Your booth space will be assigned according to what order you register. Your registration is not complete without payment.

12. EVENT TIMELINE:

Load-in times will be posted here as it gets closer to the event.
8:30 a.m. – All vendor vehicles should be moved away from the customer parking, but you can continue getting things ready.

13. OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF:

Sale runs from 9am-1pm.
Event host/venue is not responsible for your lost or stolen items.
This sale is rain or shine.
No permanent changes should be made to the building. No tape, staples, pins or nails on the wall. Yard Wars has paid a damage deposit in case anything happens to the building. If you damage the building due to negligence, you will be expected to pay for it.
This is a nice venue. Please treat it as such by taking care to leave it clean.
