>>>WHEN WILL I KNOW MY LOAD-IN TIME AND BOOTH #?
Your load-in time and booth # will be listed in each city's specific Vendor Packet  and Show Guide. Those are sent out via text and email at least 10 days prior to the event.

>>>CAN I DRIVE MY CAR INTO THE BUILDING?
No. World Market Center does not allow anyone to drive into the building on event days. Prepare your inventory ahead of time by bundling it into plastic totes or other large bags for ease of transport from the dock to your booth.

>>>WHERE IS PARKING? IS IT FREE?
There will be a dedicated Vendor Parking area north of the World Market Center in Las Vegas. It will be free. More specific instructions will be sent via email and text closer to event day.

>>>ARE THERE THRIFTCON EMPLOYEES/CARTS AVAILABLE TO USE?
Yes. But also no. There are hundreds of you and only a few of us. We do what we can to help in the morning but can't get to everyone. Likewise, there are only about a dozen carts available throughout the venue.
Pro Tip: throwing down to purchase your own foldable cart will be one of the best store investments you've ever made. Trust.

>>>CAN MY BOOTH BE BY MY FRIEND'S BOOTH?
Unfortunately we can’t guarantee placing any two booths next to one another. Each venue is unique and sometimes the layout makes it impossible to accommodate requests, especially within a few weeks of the show.
Never hurts to ask, though.

>>>WHAT IS A "VENDOR PASS"?
Vendor Passes are for additional sellers/helpers/security to be in your booth. Depending on your booth size, you will be equipped with either 3, 4 or 5 passes. Any vendor passes beyond those included will need to be purchased separately through vendors@thriftcon.co
Vendor Passes cannot be used for early access into The Pit.

>>>WHEN WILL I GET MY VENDOR PASS?
Due to ongoing theft, Vendor envelopes are no longer taped to the floor upon your arrival. We'll have a red table at the ThriftCon merch booth to check in at to receive your passes.

>>>WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY FOR VENDORS?
Booth fees for ThriftCon Las Vegas are non-refundable after October 1st, 2023. If you cannot vend at the event please reach out to vendors@thriftcon.co as soon as possible to let us know.

>>>CAN I SELL MY BOOTH TO SOMEONE IF I CAN'T VEND?
No. Booths are in extremely high demand and there is a waiting list that needs to be honored. We also want to do our best to deter bots and resellers from scooping them up unfairly. Ain't gonna fly.

>>>HOW DO I GET ADDITIONAL VENDOR PASSES?
Vendor Passes are purchased through ThriftCon via PayPal. Each additional Vendor Pass is $50. Email vendors@thriftcon.co to put in a request.
Again: extra Vendor Passes are not to be used for the Trading Pit area.

>>>CAN I RENT TABLES AND CHAIRS?
Yep! Email vendors@thriftcon.co about all table and chair inquiries.

>>>WILL THERE BE POWER IN OR AROUND MY BOOTH?
Electrical hookup at World Market Center is available, but it isn't free. A How to Order form has been sent already via Vendor communications and can also be found on the Welcome To ThriftCon page.

>>>WILL THERE BE FREE WI-FI?
We're still waiting to hear back from the venue about Wi-Fi availability. When we know the exact details of how to order, we will send it via Vendor communications.

>>>TAG, HANG AND ORGANIZE AHEAD OF TIME.
Research shows that customers buy more if a product they're looking at is clearly labeled with the price. Having to yell over other shoppers or find the owner of a booth is a huge deterrent to sales. 

>>>FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH CUSTOMER FLOW.
Not only does the layout of your booth help discourage theft, but it also makes the shopping experience more enjoyable. Strategize your entrance/exit gaps and anticipate large, sporadic crowds ahead of time and how you'll handle them.

>>>BE AVAILABLE.
Another proven retail tactic is greeting customers. It shows them who to checkout with when paying or where to direct questions if needed.
We see it all the time: the lowest sales complaints are always from the owners posted up on the wall with zero customer service. Every. Time.

>>>HAVE COMPETITIVE PRICES.
Selling high end items is fun, but at ThriftCon it's the exception, not the rule. Our Attendee Survey always reveals the same thing no matter what city: people are looking for deals. The key to success is to keep things moving.

>>>ACCEPT AS MANY FORMS OF PAYMENT AS POSSIBLE.
Everyone's different. Some pay with cash. Others with a card. Banking apps are super convenient, too. Invest in a credit card reader, bring smaller bills for change and print out your QR codes ahead of time. The quicker they can pay the more sales you'll have. It's science.

>>>BRING A FULLY CHARGED PHONE AND EXTERNAL CHARGER.
Nothing sucks more than 3:00 p.m. hitting and your phone dies during a transaction. Plan ahead!

>>>WHAT ARE THE COVID-19 POLICIES FOR THRIFTCON?
ThriftCon and its employees always follow whatever local mandates are in place at the time of the event. If a vaccine or mask mandate is required, we will email all vendors with further instructions on the current guidelines and policies.
