This is a promotion to encourage patron attendance while introducing them to your products/services. Giveaways can be simple: samples, promo cards, stickers, coupons, etc. There is no minimum quantity to contribute to this promotion. All vendors that participate in this will get specific mentions, spotlighting their contributions and participation.

This is a promotion to encourage patron follow up. The intention is to encourage patrons to further research and purchase your goods/services, after the market. The digital coupon would be emailed and shared to patrons that have attended the market. The design of the coupon would be provided by Cheviot Market and approved by you before posting. It would be clearly stated in this promotion that the coupons are only valid for the month following the market. If a vendor chooses to honor the coupon beyond that time frame, that is their decision and right.

Cheviot Market will reserve and regulate parking in nearby lots. Spaces will be limited so allocation will be on a first come first served basis. Upon arrival to the designated parking lots, vendors will be required to show their market acceptance confirmation email to Cheviot Market staff, regulating the lot. One space per vendor will be allocated unless previous accommodations have been approved in writing, prior to market day. Cheviot Market will not be liable for any damage or theft related to vehicles parked in these regulated lots. When all reserved spaces are filled, vendors will be responsible for locating additional parking. Vendors will be directed to reserved parking upon load in arrival.

Setup/load in is tentatively scheduled to begin 2 hours before the market begins. Vendors are required to arrive promptly within this time, checking in with Cheviot Market staff before unloading any of their products or setting up displays. Upon speaking with Cheviot Market Staff, vendors will be directed to their assigned market space and given general parking details. Upon market conclusion, all vendors are expected to tear down and loud out in a timely and organized manner. Teardown and load out should not begin prior to market conclusion unless special permissions have been requested and approved in writing, before market day.

Cheviot Market will coordinate with the City of Cheviot to address any safety concerns. The current protocol is to have multiple Cheviot Market staff on-site and two Cheviot Police Officers on patrol, nearby. If there are any safety developments, Cheviot Market will announce to vendors as soon as possible. If there are any safety concerns during market day, please contact a Cheviot Market staff member, immediately.

Cheviot Market cancellations will be announced within at least 12 hours of the market’s projected start time. Vendor registration fees can be forwarded to future market registration or a prorated refund will be sent to the vendor in a timely manner. Any non-recoupable expenses for the cancelled market day will be allocated equally between vendors and subtracted from the initial vendor registration fee. The difference will be the prorated refund. Markets will only cancel due to unforeseen circumstances not within Cheviot Market control, e.g. weather, natural disaster, construction, etc.

Cheviot Market reserves the right to remove any vendors from participating if they have broken state or federal laws or have behaved in a manner not suitable to the mission and purpose of Cheviot Market. If removed, the offending vendor will not be allowed to participate in any future markets, relinquishing their registration fee.
