ABOUT THIS APPLICATION: (some things may appear different if registering on your phone; not recommended)

• You'll need to submit a maximum 100-word description (approx. 600 characters) for the website and promotions. Or you can tell us to use your previous description. Please write in "third person" (do not use "I"). The purpose of the description is to tell what you will be offering at your booth during the Expo. It is not an advertisement for things not offered here.

• When done with the application, hit the "Submit Application" button. After that, the page where you filled out the form should be blank.

• After hitting the "Submit Application" button, IF the page is still there and doesn't go to the Paypal page, then there is likely an error in your application. You may see an error message at the bottom that says "Please fill in required fields" if you missed a required question; or you may not, if it's a different problem. Either way, scroll back up the form to find a required question that was not filled out or not filled out properly. (OFTEN it is because you have gone over the 600-character limit in your description.) Answer or fix, and then submit again.

• After completing payment, the PayPal box will close and you can then click the "Submit Form" button.

• If you get an error message at the bottom of the application, then there is likely an error in your application. If so, scroll back up the form to find a required question that was not filled out, or not filled out properly. (OFTEN it is because you have gone over the 600-character limit in your description.) Answer or fix, and then submit again.

WHAT'S NEW/REMINDERS:​

• Friday evening set-up is allowed at Saline Middle School! TIME TBD. Saturday set-up is 7:00 – 10:00 AM.

• Sunday hours are extended to 6:00 PM! (Booths must remain open until closing time or risk not being invited back.)

• NO REFUNDS unless your application is denied. We reserve the right to limit vendors in a particular category or for any reason.

• PROMOTION: We list all vendors on our website and on at least one social media post. 

•  POLICY ON HELPERS: One helper PER BOOTH, PER DAY (two per double booth) can be admitted free to work at your table. They will receive a generic pass with your business name, but we will need their names for admittance. (Names can be given in the application or emailed to vendors@enlightenedsoulexpo.com by MARCH 13). For one additional helper per booth beyond those allotted, you may pay a helper fee of $5 with your application. More than two helpers per booth will pay the standard admission fee.

• SPONSORSHIP: We now offer Sponsorship Opportunities that can increase the visibility of your business at the Expo! There are various levels of perks, depending upon the monetary donation, from being included on print ads, extra social media posts, or on the At-a-Glance handout to exclusive sponsorship of a physical area of the Expo. Please see the Sponsorship web page for more information or inquire with Lori Irvin, Sponsorship & Outreach Coordinator, at (810) 820-0494 or sponsors@enlightenedsoulexpo.com. 

• LOCATION OPTIONS at Saline Middle School (our first time in this new venue!): 

  • ​Small Booths are smaller and cheaper booths; no more than one 6-foot table is recommended (or a combination of smaller tables). Small Single Booths are 6' deep x 8' wide and Small Double Booths are 6' deep x 16' wide. Two chairs are provided.

  • Standard Booths are either Single (10' deep x 10' wide) or Double (10' deep x 20' wide); two chairs are provided. 

• 6-foot tables can be purchased with your application for $10 each. (We will rent these from an outside company.) Only one 6-foot table will fit in a Small Single Booth.

• READINGS: Vendors cannot offer readings at their booths. This is to preserve the integrity of the Reader Rooms. You can apply for an exception, if you offer something UNUSUAL that cannot conform to our 20-minute and 30-minute Reader Room procedures. If approved to offer readings, the READING COST CANNOT BE LESS than what our Reader Room charges, $1.65/minute. Please contact Amy at amy@enlightenedsoulcenter.com to apply for an exception.

• Booths are not to be shared by two unrelated companies. You may each purchase a single booth separately and ask to be placed next to each other. We offer cheaper Small Booths that are very affordable for small vendors.

• Electricity access is available for an additional $10 charge. Please bring your own power strips and extension cords to assure proper access, and duct tape to secure the cords to the floor.

• Anyone primarily offering bodywork/energy work should apply instead as a Bodyworker. Bodyworkers are encouraged to bring a helper to take appointments while they are working and to explain what they offer.

• VOLUNTEER PRIZE DONATION: We're asking everyone to donate a gift certificate or product to reward our volunteers. Gift certificates should be for full free offers — no coupons or discounts. If you are donating a product instead of a gift certificate, products should be chosen by you (instead of giving us a certificate asking the recipient choose), because sometimes the certificates are received too late for the volunteer to go to your booth. ALL donations should be brought to us at the Volunteer Office or given to the Vendor Coordinator or Vendor Assistant who make the rounds of the booths, so that we can allocate the right amount of certificates to cover our volunteers each day. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE YOUR DONATION DIRECTLY TO VOLUNTEERS unless these are "extra" donations, to reward a volunteer who has helped you, separate from the donation you give to the Volunteer Office. We will have blank certificates at the Expo for you to fill out, or feel free to bring your own.  Thank you for helping to support our hard-working volunteers!

• Please do not light candles or incense, diffuse oils or sprays into the air, or use anything else scented — to respect those who have allergies or sensitivities. Demonstrations may be done only when visitors request or with the express permission of ALL your vendor neighbors (behind as well as on the sides and in front). Demos using water (not scent) are allowed but not constantly running. WHEN IN DOUBT, please ask permission from the Vendor Assistant or Amy.

• For those who wish to stay overnight near Saline, blocks of hotel rooms have been arranged for Expo weekend. If after the expiration deadline, you may still contact the hotel and get the special rate if there are still rooms available.
