This our annual CALL FOR EXHIBITORS for the New England
Home Show held in Boston February 21 through 24 at the Seaport World Trade
Center. There will be approximately 60 spaces set aside for art, craft,
and specialty food exhibitors. Like last year there is a three day option,
Friday through Sunday. (The three day aisle will be closed on Thursday so you
could actually be setting up during that time. The aisle would open Friday
morning. You can also be place in the adjacent aisle which will be open all
four days.) The base 10x10 fee for three days is $325 and the four
day fee is $375. This includes 500 watts of electric and pipe and drape, 8’ in
rear and 3’ high on sides.
This is our fourth year in working with the promoter, Rich
Castiglione. He is a great guy and easy to work with. Last year was by far the
most successful for this section. This area of the Home Show is called the
Craft Pavilion. It comprises an entire aisle of the show. It follows an
aisle of high end handcrafted wooden furniture. With 25,000 customers
attending, this is a fabulous opportunity to sell in the middle of winter. This
show works very well for those of you who have a mailing list. The
promoter will offer you free tickets for your customers. There is copious
nearby parking priced reasonably.
In 2013 there will be another New England Home Show , this
one in Foxboro’s Patriot Place March 22 through 24. The fee here is $300 for a
10x10 with electric and pipe and drape. The fee is only $300 and there is a
limit of 25 booths. The promotion here is to draw South of Boston, the Cape,
Rhode Island, and the Worcester area.
Obviously these are great deals available only through
Craftproducers. To apply visit our website www.craftproducers.com and go to the
EXHIBITOR INFO section. You can apply online or print out the application
and mail it in. If you have photos on file with us, there is no need to send
photos for jurying. Because space is limited at both of these Home Shows, apply
soon. A deposit of $150 will hold your space until the full balance is due at
the end of January.
