POP-UP PORCH

WHAT IS A POP-UP PORCH?

The Pop-Up Porch is very similar to the Retail Porch opportunity. This is another opportunity where you can sample and sell directly from a booth space. What makes the Pop-Up Porch unique is that you can choose the days that you would like to sample and sell. This is a great opportunity if you would like the face-toface contact with customers all day, but do not want to commit to attending the show all 24 days. Please note, you will have to purchase at least one standard shelving unit or signage in the General Store to be in a Pop-Up Porch.
