Thank you for a TERRIFIC 2023-2024 Season!

It’s been a real pleasure working with all our exhibitors as we have managed to get through our whole season of shows. The weather has without a doubt been a bit of a challenge at times… but all of us managed to do our best and create success stories rather than excuses!

We will have our new show schedule available soon for the 2024-2025 season and we’ll let you know once it’s finalized.

Until then… we wish you success in all your upcoming shows and we look forward to seeing at our events next season!

How to use our application system

How to use our application system

The first thing you’ll need to do is go to “SIGN UP” and create your online account.

Here we will ask you basic information about you and your company, what you plan on selling and we’ll also ask you to submit images of your work and your display.

We will reveiw your application and we will send you an email once you’re approved.

Next just simply go to “UPCOMING EVENTS” … Choose the event or events that interest you and then click on the image of that event!

You’ll be asked to sign in with the username and password you had chosen when you signed up.

ANY TIME YOU WANT TO RETURN TO THE UPCOMING EVENTS YOU CAN JUST CLICK ON OUR LOGO 

As soon as you’ve successfully signed in, you’ll see the exhibitor dashboard.

As you can see, this is a summary of your profile, the events to which you’ve applied as well as navigation around the application system.

If you need to make any changes to your exhibitor profile for example, you would click on the customer profile tab and you’ll be able to make changes to any of the information you originally entered when you signed up.

When you want to sign up for an event, you’ll want to click on the Events Cart

This will open up the events cart categories where you can select the type of application you’d like to submit.  Choose the category that applies to the work you’d like to sell.

Once you’ve chosen your category, the event application choices will appear.

Click on “Add to schedule” and whichever events you choose will appear on the right hand side of the events cart ready for you to pay the entry fee.

Just click on the “Checkout” link and you’ll be taken to the credit card section where you can pay for the events you’ve selected.

The most convenient was to pay is with STRIPE which is our credit card processing company, however we can accept offline payments as well.  REMEMBER… WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD YOUR SPACE UNTIL THE PAYMENT IS ACTUALLY MADE!

So if you’d like to make certain of your reservation, use the credit card system and confirm your space reservation right away.

You’ll notice when you return to Exhibitor Dashboard, that the events you’ve paid for are now listed under your ACTIVE EVENTS.

Those events are also no longer listed in the events cart!  That way you can avoid booking the same event twice.

IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE A DEPOSIT ON AN EVENT RATHER THAN PAY IN FULL… select the “Make A Deposit” section.

IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT WHEN MAKING A DEPOSIT ON AN EVENT, YOU MUST PAY FOR THEM ONE SHOW AT A TIME!

The deposit cart works similarly to the regular events cart except that you must go through the checkout process completely for each event where you’d like to make a deposit.

You can come back to your “EXHBITOR DASHBOARD” at any time to check your schedule with us, to communicate with us through our help desk, send an email or ask a question!

If you have any questions about the shows… or about our company please feel free to either give us a call at (302) 384-1116 or send us an email at jessie@mypromotions.com. We’ll answer you as soon as possible and solve whatever questions you may have.
