Frequently Asked Questions – Please read these before applying

What is the format of the tradeshows?
The Ladybug Tradeshow and The Christmas Spirit Tradeshow are the LARGEST spring and Christmas tradeshows in SW SK. They are busy one day tradeshows hosted on Saturdays. These shows are hosted at the Stockade Building in Swift Current and have over one hundred unique vendors from all over Saskatchewan and beyond. We do an extensive advertising campaign and draw shoppers from all over the southwest.

The Pop Up Shoppe events are at the Lt. Colonel Clifton Centre. This is a smaller facility but still packs over fourty five vendors; with a focus more on local to Swift Current and close surrounding area vendors. Pop up Shoppes is hosted on a Sunday and hundreds of shoppers attend from Swift Current and small towns surrounding the area.

For the past decade all of our shows sell out with a wait list, apply early to avoid disappointment.

When can I expect to find out about my application?
We appreciate that everyone needs time to prepare and plan to exhibit in a tradeshow. Most applications that are received before the first round of selections deadline will be contacted regarding the status of their application within the first two weeks of that month. Some categories of applications take a little longer, but we do our best to notify all applicants as quickly as possible. Those who apply after the first selection deadline will be notified on an ongoing basis, please allow us a minimum of two weeks to reply to your application. All notifications will be sent via email to the email address you provide on your application form.  Please apply early to avoid disappointment.

If I find out my application was selected what are my next steps?
Tradeshow Sisters will send you more instructions and answer any of your questions. Your booth registration cannot be confirmed until your payment is received – once selected, please pay promptly to secure your booth. Confirmed exhibitors are listed on the Facebook Event in the description within five business days of receiving payment.

What happens if I was selected and now am unable to attend?
If for any reason you are unable to attend, you may find someone to work your booth (the business that was selected based on information on your application form) on your behalf or cancel with no refund. You cannot “transfer” your booth to another vendor. All communication must still come from you and will go to you. Refunds will not be issued due to weather, road conditions, illnesses or other factors.

I didn’t get selected what does that mean?
We wish we could select everyone, we really do. But there is just too many awesome vendors to choose from and not enough space to be able to pick everyone.  We encourage you to continue to apply to upcoming Tradeshow Sister events, as our exhibitors blend is always changing and you might be just what we need for our new mix.

How do I find out about upcoming events?
All our events are conveniently listed on this website. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram @tradeshowsisters. If you submit an application, whether you are selected or not, you are added to our exhibitor email list so that you will be informed of our upcoming events.

You may also email us with your name, business name, a description of what you sell and where you are from at TradeshowSisters@gmail.com.
