🚫 Curated Category Limits & Product Exclusivity
At YourNique Events, we believe in creating a profitable, balanced ecosystem for our makers and a high-quality shopping experience for our guests. To ensure our vendors are not competing against a sea of identical products, we strictly monitor and limit vendor slots by product category.
Once a specific category (e.g., jewelry, candles, clothing boutiques) reaches its curated limit, applications for that category will be closed. We recommend submitting your application early to secure your exclusive market placement for this high-traffic weekend!
Please Note:
To honor existing North Georgia Premium Outlet tenants, applications for standard coffee, ice cream/popsicles, peanuts, hibachi, Indian cuisine, or chicken tenders/sandwiches cannot be accepted.
The tumbler and mug product category is currently completely closed for this showcase.
Available Booth Spaces:
10x10 BYOT Floor Space: Blank canvas space. Bring your own branded tables and setup.
8ft Artisan Double-Table Spot: We provide two 4-foot tables placed together for an optimized 8ft layout.
10ft Fixed Marble Premium Spot: High-visibility, non-porous marble counters located in the center corridors (Perfect for food artisans, bakeries, and high-end boutiques!).
Corporate Sponsorships: Secure your brand logo on our giant entrance step-and-repeat media backdrop.
Covered Outdoor Patio Space: Located on the exterior walkways directly outside the pavilion entrances. Fully covered overhang protection. Vendor brings own setup.
📋 Compliance Note: To maintain a premium, family-friendly environment that adheres to Simon Properties corporate standards, all displayed items must be original works. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy for counterfeit/knockoff brand designs, weapons, drug/alcohol-related apparel, or unstaffed interactive setups.
