Welcome to Shop Small Boutique! To ensure a smooth load-in and load-out process, please carefully follow these instructions.

LOADING IN

When you arrive at the Suncoast loading dock, pull all the way up vertically and do not block the dock! (Photo: Loading Dock Figure 2)
The loading dock will remain open for Suncoast's vendors and trucks. They have priority use of the dock, so please be patient and follow instructions.
Co-Owner Lynn or a volunteer will direct you where to park. Once parked:
1. Unload all of your product by the designated wall with Lynn. DO NOT block walkway or driveway
2. Immediately park your car before bringing your product upstairs.
3. Once parked, return to your items and bring them to the Grand Ballroom (2nd floor) via West elevator (Photo: West Freight Elevator Figure 3) PLEASE BE AWARE: This is a freight elevator! A bell will sound to warn you that the gates are about to close. Get out of the way and DO NOT try to stop the gates!!! This is not like a regular elevator. You cannot stop it from closing.

Important:

DO NOT leave your car parked at the loading dock!
Vendors must bring their own wagon or dolly for transporting products. Suncoast does not provide carts.

CHECK-IN & SETUP

Upon entering the Grand Ballroom, check in with Tim at the front table.
Provide your business name, and he will direct you to your designated space.
The floor plan is final and designed for optimal event flow. Please do not ask to move.
If you requested electricity on your application be sure to bring a 25ft extension cord, power strip, as well as tape to secure it down (prevent tripping)
Check-in deadline: 9:00 AM. All vendors must be set up by 9:30 AM.

Booth Guidelines:

Your space comes with the table(s), linen, and 2 chairs that you reserved. Items must fit within the space you are assigned. Please familiarize yourself with exactly what you reserved. It is your responsibility to fit your product within your designated space.
Some areas may have dim lighting. If needed, bring rechargeable LED lights.
Keep extra totes, wagons, and supplies hidden under your table.
No products or signage should extend beyond your designated space or into the aisles.

DURING THE EVENT

We will be having an Exhibitor Bingo. This is for the attendees and will put them in a drawing for a Grand Prize $500 Amazon Gift Card. This helps to get shoppers to walk around and meet all of you. Take this opportunity to talk about your business and your products. Each exhibitor will initial ONE square on the Bingo Card per person. Do not keep their card. They will turn it in to the front table when they leave.
Smile and greet shoppers.
Network with fellow vendors.
Engage on social media (Facebook LIVE, posts, stories, etc.).
If you need a snack or meal, options are available at the bowling alley snack bar, Du-Par Restaurant & Bakery, and other restaurants downstairs.
The Suncoast provides Wi-Fi. Select "Meeting Room" Login:88128928 Password:288875
If you need assistance, find Tim or Lynn, or visit the Vegas Events and More table outside the Grand Ballroom entrance.

BREAKDOWN & LOADING OUT

The event ends at 5:00 PM. No vendor is allowed to pack up early. Packing up early will exclude you from future shows and you will forfeit paid events.
At 5:00 PM, pack up all items completely before moving them to the loading dock or parking lot.
Once all your items are ready, you may retrieve your car for loading.
DO NOT bring your car to the loading dock first. Work together to ensure a smooth load-out for everyone.

We appreciate your cooperation and thank you for being part of our Shop Small Boutique! Let's have a successful and enjoyable event together.
