What can you expect as a vendor at a CREATIVE Women's Week?
Vendors Are Chosen with Intention
​
At Creative Women’s Week, vendors are not just here to sell — they are an integral part of the experience.
Every vendor is carefully selected to ensure they align with the heart of what I create: a space where women feel supported, inspired, and truly valued.
​
I look for vendors who are:
💛 Collaborative over competitive
💛 Kind, patient, and approachable
💛 Genuinely invested in helping other women create and succeed
​
The women at these retreats aren’t just customers — they are part of a shared experience. That means the vendors I bring in are the kind of women who will:
✨ Take the time to answer questions
✨ Encourage and uplift others
✨ Celebrate creativity in all forms
✨ Show up with a spirit of generosity and connection
My goal is to build long-term relationships with vendors, welcoming the same aligned women back year after year. This consistency helps create a familiar, trusted, and deeply connected experience for everyone involved.
​
A beautiful example of this is Marlene Hunter, our Creative Memories/Forever vendor. Marlene has been part of the Saskatchewan events and has now moved into Manitoba. She embodies the same values as Creative Women’s Week, making our partnership a natural and lasting collaboration.
​
Of course, I also ensure vendors bring quality products and meaningful creative value, whether that’s through their supplies, expertise, or the make-and-takes they offer.
​
But more than anything, I choose vendors based on how they show up.
Because the truth is — the energy in the room matters.
​
When you fill a space with women who support, encourage, and lift each other up… something really special happens.
That’s the standard I hold, and it’s why Creative Women’s Week feels the way it does 💕

What Is the Vendor Process
If You Are Both a Vendor and Staying as a Participant
​
You are registered the same as every other participant, with the added bonus of being a vendor.
You will pay the same fees as all other participants
You will be given a crafting table, seated in a corner with your pod of ladies
This allows you to set up and manage your shop right beside you while still fully participating
​
​
Additional Vendor Opportunities:
​
Access to the event Facebook group, where you can:
Take pre-orders
Share sales and promotions
Post about your products as often as you like
(This group is never dissolved, so you can continue selling there long-term)
​
Creative Women’s Week will:
Provide vendor coupons as prizes to encourage shopping
Encourage your collaboration and feedback to create a more profitable and enjoyable experience for you.
​
Vendor Contributions:
​
Host a make-and-take (approx. 24 ladies)
Provide 12 prize items (approx. $10 value each — clearance items welcome!)
If You Are a Vendor Driving Back & Forth (Not Staying On-Site)
​
If you are local and not staying at the retreat, we can create a flexible arrangement that works for you.
Instead of full registration, we will customize your participation
(typically covering things like meals and prize participation, depending on your needs)
You will still:
Have space to set up and sell your products
Participate in the Facebook group promotions
Be included in the overall retreat experience as a vendor
​
Vendor Contributions (same as above):
Host a make-and-take (approx. 24 ladies)
Provide 12 prize items (approx. $10 value each)
Additional Details (For All Vendors)
​
There are no vendor booth fees or additional costs to set up
Tables are provided and set up for you as per your specifications.
​
You will provide via email:
A photo
Website link
A short write-up (50 words or less) for the Creative Women’s Week website
Bonus: If you have a website, it’s greatly appreciated if you mention that you are a vendor with Creative Women’s Week and include a link to the website.
​
It is also helpful if you actively market to fill the event. Most events cap at 24 so I can provide aid to each lady using the equipment such as printing 13x19 photos, digitizing their negatives or using the scan and cut or any other tools they are not familiar with. This is all included with their registration.
Creative Women's Week will be highlighting you as a vendor on the website, Facebook/Instagram page and posts to boost your visibility Canada wide.
​
Your feedback and ideas are always welcome as I continue to refine and elevate the vendor experience.
