2014 show schedule has been changed

If you have signed up for shows in 2014 then you need to make sure you see the new dates for most of the shows.

HOME PARTY COMPANIES

I have 3 shows this year 2014 that I will allow 2 vendors to participate because they are in separate locations in the facility. Maple Grove spring and fall 2014, Forest Lake winter show and Rosemount winter show. Another reason is because there are boutiques now piggy backing me(or booking shows at the same time so they don't have to advertise) which puts the same vendors in the same place only in different locations at these facilities. I am booking the extra room that the Boutiques are using so I can fill them up with vendors as well. Take note of my rule changes. Thank you

ATTN NORWEX,ORIGAMI OWL,COOKIE LEE REP'S

Norwex, Origami Owl, Cookie Lee Reps have booked all the Carousel shows thru the end of 2014. Please no other reps need to apply or sign up online for any 2014 shows. Thank You Please try again in August when the 2015 shows are released.

Welcome to Carousel Craft Shows!

Arts and Crafts We are the number one organizer and promoter of high quality art and craft shows serving the Twin Cities, Minnesota, and Midwest areas for 25 years. Here are 7 reasons why you should use Carousel Craft Shows.

Our craft shows are extremely successful because we are committed to spending a higher percentage of revenues on advertising than any other promoter. All craft shows are advertised in one way or another with many local papers, big black signs, mailed post cards, Every Door Direct Mail (EDDMS), Radio, TV Commercials for Blaine/Andover and Rosemount shows coming in the fall 2013.

Vendors at our craft shows are some of the finest arts and crafts people from Minnesota, Wisconsin and other Midwest areas. At each show they offer a wide variety of unique art, crafts, gifts, and services.

Carousel Craft Shows believes our success depends on our efforts to make our vendors successful and we are dedicated to making that happen through our advertising, quality craft show locations, and the new phenomenon 365itnow.com.

Carousel Craft Shows is partnered with 365itnow.com. 365itnow is the next big thing where consumers are going to go shop for small businesses all in the same place...It is built for every small business owner, independent rep, independent agent, sole proprietor, partnership, hobbyist, moon lighter, etc..

Every small business owner can have their store front on the internet and consumers will be able to shop them locally and support their community from the comfort of their own home.

I have developed this online marketplace along with 2 other small business owners to give every small business owner the opportunity to compete for the consumers dollar just like big business..It has been far too long listening to everyone talk about small business being the back bone of the American economy and in the end it loses out to big business every time.

365itnow will change all the rules on the way people locate and shop small business. We will be making sure all the small businesses registered are well taken care of because we will be creating the largest community of small businesses in the USA all in one place...with that comes stability for all members and the ability to negotiate terms for anything as a group not just as single business.
