Community Summer Concert

INFO VENDOR

INFO VENDORS

EDUCATE & OUTREACH DURING THE CONCERT

to provide the Greenwood community, especially youth/teens, greater access to household and neighborhood preparedness/safety, relief/rebuilding efforts, and local resources.

Potential Info vendors be advised that although education and outreach materials provided during the concert are self-determined/created by the collaborating informational vendors of their own accord, without oversight from GreenwoodBlastsOff, education and outreach content should be appropriate for ages 7-17.

STAFFING/SCHEDULING: Check-in/set-up is promptly at 10am on Sunday August 28th at the Fred Meyer Parking Lot : 100 NW 85th St. Seattle, WA 98117. The event is from noon-6pm. Take-down is anywhere from 6pm-7pm depending upon unforeseen circumstances, eg: performances going overtime. If one of the individuals manning your info vendor education & outreach station is 11-17, you need to obtain a guardian permission slip for them to do so and have it on hand, and if they are 10 or under, their guardian must be present at all times.

INFORMATIONAL VENDING is NOT

PROMO or MARKETING VENDING.

This means that INFORMATION takes presedence over the MARKETING of the companies/individuals outreaching, eg:

NO: FOOD / DRINK GIVE AWAYS

This concert does not have a food or drink dispersing permit, which means if you or your organization does so, you will be breaking the permit parameters and liable to pay the fine incurred as a result.

YES: YOU CAN USE SIGN-UP SHEETS, eg: if folks would like to learn more about your company later, or join a mailing list etc. You can encourage attendees to visit your website for more information about your organization, but remember to have the majority of your interactions be about topical information vs. marketing information.

INTEREST FORM

The form below is to submit

Info Vendor Education + Outreach Interest

If you're connecting about general corespondence, press queries, or website technical support visit the "Contact" page.

If you are interested in volunteering at GreenwoodBlasts Off Community Concert, contact the organization directly that corresponds to your interest, or visit the "Volunteers" page.

If you are an individual or business interested in sponsoring an in-kind or fiscal donation, visit the "Collaborate, Sponsor, Donate" page.

If you are a Greenwood youth/teen or adult stage act interested in performing, visit the "Performing Interest" page.

NO: LOGO MERCH : KEYCHAINS, STICKERS, T-SHIRTS etc

All of these branded items are considered MARKETING, so although you can wear a t-shirt yourself that prominently displays your company logo so attendees can identify your affiliation, you cannot give away that t-shirt.

YES: A 6' TABLE AND 2 CHAIRS WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE ALL SIGNAGE & DECORATIONS FOR YOUR TABLE, PACK IN + OUT, BRING A TABLE SKIRT, MAKE YOUR SIGNAGE VISIBLE FROM AFAR READABLE BY YOUTH, AND LEAVE THE TABLES AND CHAIRS AS YOU FOUND THEM.,eg: utilize tape that is removable without residue. Some informational vendors will share a table, eg: if each group only has one representative. Your signage can include your company's name and logo, but your company or logo should not be the title, eg: Phinney Neighborhood Association's signage should say "GREENWOOD DISASTER RELIEF INFORMATION" as the title with "Phinney Neighborhood Association" as the educating/outreaching organization providing the information vs. the header being "PHINNEY NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION" and the subtitle being Greenwood Disaster Relief. These nuances are why we're requesting you submit an example of the materials you plan to outreach with by 4pm Thursday August 25th to the e-mail that will be provided to you should you/your organization be approved as an info-vendor.

NO: MARKETING OF ONLY YOUR BUSINESS

For example, if your business is a resource to Greenwood teens, your business can be included on a flyer called "GREENWOOD TEEN RESOURCES", which would list additional resources beyond your business, but your business cannot be the only one listed. If your business is managing waste, your outreach materials cannot just be your hauling rates, rather it should educate generally about "WHAT HAPPENS TO WASTE DURING A DISASTER CLEAN UP?" within which links to your website or hauling rates can be included. INFORMATION is the prominent message of the marketing and outreach of an informational vendor.

YES: THIS IS A YOUTH/TEEN GEARED EVENT so your marketing should be accessible to ages 7-17 at the least, and use of visuals vs. only text is highly recommended. If your materials contain information that you anticipate some guardians may desire to exercise their discretion re: whether or not their child access the materials on their own, create a sign that alerts them, eg: "guardian approved access for ages 13+under"

NO: ASKING FOR DONATIONS

Although informational vendors may not ask for donations, donations can be accepted if given.

If you, your business, or organization would like to share your interest in informational vending at GreenwoodBlastsOff Community Summer Concert, submit the "Info Vendor Education & Outreach Interest Form" below without expectation of acceptance, confirmation or reply. Though you will receive an automated alert indicating that your form was successfully submitted, if you, your business, or organization do not receive a reply email confirming that you have been approved as an information vendor, assume that you have not been approved.

GreenwoodBlastsOff reserves the right to determine approval of informational vendors without rationale disclosure. Informational vendors must be pre-approved by GreenwoodBlastsOff, and the presence of non-approved informational vendors will be considered trespassing on private property.
