We are looking for qualified people to represent Tapestry at State Conventions this year.

  •  You will be providing a real service to parents in your state by manning a booth at your state convention. Every year we get requests from prospective customers to see Tapestry before purchasing it. We are excited that this year, through you, we will meet an additional need of home schooling parents nationwide.
  • We offer you a free year-plan for your upcoming school year. (We ask that you sign up in pairs to man the booth so that, if desired, you can also attend part of the conference. EACH booth vendor will receive a free Year-Plan of her choice.)
  • Vendor teams will receive a percentage of products sold under our new Share & Save program.
    • Each vendor will be given a unique referral number.
    • As you man your booth, simply give this referral number to the guests you talk to.  
    • Whenever they order--that week, that month, or in two years--and for as long as you are their Share & $ave affiliate, you will receive $15 in Lampstand Press gift certificates for every $100 they order. 
    • This 15% referral benefit applies to all orders, whether for curriculum, supplementary products, or books, and works with other discounts, like Bonus Bundles or volume discounts on our Bookshelf. 
    • As you follow up on leads after the conference, or meet new friends with whom you share about Tapestry of Grace, this referral system goes on long after the conference is done.
  • You do not have to pay a fee to host your booth (vendor pass), but a few conferences require an additional fee for either curriculum hall or teaching sessions, which we cannot cover. (Please plan, also, to cover your transportation, lodging, and food expenses.)

We anticipate that Tapestry booth hostesses will be parents who desire to serve others. We recognize that our compensations amount to a heartfelt "thanks!" - not a career.  However, in 2007, our new Share & $ave network affords you with a real opportunity to capitalize on your efforts at the booth throughout the year that follows.

What will Lampstand Press provide me as a vendor?

Lampstand Press wants to help as much as possible! We will provide:

  • Money to cover your booth costs. However: the person designated as the booth team leader will be on the Conference Contract.
  • A "booth kit" will be shipped to you at our expense. This kit will include such things as a booth banner, booth tablecloths, paperwork (order forms, etc.), brochures, instructions on how to set up, man, and fill in paperwork after the booth, binders with sample curriculum, and a flip chart that you can use to explain how Tapestry works.
  • You will be responsible for shipping this booth kit on to the next user immediately after the conference ends at our expense.
  • Lampstand Press will also ship promotional material to be given out at the conference by you. All material left over at the conference's end you will either ship back to Lampstand Press. We will reimburse all shipping costs.

Who can be a State Convention Vendor?

We have several preferences in filling booth vendor slots. Below are our priorities:

  • We will offer vendor spots first to those who have completed at least one full year of Tapestry with their family, and who can therefore speak to prospective Tapestry users from knowledgeable experience. It is our preference that both booth partners be Tapestry users. Ideally we would prefer at least one hostess to be a Redesigned user. If you are unable to find a booth partner yourself, we will help you do so.
  • We will offer vendor spots to state residents first. If no one submits an application for a state remote to you and you would like to represent Tapestry, we will consider out-of-state reps.
  • We will offer vendor spots first to vendor teams--applications that list two people who will work together in the Tapestry booth and be jointly responsible for sales and paperwork if it is a new convention for us, but please apply if you are unable to get a partner.

If you would like to receive a State Convention Booth Vendor application, follow these steps:

  • Check the list and the calendars for those conventions that are already taken. Please do NOT apply for any state conventions listed as "taken."
  • Find out the dates and location of your state convention.
  • Try to find a "booth mate"--a fellow vendor to share representation with if it is a new convention for us. If you cannot find a booth mate, please apply anyways. We are happy to match booth vendors who may not presently know each other.
  • Email our Conferencing Department with the Booth Hostess Application.

*(If you can't become a convention vendor, consider holding a Tapestry Tea in your home!
