Do you make a quality, Vermont made wood product? Calling all Vermont furniture makers, wood turners, toymakers, carvers, cabinetmakers, basket weavers, millwork, flooring, door and window manufacturers, and all others who make products out of wood! You’re invited to be a 2014 vendor at the 11th Annual Vermont Fine Furniture, Woodworking & Forest Festival this September 27-28, 2014 in beautiful Woodstock, Vermont. The event is located conveniently on the Crossroads of Vermont byway on Route 4 during Vermont’s peak foliage tourist attraction time. We want you to have a presence at the premiere Vermont woodworking “Forest to Table” event to make this the one stop shopping experience for homeowners, architects, interior designers, retailers, & more!
For those who haven't exhibited here are just a few things we do for you as a vendor. In 2014 some of our planned marketing efforts will include advertising in Design New England Magazine, Boston Home, Boston Herald, Upper Valley Life, New England Home, & more. We also have plans to work with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), Vermont Dept. of Tourism & Marketing, and WCAX TV Channel 3. We direct mail an invitation to Vermont vacation homeowners and primary residents of Vermont with properties valued at more than $1,000,000. We were pleased to see that the customers present at the 2013 event were quality buyers. Reported sales, orders, and follow-up sales made from weekend ranged from $500 to over $20,000. Hundreds of leads were generated throughout the weekend and connections with wholesale buyers and retailers were established.
We will again partner with Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park for their annual Forest Festival Weekend. The Park will host woodworking and sawmill demonstrations, forest walks, educational activities, and events for the whole family. And, we will again provide shuttle service between venues. As always, we will offer food, entertainment, and activities for everyone to enjoy.
We will be holding the Vermont Furniture & Wood Products Design Competition at the annual event. Details on the entering into the competition by visiting www.vermontwooddesigns.org.
