INTRODUCTION First and foremost thank you again for booking a stand with The Rare Brand Market, your business is appreciated.

We spend a lot of time on this information pack, because we want you to know that we take our job as the venue hirer, and event organizer very seriously. We also do it with so much care because we want you to have all the information you need to trade successfully and smoothly.

If there are mistakes concerning your booking or any information quoted about your brand in this document that is incorrect, please be assured that this is an internal information pack and is not published anywhere on our website. Please just contact us ASAP via email to enquiries@therarebrandmarket.co.uk As our advertising states – we believe we are West Sussex’s most stylish Christmas Market and we aim to make Christmas shopping “Elegantly Easy”.

The market will have circa x70 Bijou Brands from Clothing, Accessories, Gifts, Home-wares, Children’s goodies, Toiletries, Food and Drink. The break down should be approximately 25% Food and Drink and 75% is the rest of the categories, so the customers really can get all their Christmas shopping done under one roof, plus enjoy a social coffee or light lunch/afternoon tea thus making Christmas shopping more of a pleasure. Please see the list of brands booked on the following page.

As you know this will be our second year at Winchester, we believe the same GAP in the retail sector is there, just like we found in Chichester 10 years ago! Winchester is an affluent City…voted /reviewed many times as a top 25 location to live in the UK, it benefits from being only one hour from London yet has glorious “village life” all around it. So a strong affluent area in fact with over 40 prep schools within 40 mins of Winchester. However it has an “expensive” retailing letting scene which is prohibitive to independent retail thus leaving Winchester with a “big brand homogenized high street”.

We have been tirelessly working on the local marketing since early September, and have had a dedicated staff member Hillary working on an extensive marketing campaign within the Winchester area.

As you should know following your conversations with us to date, the Winchester market trading hours will be 10am to 8pm on Wednesday and 10am – 4pm on Thursday. The Guildhall is actually in the high street, so footfall will be different to what we experience at Goodwood. During the actual event we will continue to “leaflet the streets” to targeted consumers to generate extra “walk-by footfall”. This year we have the added benefit of being in Winchester for the ”Christmas Lights Switch on” on Thursday 15 th November and we have been advised by the Guildhall that footfall in the city will be even greater for this event.

Enjoy reading the pack, any comments let us know. The Rare Brand Market team will certainly be spending all of our time on “shouting from the rooftops” about the Market to ensure we are firmly posted in peoples diaries as the must-do Christmas shopping event in Hampshire!.

HOW TO GET TO THE WINCHESTER AND THE GUILDHALL For Sat Nav’s and driving, the full address is: Guildhall Winchester Broadway, Winchester SO23 9GH Winchester City Centre is signposted off the M3 motorway.

Over the page we have posted a map of the city centre, showing the Guildhall and also all the parking around it.

This is also a brilliant map from the city council website http://www.visitwinchester.co.uk/sites/default/files/citycentre_map_final.p df

YOUR STAND LOCATION, STAND COSTS, INVOICES AND FINAL PAYMENTS Your stand location: At the point of booking we aim to agree a stand location with you. Sometimes the stand number changes because of venue layout changes and the numerical layout of the venues, but your stand position should stay as agreed from the outset, e.g. the booking stage.

Please make sure that you look at the floor plan carefully and ensure your stand is on the plan and if you did book electrics that you can see that on the plan. If any problems we would need you to contact us straight away to get electrics on if not too late. We will not be able to adjust anything on the actual event days as this is too logistically challenging. Sometimes we do take late bookings because of a stand cancellation for domestic reasons, in this circumstance the plan may be effected late in the day, so we reserve the right to tweak the plan to make sure the event layout works for the consumer and for the brand/exhibitor.

Your stand costs: We sell stand space at our event in the form of 6ft and 4ft trestles (both 2ft6” depth) and via specially agreed “space only” pitches. Each type of space/stand sold has a price tag according to what you have told us you need. Some brands who book early to get the best spots, in the best location’s and with the best space have paid a premium for this.

With regards to the space you have been allocated…If you end up coming with roller rails, furniture or other display kit in addition to your stand space then WE HAVE TO KNOW about this. We need to allocate space to you in accordance with how you need to set up your stand. Please make sure you inform us about your space requirements accurately, so that if you need more than your booked table, we know about it. Different charges may need to be applied.

TRBM is VAT registered. So 20% does get applied to all our charges.

Power or EXTRA Lighting for your stand is charged EXTRA – please make sure you have booked it with us. If we have had a booking from you for Electrics then we will have marked your stand with a BLUE P SYMBOL– please double check to make sure the plan had this for you, if it does not then please email enquiries@therarebrandmarket.co.uk Receipts and Invoices: You should have received your receipt/invoice to confirm your stand purchase (deposits and final balances) this would have come by email. Please contact us ASAP if you have not: accounts@therarebrandmarket.co.uk Some brands pay by credit or debit card, you should have received an email to confirm payment this way.

Final Payments: We send out all final invoices 8 wks before the event date, it is the brands responsibility to notify us of preferred payment method. If a credit card has been used for the deposit, unless you tell us otherwise we will seek to use it again for the final balance as it is an ‘open sale’ and we are within our rights to ‘close’ that sale unless you have told us about an alternative payment method eg BACS. Exhibitors/Brands cannot trade without full payment as per our terms and conditions.

STOP PRESS !

The Rare Brand Market also release press packs to local newspapers. We organize press photo shoots as well to try and aid editorial coverage. Please see examples of previous press pack material below.

The Rare Brand Market was founded in 2008, with a view to bridge the vast gap between a London style shopping event and a regional charity fair. Pop-up Markets to date have been mainly on The Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, but have now expanding to Winchester, and next year Bath.

The Rare Brand Market focuses on emerging brands, brands that are likely to have been created in the last 1 to 3 years. Approximately 60 brands will occupy The Guildhall, of which approximately one third are based within an hour of Winchester and the remainder from London or national.

These are brands you won’t find on the high street and are created by businesses that have great back stories. Winchester shoppers will have the ability to source unique products at a time when an alarming number of independent shops seem to be disappearing from our increasingly homogenized high street.

So, if you want to find unique products and meet the founders behind them then come to our markets...they are always in fabulous venues, never outside or in a marquee. Shopping has become soulless, The Rare Brand Market puts the theatre back into shopping, we make it pleasurable and wholesome again.

Stylish shopping is guaranteed – leaving empty handed is not !!

Founder Emma Schwarz, who’s lived on the South coast all her life, has been a retailer since her teens, working for Big giants like Marks and Spencer PLC, medium brands like Sofa Workshop and luxury product start ups. More recently she found herself consulting with the Limewood Hotel Group, in the New Forest. She helped to create their exclusive retail range. She is also a huge foodie and has judged with The Guild of Fine Food / Great Taste Awards and has written two Cookbooks and published a Food Magazine.

The Guildhall in Winchester has been chosen for its central location and beautiful interior, with the market occupying the whole of the first floor.

Our different offering will compliment Winchester’s celebrated Christmas Market and high street markets. With The Rare Brand Market’s distinctive shopping experience and curation of brands, we really are a pop-up Lifestyle Shopping dream come true!

THE WINCHESTER/HAMPSHIRE AMBASSADOR SCHEME and THE PREP SCHOOL CHARITY SCHEME 81 women have been contacted to be local ambassadors for us – their job is to tell a minimum of 10 women about the Market, we have given them specific leaflets to pass on. If they get 10 or more people through the door, the brand ambassador receives a £125 facial or massage at Heckfield Place, Hampshire which is our way of thanking them for being involved in the scheme.

35 independent and soughtafter local schools have been contacted within a 35 mile radius of Winchester. Lots of these schools actively on board by requesting tickets for book bags and receptions.

GIVING BACK The Rare Brand Market likes to give back so we are thrilled to announce that we have been working in conjunction with The Murray Parish Trust and Breast Cancer Haven, Wessex which will share a proportion of ticket revenue.

Sarah Woods, Breast Cancer Haven Corporate Fundraising Officer said, “We are thrilled that The Rare Brand Market has selected Breast Cancer Haven to support for the year. We look forward to working in partnership with them to not only raise vital funds but also raise awareness with their retailers and customers as many may know someone who has been affected by the disease. Breast Cancer Haven is a charity, offering free emotional support; help with symptom control and practical advice to anyone affected by breast cancer from its network of centres in the UK. Everyone is welcomed; whether recently diagnosed, in treatment, or seeking help to lead a healthy life after their treatment has finished. The Wessex centre, based in Titchfield, supports anyone from the South Coast and relies on community fundraising and corporate support to fund each visitor's individualised programme of supportive therapies."

Actors, parents and founders of The Murray Parish Trust, Sarah Parish and James Murray said "We're absolutely delighted that The Rare Brand Market have chosen to support The Murray Parish Trust.

Giving back is a really important part of the company's ethos, and our partnership will bring us closer still to achieving our own goal of funding a state-of-the-art new Children's Emergency Department at University Hospital Southampton, serving much of the South of England".

STAND PRESENTATION As we have been called ‘‘West Sussex’s’’ most stylish Christmas Market we like to think that we live up to our name.

Our venues and our brand selection do most of the work for us on this front but your stand presentation helps too.

Please see some images of our previous exhibitors and feel free to call us to run through any ideas for your stands presentation.

LOAD IN AND LOAD OUT INFORMATION As communicated by email, The Guildhall has only x6 loading bays for exhibitor set up, so we need to give you all allocated time slots for setting up. We will take into consideration your requests for “ideal times” – but bear with us as we need to accommodate x 65 of you, so we all need to be a little flexible.

Load in commences at 2pm on Tuesday 13th of November and finishes that day at 6pm.

Load in then starts again at 6am Wednesday 14th and finishes at 9am. So that we are ready for the start of trading at 10am.

We are still going through all your individual requests, some of you are still left to reply! – so we will construct a finalized “load-in slot timetable” by the end of W/C 5th November, so that you all have it just under a week before the Market.

For Load Out we will communicate plans to your stands on the morning of the 14th November.
