Important information for prospective exhibitors

Applications Closes on 30 April 2024

Being a previous exhibitor does not guarantee automatic acceptance of your application. Also, please do not assume that general information and arrangements have remained the same as previous years. We are continuously changing and upgrading systems.

All applications must be completed online through our website at ehs.co.za. Applications must be submitted online; emails and faxes will not be considered.

Once your submission is complete, a confirmation message, including all market information and requirements, will be automatically sent to your device. Please be aware that internet connections or high internet traffic volumes may affect submission speed. If necessary, please attempt submission of forms again later.

Submitting your application does not guarantee selection for the Eunice Market. Incomplete applications, lacking accurate information or required photos, will not be considered.

Please review the following information on our selection process.

Selection Process Overview:

Applications are submitted within the designated timeframe via our online Expression of Interest form.
Following the closure of applications, the initial round of selections begins. This involves reviewing your online application and accompanying photos.
At this stage, you may not hear from us immediately. Rest assured, once all applications have undergone initial review, we will contact you. All exhibitors will receive notification via email by May 3, 2024, informing them whether they have been selected to attend the Eunice Market Selection.
If shortlisted for the selection process, to proceed to the second round, you’ll be invited to book a timeslot to present your product(s).

If you’re not selected, please respect our decision. After the selection process concludes, no additional correspondence will be initiated unless cancellations arise. Please keep in mind that your product might be more appropriate for a different target market.

Application Criteria:

Product Originality: Emphasis on uniqueness, quality, and originality.
Market Fit: Products will be positioned strategically to maximize sales potential, considering our evolving visitor profile and table space constraints.
Quality: Exceptional product quality is imperative, as the Eunice Market is celebrated for its commitment to showcasing excellence. We aim to ensure that products purchased remain satisfactory to our customers and avoid any need for returns.
Availability: We prioritize presenting visitors with a unique experience, avoiding overexposed products/applicants.
Production Capacity: We endeavour to ensure all customers have equal opportunities to purchase products throughout the event. Empty table spaces may impact future acceptance and decisions during the selection processes.

Considerations Before Applying:

We do not accept commercial brands already established in the local or nationwide market.
Direct imports are not preferred.
Commitment to the Eunice Market is crucial. Before applying, carefully consider all relevant aspects such as production capacity, supply, and courier costs that may impact your exhibition experience. Cancelling a few days or weeks before the market opens is not acceptable, as it deprives other exhibitors of the opportunity to participate and unfairly imposes short notice on them.
Please be aware that products sold at other local Bloemfontein markets may not be considered for the Eunice Market. It is imperative to ensure that you offer an additional, exclusive, or new product that is not available elsewhere.

All the above points are subject to the discretion of the market selection committee.

Rules and Regulations:

Approval to exhibit at the Eunice Market is non-transferable to another company or person.
Your space will be confirmed only upon receipt of all the necessary information and documentation. It is compulsory to join the WhatsApp group (acting as a notice board) for approved exhibitors within 7 days after receiving the confirmation email that you have been selected as an approved exhibitor.

All exhibitors must make use of the Eunice Market barcodes, unless otherwise communicated.
The Eunice Market Committee cannot be held liable for faulty emails. Failure to communicate during the selection process will result in automatic removal from the system. Correspondence will be conducted solely through the email address provided in the application.
All products, including those of new applicants and existing exhibitors with new ranges, must undergo evaluation before acceptance at our market. No product will be sold if it has not been approved by the Eunice Market Selection Committee.
Selectors reserve the right to propose changes to your range, styling, product pricing, etc.
Products must adhere to copyright laws, and any infringement may lead to cancellation of participation in all future markets and disqualification from selection. Be original.
While every effort is made to ensure security, the Eunice Market assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred during our market.
We endeavour to curate a diverse range of products; nevertheless, we cannot assure the sale, popularity, or specific quantities of any product sold at the market.
The Eunice Market Committee reserves the right to modify the layout as necessary due to circumstances beyond their control.
