GNO is an opportunity for ladies in the Chelsea / Birmingham area to meet up for fellowship, fun, shopping, and of course wine. It is usually held on the 3rd Thursday of each month and there is no cost to attend and reservations are not required.
We typically have 4-5 vendors set up on tabletops where they can market their goods to those in attendance. In November, we host a GNO Market Place where we have 15 or so vendors set up along with live music and food trucks. The typical GNO sees around 50 or so attendees but we have had 90+ in regular GNOs and the GNO Market Place usually sees 120+.
There is not a charge to be a vendor at GNO but we do have guidelines that we like to follow:
- Only 1 type of vendor allowed at each GNO
- Vendors must provide a gift to be raffled off in a gift basket to be given away that evening, preferably from what they are promoting
- Vendors are highly encouraged to attend a GNO as a participant prior to being set up as a vendor
- Vendors are required to promote GNO on their own social media accounts to help drive awareness and attendance to GNO
- Vendors can receive 1 glass of wine on the house, any others must be purchased
- Vendors will be responsible for setup and breakdown of their section
- Cat-n-Bird can provide 1 table, either a high top or 6ft rectangular
- Cat-n-Bird will promote each vendor via social media so vendors are encouraged to have established FaceBook, Instagram, and/or Twitter accounts
