Overview
Showcase Merchants occupy a premium display area curated for focused storytelling, seasonal highlights, or themed collections. These spaces offer high visibility but smaller footprints than Anchor spaces.
1. Space Management & Merchandising
- You are responsible for merchandising, restocking, and maintaining your Showcase display regularly.
- Displays must remain full, organized, and visually compelling.
- Fixtures are typically provided by Belleville Market; modifications require approval.
2. Inventory & Stock Levels
- You bring in and manage all inventory for your Showcase display.
- Inventory accuracy in ConsignCloud is required at all times.
- Merchants should plan for frequent replenishment, as Showcase displays rely on consistent stock to maintain visibility and impact.
3. Branding & Display Enhancements
Minimal branding is allowed—typically small signage or brand identifiers integrated into the display.
Themes may be set seasonally by Belleville Market; your participation is strongly encouraged.
- You set pricing for your products.
- Participation in Belleville Market promotions strongly encouraged depending on the season or placement.
- Independent discounting or promotions should be coordinated in advance.
5. Support & Oversight
- Merchant Support will not merchandise for you but may adjust small items to maintain store standards.
- Support may step in if:
- displays are empty or understocked
- visual presentation standards are not met
- safety or guest flow concerns arise
- monthly sales fall below assigned sales goal as stated in merchant agreement
6. Term, License Fee & Commission Structure
- Showcase placements run shorter-term:
- Month-to-month or 3-month terms, depending on category or season.
- Renewal is based on performance, category needs, and store planning.
- Showcase Merchants pay a short-term license fee, typically month-to-month or 3-month cycles.
- All sales are processed through the Belleville POS and subject to the standard commission rate.
- The license fee provides premium visibility and priority placement in high-traffic zones.
