FAQ´s

Q: What is the application/admission process to participate in Spa Boutique for a Cure?

A. Designers submit an application online, and we will respond via email within 7–10 days. Designers only need to send in one application, unless product changes. We keep all applications on file. If you have already filled out an application, please email us at kristy@mylittlepretty.com to inquire about participating in this years event.

Q: How are designers selected?

A. We carefully select designers based on whether their merchandise is a good fit for the event and guests attending.

Q: What are the table space and set up requirements?

A. The table options include:

  1. There are a limited number of 5x2.5’ tables ($125.00) (for smaller inventory designers only)
  2. The standard option of a 6x2.5’ table ($150)
  3. The deluxe option of an 8x3’ table ($250) (these are two 8’ x 18” tables put together so that essentially are 36” wide).

We allow designers to purchase double spaces ($250 / $300 / $500) if space allows. If you are interested in a double space, please let us know asap so we can organize the floor plan accordingly. If designers do not need a table, they can bring their own set up that must fit in the allotted space. We provide two chairs and designers are responsible for their own coverings, display materials, etc. Designers are not allowed to hang anything from the wall. All signage and table decoration must fit within your table space.

Where will I be located?

Every location at our venue is a good one. We carefully place each designer, so no two designers selling similar merchandise are next to each other. Designers will find out their table placement when they arrive to set up the day of the event.

Q: Can I share my table?

A. It is our policy that designers do not share table spaces. Each designer must apply and be invited to participate.

Q: What form of payment is acceptable at the event? What are the price points for the designers?

A. Typically designers accept checks and cash. Many designers accept credit cards as well. Please be aware that there is no online access and electrical access may cost more in fees, so credit card machines are better off if they are manual or wireless. Each designer usually sells their merchandise between their wholesale and retail prices.

Q: Does Spa Boutique for a Cure take a percentage of the designer profits?

A. This is a charity event designed to raise money and awareness as well as exposure for your company. We have kept the table price low to encourage you to donate the 10% of your sales to the charity (and heck, it´s a write off). My Little Pretty makes no money from this event. All proceeds (after paying expenses of the event) go directly to the charities.

Q: What is the application/admission process to participate in Spa Boutique for a Cure?

A. Last year was our first event and we had over 250 people attend. This year, our goal is to bring in even more.

Q: What kind of press will designers get from this event?

A. LA.com has signed on as a sponsor of the event. They will be doing an event write up that will include designer information (as long as you get signed up in time). If you are a designer who has been selected, there will be press releases sent out which will include your company logo and there will also be a post-event press release and post event write up on LA.com. You will get great exposure from this event.

Q: Why do you put on Spa Boutique for a Cure?

A. (by Kristy Nuttall) Breast and Ovarian cancer have both directly affected people in my life that mean a lot to me. It is my goal to continue to create an event that brings together talented designers, caterers, musicians, celebrities and shoppers with heart. I believe that by bringing all these things together, the positive energy that naturally comes from all involved, will bring great things to fruition for everyone (most importantly the charities). Last year as I was cleaning up the venue I overheard one of the shoppers say, "It was such a great event, I can´t wait to come back next year." That, along with the money we raised at our first event, is what drives me to continue this event annually.
