    • Make sure they will partner with you, provide support and have a presence on the day of your event

    • Inquire whether they have a marketing/publicity arm that can help you promote your shop

    • Ask for an annual report so you know where your money is going

    • Ask if they have toolkits, pamphlets or supplies you can use

   2) Keep DCS HQ in the loop! Please fill out and submit this form so we can help you promote your shop and add your info to keep our pop up list updated:
