EARLY TEARDOWN POLICY & SHOW RULES
Early booth breakdown is strictly prohibited. Due to an increase in complaints from buyers and exhibitors on this issue, Rosehill Gift Shows is committed to eliminating these practices from the show floor.
An exhibitor is in violation of early breakdown if they start to break down their booth, remove product from their shelves, box up product and are unable to conduct business in their booth PRIOR TO 5 PM. Show Management will be on the show floor to enforce compliance of this policy, if your booth is breaking down, we will take photographs and ask you to stop. If the action continues we will take photographs again and your company will receive a violation of $1000 as well as forfeit the opportunity to participate in the show.
Companies in violation of this policy are jeopardizing their booth location for future shows and the fine must be paid prior to being able to reserve space in subsequent shows. Please keep this in mind when making staffing decisions and travel arrangements for the show. Buyers get very upset when they arrive and see you tearing down your booth.
SHOW RULES
Vendors must adhere to all booth rules and regulations as outlined within the Terms and Conditions as well as:
-
Merchandise to be sold and booths must remain intact until 5pm on the day of the show (Sunday).
-
Vendor agrees to conduct all business within their contracted space.
-
Vendor agrees to maintain all product, storage items, extra boxes, materials, etc. within its contracted space or vehicle.
-
No yelling or hawking at customers from your booth. No disturbing other exhibitors or their customers.

We appreciate your cooperation in creating a professional business environment for our industry buyers.
IMPORTANT
If you are contacted by a person or company offering to sell you a contact list for our show, know that:
- We don’t sell, rent, lend out, allow peeking, etc. of our list.
- If you receive a solicitation email that states they have a database for Rosehill Gift Shows or any one of our shows, the information provided did not come from us.
These so-called marketing groups target every trade show they can find. We do not in any way endorse or recommend these companies and in fact, we suggest deleting any and all messages you receive from them. Any business arrangements regarding the event that you may make through unaffiliated third-party companies are at your own risk and expense. Again – we do not sell, rent, lend out, etc. our list.
