LDSPMA Bookstore Sales
Available to presenters and committee members who want to sell approved items through the LDSPMA Bookstore without purchasing a table.
LDSPMA will process sales and retain 10% of sold items to help cover staffing and processing costs.
Important: Who Vendor Tables Are For
Vendor tables are designed for businesses, organizations, and professionals offering products, services, tools, or resources that support creators and industry professionals.
Meet-the-Creators tables are designed specifically for authors, artists, musicians, filmmakers, and creators who want to showcase and sell their own creative work during our Saturday Meet-the-Creators event.
Not a Traditional Sales Floor
Our conference audience is made up primarily of creators and industry professionals—not general consumers.
Because of this, attendees are typically most interested in:
- Educational resources
- Creative tools
- Professional services
- Networking opportunities
- Craft-focused products
- Industry support
Traditional direct-to-consumer merchandise sales are often more limited than at public conventions or expos.
Creators primarily selling their own books, artwork, music, or merchandise are encouraged to participate in the Meet-the-Creators event.
Selling & Bookstore Information
This year, participants have two options for selling items during the conference:
Option 1: Sell Directly from Your Table
Vendors and Meet-the-Creators participants may sell directly from their own tables during approved event times.
All direct sellers are required to obtain a Utah Special Event Sales Tax License, even if they already hold a regular Utah sales tax license.
We will provide guidance and instructions to help participants complete this process.
Option 2: Sell Through the LDSPMA Bookstore
Participants may also choose to sell items through the LDSPMA Bookstore.
With this option:
- No special event tax license is required
- Participants provide their own inventory
- Items may be shipped in advance or delivered onsite
- LDSPMA will process all bookstore sales
- LDSPMA retains 10% of sold items to help cover processing fees and staffing costs
LDSPMA does not purchase inventory from participants.
