How does all of this work?

Heart to Home is a creative community of shoppes all under one roof.

What is the first step?

first step in our process is to fill out an Artisan application (link to application).

What happens after I submit my application?

After you submit your application, you will receive an automated response notifying you that we received your application. This email is just confirmation that we have received your application and it has been filed for review.

I’m having trouble submitting my application. What should I do?

Be sure your pictures are the correct file size. If you do this and your application still does not send, you can send the requested information to info@heartandhomedecor.com. The Subject line should read “Artisan Application”.

What is the timeframe for my application to be reviewed?

Applications for Heart to Home are reviewed based on available store openings. This may be immediately, or later down the road. If your products are a match for Heart to Home, we will contact you when we have the appropriate opening for you.

When will I hear back?

If we decide to move forward with your application, we will contact you to set up a meeting to review the next steps. If you haven’t heard from us, it could mean one of several things: your product may not be the best fit for Heart to Home, or your products may not be the right fit for our store now, or we may not currently have the proper space available for your product.

How much does it cost?

Artisans pay a monthly rent as well as a small commission fee. Booth pricing varies throughout the store depending on the size of the booth and its location within the store. Once we’ve accepted your application, we will set up an appointment with you. During that appointment, we will review pricing and terms and conditions.

Does the store keep a commission as well?

Yes, Heart tot Home does keep a small commission in addition to the monthly rent payment. This commission pays for things like the trained staff, advertising, and the materials necessary to operate the front desk and sell Artisans’ products.

How long is the lease?

The initial commitment required is either a 6-month or 12-month term, and then renews on a month-to-month basis.

What’s required of Artisans?

Artisans are required to abide by their contracts, keep a fully stocked and attractive booth space appearance, engage in social media requirements, and take responsibility for all products in your booth and sales.

Are Artisans required to work at the store?

No, We work for you, not the other way around.

How often do you post on social media?

Everyday! We have a social media manager that makes daily posts and monitors the comments.

Can I share a space with someone?

This is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Each booth space is separated for Artisans to create and personalize their individual booth to be in line with their business and brand. If you have a business partner you’d like to work with, please include this information in your application so we can review both products and styles.

Can I be an Artisan for special events only?

Heart and Home offers several opportunities to be an artisan within the store. Those include brick and mortar store rental space, online store opportunities and opportunities for pop up markets and events.
