A few helpful details

Before you
get listed.

Do I need my own website?

No. Your page lives within the Sebago Lake Contractor Index website. You can use it as a place to introduce your business and link to it from Facebook, business cards or booth signs. A separate domain name is not included.

When does my year start?

Your 12 months begin when your approved page is published. We’ll contact you about renewing before the year ends. This offer does not automatically charge you for another year.

Can people buy products on my page?

Your page directs shoppers to your existing shop or contact information. You handle ordering, payments, shipping and pickup. The listing does not include an online checkout, and SLCI does not take a commission on your sales.

What if I need to change something?

Routine changes to contact details, shopping links, confirmed fair dates and short descriptions are included during your paid term. Extra pages, redesigns and extensive rewrites are quoted separately and require your approval. Email SLCI with changes; no website login is needed.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

You can cancel before publication and receive a full refund if you have already paid. After publication, removal is available on request, but change-of-mind cancellations are not refunded. Duplicate payments and any part of the term SLCI cannot provide are refunded. Read the full craft listing terms.

Does a listing guarantee sales?

No. A listing gives you a business page and a place in the crafts guide. It does not guarantee traffic, inquiries or sales. Paid placement is identified as a paid listing.

Can I just submit a craft fair?

Yes. Basic craft fair listings are free and reviewed before publication. Submit a fair or correction here.
