Location: British Columbia | I'm hosting a clinic this fall and I've had quite a few vendors and companies contact me now about coming out to them.
Some would either like to set up booths and the others would like to offer their services(massage therapy, accupressure, etc). The clinic girls have already paid their registration fees, which covers all my costs, and I don't want to make them pay anymore money than they already have if they don't want a service.
Do I tell the vendors/EMT that they are welcome to attend and offer their services at the clinic but they have to advertise themselves? | |

| I think it would be something you should discuss with the clinician. In my experience, a lot of clinicians have certain lines of tack that they endorse and will have with them. The services like massage, acupressure, etc. being available on site would be a nice addition! As for clothing type vendors, at least at the clinics I've been to, there isn't really a lot of spare time to be browsing and shopping. | |

I should have been more specific, the vendors are reps for things like Formula 1 Noni, Lifewave, compression boots, etc.
And I don't THINK the clinician would mind as it would potentially draw a bigger crowd of auditors, and essentially more money for her.
I'm just curious, do the vendors/massage people take care of attracting their own clients or does it become my problem? | |

IDK I dont think anybody has to really advertise. They are there and can be used or not bu clinic horses, you really dont want people being in extra horses and being in the way of the clinic.
I know when I went to CJs clinic there was a dentist and cryo there. All horses were checked but it was up to me and my pocket book if I wanted to get the work done. | |

I think CJ clinics have alot more riders though. This clinic is limited to 12 spots, so I'd imagine it's not even worth it for someone to come out to do massage? | |

I would still contact the clinician. He/she may have competitors to those vendors who sponsor them. Giving them a courtesy call will give the clinician an opportunity to contact their own sponsors. | |

I would still check with the clinician - if they are sponsored by/endorse a competitor to any of those products, you could be putting them in a sticky spot. As for the service providers, I would tell them that they are welcome to come, but make it clear there will only be 12 riders and they are responsible for advertising/promoting themselves. | |
