Sales & Solicitation Tables

I would like to know what you call your "sales & solicitation" tables on your campuses?  (ie the areas you allow student groups to sell tickets, promote an event, or raise awareness of an issue, etc.)   

 

Currently, in our facility, we called them Sales & Solicitation tables; however, while in the process of designing signs for these areas, we began to wonder if students would really know what that meant and if there was a better name to call this type of function/table.  Students usually just ask for a "table" when reserving a space for this type of activity but I don't think that would make for a very good sign.  : )

 

Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated

We reserve tables in our main campus square for primarily organizational information.  We have a Vendor's Row outside the main entrance to the Viking Union where we have four contracted local food vendors, and adjoining tables for bake sales, ticket sales, information, etc. for student orgs.  You can find our "Sales of Goods and Services" Policy here:

We just call them booths or booth space. All booths have same set up - 1-8' table, 4 chairs, 1 easel if needed.

 We call ours loggia or vendor tables.  the tables are 6' tables and come with 2 chairs and vendors must stay at or near the table and all materials must fit on or behind the tables.

Anita-  Nothing fancy for us, we call them "Student Org Tables" and they are free to any registered student organization.  Outside vendors are allowed to come in, but we charge $120 for a table so that keeps the use very low.  The area the tables are in is called the Kirby Commons (in Kirby Student Center).  We have about 15 tables we can set up, depending on demand.  Mon-Thur most of the tables are full.
