How's Sales @marina Barrage - Page 2

Rob82lim · 08-07-2009, 07:01 PM

Hi secretgarden, once again thank you for buying my things at M.B

Regarding the sales at M.B, i agree with secretgarden that the crowd on that day is going for 2nd hand items. From what i see, only vendors selling 2nd hand manage to sell a lot and vendors selling new products can earn a bit or cover rental or loss money, except the vendor that is selling balloon

I was thinking of clearing my stocks there, my target on that day is cover rental and transportation only but in the end i loss money

There is a thing for sure, the restaurant beside the bazaar which took out a table to sell soft drinks hot dog and sandwiches will be smiling as they earn quite a lot from us vendors at the bazaar

Crowds there is but rainning almost the wholeday.Sales at almost cost prices yet could barely cover rental as buying power is slow.Sadly somehow i realise that the organiser is not being honest as there are some people looking for booth space at there for rent &got it at full rental price yet i was offer by the organiser to let go at half the rental price saying that IS the vendors that offer to take over at half the rental which later i realise was not true.On the day itself,my original booth space was occupy by another vendors which how could 2 vendors allocate to the same booth table?Which the organiser claim is the admin errors?

Which i was offer to take a lastmin rectangle table at the far end corner near the toilet?!As my display items needs a standard 3ftx3ft table & i know that vendor.He was easy-going & gentlemen enough to let me use my original booth space.

As originally i was looking for vendors to take over my booth space as i was sick yet when there i realise that there are people looking for booth to rent but cant find space & was charge at full rental when i was offers to let go at half rental price by the organiser??!& on the day 2 vendors was allocated to the same booth when the other vendor actually book last minute?So we can guess roughly why such things as 2 vendors allocate to the same booth could happen?

Lucky i didnt take the offer to let go at half rental space if not i will have make a big lost gana cheated & boiling hot now!Regarding of whether will i take marina barrage again or taking event thru the same organisers i will reconsidered & think twice about it.

secret now you must think twice working with SUCH organiser...cus there are really bad comments about this organiser that i heard when i do bazaar at other place until me and my partners decides to rather make less den sign up with them...

hmm..you quite near my table but i didnt notice much as lots of them selling 2nd hand stuffs & dark without lights & rainning whole day.One of them actually met before at other event while some is thru conversations then realise they from pushcart forum too not really know on sight.I notice you going M.B too but forgot to lookout for you to say hi.

That time thru other topics under forums i thought you going to organise events or something?

Dont quite understand what is event displays is it those stuffs needed to setup for a event?

Ya the sunshades stores was one of those with the best SALES

until it starts rainning.The others are the balloons booth follow by those selling 2nd hand stuffs.I havent open sales yet & my mum already wandering around & spenting $100+ buying from vendors.I'm not doing well either as i'm selling all 1st hand stuffs & all above $10+ .There's 3 little gals looking for accessories earrings at only $0.50??!Dont even know which store is selling so cheap.

Mystech · 10-07-2009, 11:54 PM

I dont know as she buy many stuffs,i think she buy 2 blue hats is that from your store?The lifestyle i'm still considering but dont think will be taking as H1N1 kind of lesser the crowds & GSS kind of affects the sales too.Its a fleamarket too yakw?M.B my 1st kind of disappointed since i'm not selling 2nd hand stuffs.Have you go to the heart market before?

I just came back from the heart market. Guess what, i got almost zero sales.

Sales was better for me at M.B.
