Feedback: Bazaars @ Clark Quay

pyxis goko · 11-06-2009, 05:55 PM

Hi,

Anyone tried the bazaars @ Clark Quay in May & June? How's the crowds there? Was your sales good?
I saw the organizer is charging quite high ~ min $300/table. I was wondering if it is possible to cover the rental alone.

All feedback are welcome.

Hi there,

I have done clark quay Bazaar twice.
Yes, I had the same sentiments as you too on whether i can cover the rent alone?
From these 2 times, I must say that firstly, There traffic flow there is excellent and best of all, the people there have spending power. Sold a couple of items for over $100+.
Manage to cover rent on both occasion and made some $$.
Do consider the bazaar

I think overall, still need to depend on what kind of items you are selling and whether you are able to attract people to buy. =)

went for this bazaar few times...the recent bazaar at Clarke Quay was 5-6 JUN

Sharing with friend ($150 per person for 2 days) ...the buying power is weak..only can cover rental..no profit..even loss if include manpower, transportation cost..

Going to try in JUL...if still weak...going to withdraw it..

Really hard to make profit

Wow..., after reading the comments, it seems to me that it really depends on which month to get one, our materials cost must be very low, or to mark-up your end products high to cushion the rental + materials cost but not our labour cost. Sad to say that but I think is quite true.
The only thing to comfort ourselves is to treat it as 'create awareness of our products', isn't it?
