Re: Flea Market/bazaar - How Much and Where?
 

Hello!

a. how much are you willing to pay for a stall per day?
$10 to $25
If it's more than that its not that worth, cos owners have to make their own transport over there and such.

b. where would you think would be perfect?
Place with crowd of cos! Preferably the place is reachable by MRT/BUS and is easy to get to!

c. which is the best bazaar you've participated/gone to?
None at the moment.

Hi,

It's will be my 1st time setting up a bazzar stall..i would be willing to pay around 20-60 per day..i intend to sell stuff imported from the UK, majority being Disney collectibles. Hence the products would be quite pricey..hopefully the crowd would be those that are more affluent? yeaps..pls pm me if u are indeed setting up a bazzar..thanks!! =D

Re: Flea Market/bazaar - How Much and Where?
 

hi all,

i m selling handicrafts online n recently decided to come out from e cave to meet more pp n let my brand get more exposure.

i had done abit of reseach on getting a stall in bazaar/ flea-market. Alot of pp r willing to pay more for good location with good flow, but end of e day this doesnt mean tat everyone will get a good profit out of it.
So u, the 'boss' had to calculate everything in;
SALES - Material Cost - Rental Fees - Misc = Profit
But!! is this profit worth your percious time selling at e stall?
If you are just trying get more exposure to the public, then u had to know who is your target audience. This is very important, so that u wont waste ur money n life sitting there with no sales.

back to the topic;

A: How much are u willing to pay for e rental?
*this had to depends on e crowd n location cum facility given. crowd/ no crowd, any power point support, indoor/outdoor, air-con/ non air-con?
this is just a guide, sometime u had to give n take for e previlege given.
for first timer better to get a lower rental fees one than one shot get high rental fees one, gain more exprience n build a stronger $$ backup b4 u chiong! cos u wont wan to return in empty pockets end of e day, n had no more $ power for next battle.

B: Where u think it would b prefect?
(omg... this is going to b a looonng winded one):coffee:
Actually, all of us would think of cos its town area, good crowds. but this mostly means high rental too. Many of the online-bosses look around for flea-market or bazaar, did anyone out there think of organise an office shopping spree? Some pp jus dun go to flea-market/bazaar. Working adults have better spending power, do u think so? and this save us some cost on e rental fees too, u save ur rental here n give them discount to catch hold of their heart, n then they happy u happy, win-win solution:yippee: . u may not need to bring all ur stuffs there, but mayb half of wat u will bring to sell in e bazaar/ flea-market, the rest take pics to show them, if they want then u mail it to them. get some other bosses who are selling different things from u, ask fren to pull threads n intro u into their office. n must do homework, do survey what e pp wants to c most. Wah... earning good $$ seems difficult, but once u got it right, its as easy as ABC. :applause:

C. which is the best bazaar you've participated/gone to?
I quite like MAAD, as e location itself had bring my brand to another level. And its air-conditioned with a 3x3ft table n a chair, with power-point supply too.

All of the above are just my 5cents worth.:D

Re: Flea Market/bazaar - How Much and Where?
 

Do email me if there is any good flea or bazzar around.

Rental - appx $30-80 (depending on location)
Loction - Town / School / Office building are pretty good.
Best Join - Hereen. Recently joined the hereen youth box booth, the sales are not too bad. Looking for around for others.

Re: Flea Market/bazaar - How Much and Where?
 

Are you sure? i went down to flea-tique organised weekend art and craft bazaar and i saw you, your stall (i recognised your logo) and other vendors. but i saw no crowd. :rolleyes:

Re: Flea Market/bazaar - How Much and Where?
 

Seriously, do people go to The Cathay to shop? No.. They go there to watch show, eat ben and jerrys and also eat astons! so i dun think people will entertain us poor flea market tenants. sigh.

Re: Flea Market/bazaar - How Much and Where?
 

Hi all, new to this forum and glad to see discussions about bazaars. I sell my handcrafted items online as well as at bazaars.

Personally, I feel that different items sell well in different locations. For my items, cos I make crochet bags and greeting cards etc, my best sales have been in places where there is a good mix of adults and tertiary students. A uni or poly bazaar would be good if I can get a stall.

Rental fee: preferably between $20 to $50, depending on whether there is shelter and air-con
