SMU Bazaar - Page 2

unfortunately for us we had also booked for Nov & Dec as the way they advertised was like selling out fast, so fantastic etc. We asked for refund immediately after FS3 for Nov & Dev but they refused and give lame reasons like SMU had restrictions on signages etc and that it is after all aplace to study blah blah. I was like huh? what's the relevance here? So my advice is don't be so kan-cheong and go and book even when they say sellin out fast.

I guess majority of their vendors are SMU students tt is why they say selling out fast. Located within the building hardly draw crowds only own people from SMU moreover its on sat, who on earth who wil actually goes sch on sat?

Precisely! That's why publicity is important to draw the public in..Unless of course if you have stuff that you can sell really cheap and you think it's relevant only to students.

oh dear...so bad huh? i booked the 31st oct n they keep blasting email to me to take on the nov n dec...i tot crowd is good??? My friend who is a SMU student said gd leh..

how about the one organised by weekends, usually 3 days at the 1st level??? anyone tried tt before?

trustNo1 · 25-09-2009, 02:59 PM

yes, they keep blasting the email to say it's going fast that's why we feel pressured to quickly book - so, bad judgment on our part lor..

don't know about the one held on 1st level, but this one is undergroud, dead as a graveyard.. better to go for your oct one first then see how it goes for you, don't commit so fast..

Unless you really have confidence that you have CHEAP N SUITABLE products for them, if not,Good luck to you, i went there 2 times, i swear, i nvr go there anymore, NEVER!!imagine, vendors more than customer(only passby leh..not even those type will stay n browse you stuff), and it's on friday!!
really..think twice..think thrice..think forthss..

I tried out on Aug... Its not that bad.. Well I guess we need to find the correct stuff to sell there... Customers there are mainly students and outsiders. They are looking for bargain stuff...

I'll be taking Oct - Dec too

FEEDYOURCLOSET · 26-09-2009, 11:44 AM

yeah! i agree. i tried the fs 3 it was not bad. some of them didn't have sales while some can sell up to 20 items at the end of the day.

i think it all boil downs to your product

And the stuff there are dirt cheap kind.
Underground so there will be not passerby crowd.
Only flea follower looking for cheap stuff will go down.

I prefer the weekends ones which is on ground level, more walkin crowds.
The last time i join them, there are quite a bit of excutive passerby working nearby who has higher buying power and more willing to pay. However i missed the oct ones from weekends. Will be joining them for the nov ones.
