Any Advise to Newbie Like Me

jamie123 · 27-03-2009, 11:14 PM

I am keen to start my business venture and it has been my dreams to own a shop by myself. I had ordered some goods from my supplier already. Next step is I want to test out my goods with the market. So I thought so trying out Bazaars.

How do I go about registering the bazaars? What are the stardard procedures? i.e Deposit? Payment? Will appreciate any advise. Thank you.

where the goods coming from?
best wait for goods to arrive first before anything. sometimes they dun come at all.

Why you need to rent a shop which you dont have experience before? Try to sell online 1st

Hi,

It is good to have a goal in life and doing something that you like as a living. I think you are quite right, trying out at bazaars and flea market are rather good ways to test out your goods in the market.

You will have to register through an organizer, some organizers might require you to pay a refundable deposit, but usually the amount wouldn't be big as bazaar is only for short term rental. Payment wise you will certainly be required to pay in full before the event starts in order to secure your space.

Regards

pasa malam is bazaar right?If it is i am trying to find a way to contact them, any ideas?

Pasa malam is a bazaar but what exactly are you selling? Some things are not suitable to be sold at such places. Think carefully please.

there are different types of bazaars.. got pasar malam / flea-market type (where people sometimes bargain like crazy) and more "atas" type (depends on location / organiser). where you choose to sell, would depend on how you want to "brand"/"price" your goods. also, rent can be quite hefty, so choose wisely

hi,

I agree with EarthlyScents and pokerface, it really depends on what you are selling.

I don't know any contacts of pasar malam, but I'm sure you could get the contact from some of the pasar malam stall holders. I ever worked in a pasar malam during my school days, sometimes the organizer might just be walking or idling around the pasar malam.

Regards
