Any Advise to Newbie Like Me

jamie123

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.

aiyo..you don't frighten her leh...it's her first time although it might be true..
yes, wait for the goods to arrive first and check if everything in fine. take it step by step. there's no rush..everybody does have a dream and for me it's the same like yours..having a own shop. My first step was to sell on line which didn't work cos how many working mummies r so free to sit infront of the PC and shop? Frankly Singapore is a very convenient place to do shopping and if i have the time i would rather take the excuses to go down town & shop. Next i move to those boxes and rented 4 boxes to try my things but again it doesn't work Dunno why so "SWAY". Next i tell myself i'm going to try pushcart and work myself there....So take things easy and step by step. there's alot of hardwork...

WOW! 4 boxes. You really daring. Because renting a box is not easy. I also very suay. 1st batch of goods, i was hit by currency rate. Japanese yen went up and my goods cost price went up! OMG! Hahas. rented box also did not move out at all! Sian. Then now try all kinds of ways. Bo bian. Such things need to really have the will and motivation and courage to move on! Passion will be needed to keep burning!

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

i agree. it is usually a good training ground and online is a good place to test out consumer demand.

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.
