DarleneZ

Don't bother to try Orchard Central. The organiser (Events Moment/Max Diva) is the worst that I have encoutered for the past 5 years. He did not tell the vendors that Orchard Central has so many rules and regulations before the bazaar started.

There is also no written agreement between the organiser and the vendor. In the middle of the bazaar, he tell the vendors new rules, like cannot have hand written signboard. Then he tell us to move to another location in the middle of the week. Then he tells us that our clothes are not so suitable and so we have to move. Then he tells us that even laminated signboard are not allowed to be placed ( at first it was hand written). Then he tells us that all the apparels vendors are not allowed to sell anymore apparels and ask us to leave immediately.......etc....

Also, no effort was done to bring the crowds into the shopping mall. Orchard Central is generally a quiet mall. The organiser did not even bother to put any poster or banner outside the mall to indicate to the public that there is an event inside the mall. I am utterly disappointed !

Orchard Central is a dead town. For your info, the management is Far East Organisation (FEO). Most FEO mall really cannot make it. Guess they are not that good in Shopping Mall. Look at Square 2, Central, Far East Plaza, etc.....they are all dead.

Hope you learn your lesson and skip Orchard Central in future.

Hi,

I had tried the Bazzaar at Orchard Central before... Personally i will think that if you are talking about a few hundreds bucks, that should not be a problem, but overall it still got to narrow down on what is the products you selling as well.

Beside what i think the rental is at a reasonable rate, and i find that the organiser is very friendly and helpful and always available at the event area. And if you are saying the place is a no good, but most of the time when i want to rent the booth, it got book out real fast.

I totally don't agree with what you had said "URBANBOY".. Maybe is your products that is not good enough for the place i guess, and you said you been doing bazaar for 5 years.. Guess seriously, you need to touch up on your VM, especially when you are selling in Shopping Malls in Orchard.

And i have fellows friends whom is doing bazzaar is sharing the same thinking as i do.

Hi Darlenz, 1st I need to know what are you selling.. For me,I just finished my one week bazzar at Orchard Central for the 1st time.. I do heard rumours that Orchard Central is a very quiet place with no crowds at all but I still go ahead and try..
I met a lot of new customers who had purchased my handmade items and the sales are quite ok for me..
To my surprise there is crowds on weekdays and more crowds at weekends.. The crowd normally come from 313 Somerset and Centrepoint Underground Tunnel.. Weekdays is more for lunch and dinner crowds but for weekends is more for family crowds..
And the organiser of Orchard Central are super friendly.. He will greet you with a smile when he see you and sometimes he will ask you how is your sales today? The bazzars area are very comfortable with air con and great music.. Each booth are catered to your store name and it is very super kawaii.. To me it look like a cute house The rental are reasonable and it is not a rain or shine event.. I will encourage you to go and give it a try..
