Need Help - Bazaar Rental Dispute - Page 3

I am not saying that I will ask for refund everytime my sales is bad... I know that there are risks in renting a booth.. And it is not fair to the organiser too... if people are always asking for refund

But like what I mention previously, this particular organiser failed to deliver what they have stated..

If you look at the rest of the ads under retail resources... not many people put "confirmed crowd".. most of them put expected crowd.. So when I saw that particular ad, I was naturally attracted...

hi swee18
i called her a few times n aso asked about the publicity cos was a bit concerned since april experience. she said about flyer distribution as well as thru mailing list. so at tt pt of time, can only trust wat she said n hope sales n crowd will be ok. may i noe which advert you refer to n how you get to noe about it.cos mine was thru email circulation tt i got to know about the event. on the flyer, nothing mentioned about crowd so tts why i kept asking her thru phone n tt was the reply i got. but as i replied dolly deer, i didnt ask the customer how they got to come to tis bazzar.

the organiser at safra mt faber is tricia tay, according to the safra newsletter. you way want to write/email to her about this? from what i gather, their publicity is via newsletter, but the word "bazaar" is like so.. tiny?

safra member price is $53.50 for 2 days (if i rmbr the amt correctly. anyway it's confirm $50+ for 2 days). that's why i would rather go direct than thru an agent if i were to take up safra mt faber booth.

i was informed that there would be activities to bring crowd to safra, there was this f1 thing for one month, then some water things for kids this month.. just that not my targetted market, so havent taken it up yet

those going for sculpture square flea, you may also want to take note too. the organisers that i spoke to for both the weekend! art & craft bazaar as well as the H.E.A.R.T. market told involved, but a pity that the crowds are still not drawn in much. last weekend i participated in weekend!, my sales was very slow, and i thot worse come to worse i shall pack up and leave early. but i realised most of my customers come in at 2pm to 3.30pm, a sudden influx in fact! then i asked them, they are mothers who sent their kids to NAFA nearby for art classes. perhaps the organisers can tap on this market for their flyers distribution too. other customers were bringing their kids for sculpture square activities, but these were few, most of these got to know of this event cos they are on sculpture square mailing list and have participated in previous years activities, and one said she saw the event on newspaper

On my way to sub courts now.. wish me good luck! Since the organiser do not wish to even refund partial rental... I am going to claim for full refund... byebye.. will keep everyone updated.. hopefully the court will favour me because of false claims made by them...

Will not disclose anything now for the time being coz I am not sure if I need to sign any confidentiality agreement form.. if I do not need to.. then I will put their names now for everyone to avoid them in future!

For all flea/bazaar organiser to note, DO NOT put down strong words like guaranteed or confirmed in the attempt to draw vendors to rent your booths/stalls unless you already have a confirmed guest list... otherwise be prepared to receive complaints...

HI there...

I was at mount faber last weekend. I was selling some manicure products and tea tasting... Agreed that sales was really slow on the 1st day and every vendors was just walking and chit-chatting... But sales did pick up on the 2nd day and i still managed to cover one day rental.. still have losses though.. I do agree that the crowds were mainly parents bringing kids for classes and crowds were streaming in very slowly..

What an experience i got for the 1st time!!!
