 Re: Fleamarkets vs. Retailers
greetings to all,
your list sounds pretty good.
i would add:
business cards/flyers-when someone buys something, i make sure to put my flyer in their bag. also leave some on the table for other potential buyers can pick one up in passing. they may not like your stuff, but they probably know someone that does and they can pass the information on.
inexpensive way to make flyers using word or publisher....break the page into 4 quadrants, cut and paste your info in each quadrant. print using black ink on color paper and cut. 100 sheets will get you 400 flyers.
tie-downs/clothes pins- need these in case the wind is blowing. we had to use some water bottles because we were not prepared for this. not sure how you plan on displaying the shirts, but there is a good posting here, just search for displays. myself along with others have pictures posted. another forum member created a rack system using 2x4's hung by chain from the tent. very simple and awesome.
10x10 tent- you should get a pop-up tent. very helpful, will protect your items in case of inclement weather. be sure to ask the event coordinator how much space is allotted. all the events i have worked so far has been 10x10.
bags- box of bags to put merchandise in for customer.
cords & light- depending on the time of the fest, you may need lights. also ask the coordinator if electricity is provided. if not, take your supplies anyway, someone else will have a power source and they might be willing to let you run your light source.
help- most important, you will need help. i thought i was superwoman and boy
was i wrong.
hope this helps.
one love!
