It was a nice and good experience. Though it was not as easy as you think because before the day of the flea market you got to spend time to pack your stuff and do pricing for all your item and on top of that at a flea market you're not able to sell your thing at a unreasonable price or to expensive. So let me share with you my very first experience doing a flea market.
Let's GO...
First of all I notice that not all items can be sold on a flea market, flea market is not a garage sales this two are two different thing. So first of all we must take out all the stuff that we plan to sell and then we have to sort out everything.
Secondly, we have to see which location out flea market is at and what kind of customer you will get in that location. This will help you to sort out your items faster and easier too. Like for the flea market I had last sunday is at Woodlands Housing Estate area. So what do we have to put into consideration is housing estate area we cant sell our stuff too expensive. So after sorting out what to bring to sell during the flea mart I start to do pricing I have a headache doing it because i'm thinking how much should I sell for my clothes that is all brand new with were not sold on Mini LinNe's and I have to sell lower than what I sold on Mini LinNe's. No only that those other items like female make up pouch, belts etc etc etc..
During that day although the flea start at 9am but we arrived around 8plus because we got to find the location of our table as in our store number and also to set up out store that's why is better to reach there early. One more thing is that if you're there early to set up your store those passes by people will walk stop and see what you're doing and at the same time you can promote your stall and at the same time you can tell them what you're selling. So always remember to be there early to start up your stall and get ready.
Back to the top, I believe everyone of you should know that for sure all sort of customer you will met while you're doing business that including flea market too. You will met people that will just walk pass and see but don't buy anything from you, some will touch and ask a lot of question but end up also never buy it from you. I believe you have met such customer before maybe some even worst. ( Feel free to share your experience with me on what kind of customer you met before while you're doing your business or flea market. )
Thankfully on that day for me such customer not much. Most of the customer that come to our stall they will buy it from us I still remember our very first customer of the day is one lady bought a mahjong key-chin which I'm selling only at $1.00. Haha.. But I don't mind I take it as a good start first customer of the day. xD
I also remember that there's another customer bought a few items from us and after that she came back and get more. I'm really glad to met such a nice and good customer on that day of cause not only this customer we have other customer also we have kids from other stall that came to buy thing from us.
I got to thank to those customer that stop by and bought things from our stall and those that stop by and have a look and of cause I'm going to thanks a few person that helped me out on that day. First of all thanks to Jerome, his cousin Justin and his dad for waking up early to came over my place to pick me up and bring those stuff that we wanted to sell to the location and also help to sell.
Once again Thank to all of you. (-:
Hope that I will be having my 2nd Flea Market soon.
