3. MARKET PREPARATION
It is highly suggested stall holders take time in the weeks prior to
prepare items to be sold.
·
Laundered and ironed clothing is suggested and placed in a clothing rack
for display in size order.
·
Clothing racks can be purchase from $14.95 for places such as IKEA,
Kmart, Bunning’s, etc.
·
If you do not wish to invest in a clothing rack, you are welcome to
display items on a clothes airer or on your table but this may also impede the
flow of customers.
·
Place further items out as you go, do not overcrowd your table. Remember:
the more attractive your stall, the more you will sell!
·
Stall holders are welcome to price items however you would like to, but
remember, you are here to sell, so please price reasonably and be willing to
negotiate!
·
As a guide, most clothing items should be priced at about $2 - $10.
·
Items such as strollers, car seats, bikes, furniture and some toys would
obviously incur a higher price tag!
4. LARGE ITEMS
For Large Items, please being them disassembled and attach a photo to display the item if you would like to.
For Large Items, please being them disassembled and attach a photo to display the item if you would like to.
This is due to ease of packing down and customers removing the items
easily after the market closes.
Although this area is staffed by ‘Reuse It Baby & Kids Market’, no
responsibility is taken for loss, theft or damage to these items.
We strongly suggest to list extra items such as rain covers on
strollers, etc on your label but keep them at your stall to reduce the
possibility of theft.
5. MARKET DAY
·
The Substation doors open for stall holders @ 7:30am.
·
There will be plenty of parking close to the building.
·
There is an elevator but there may be a queue.
***Bring a
trolley***
·
The Substation main hall is on the first floor and there is a ramp up to
the main entrance. A trolley will be your best friend on the day to cut back
the amount of trips to & from your car.
·
Have some breakfast or bring it along with you – you'll need as much
energy as you can to get you through the set-up, selling, buying & pack-up.
You'll deserve a wine after the market and perhaps a nanna nap.
·
The Substation Doorways and exits are not to be obstructed in any way.
·
Any items placed outside your area will be removed so as not to congest
aisles or not comply with building Occupational Health and Safety Requirements.
