Flea Market Mama

Any flea market vendor who sells regularly throughout the warmer months may dread the slow-down in income that comes during the winter. This is really only applicable to the northern part of the US, although bad weather increases in winter across the country.

The best way to get your customers to buy more off-season is by giving them either a brochure with regular updates or creating an online presence.

The brochure method costs more. Why? Because you have to design and print out an actual piece of paper and mail it off to people who signed up to be on the newsletter list. Black and white printing from your computer is cheaper, and xeroxing is cheaper still, but the images may not do your products any justice.

Building an online presence for the off-season of flea market selling is an ideal solution. Every purchase made during the regular flea market day should include a website address. This can be on a business card or simply printed out in big, block letters on a sheet of paper. Sticking these in the plastic bags you hand out with your products is a great way to advertise.

Attracting women shoppers at the flea market is a matter of product, display, and personal appearance and attitude.
