Also regarding washing dishes one thing I saw a vendor do that I thought was a great idea was to pair together teacups and saucers but then to finish it off with a ribbon. It just made it look so cohesive and like you were getting a brand new item even though they were vintage. And I saw other vendors pairing items together and then tying it off with a ribbon and again just thought that was a great idea.

Great tips. You are so right about the sweet spot. I’ve also found sometimes if you price something too low it won’t sell. People psychologically think the item is no good, so if I raise the price it moves. Fun crazy business!
@KMF3Ай бұрын
I went to an antique mall yesterday and one of the things that I definitely saw as a problem for a lot of vendors is putting small items on the very bottom. For a lot of people like myself trying to reach those small items on the bottom is very difficult. I think it would be much better to put the larger items on the bottom and the smaller items on the top.

Thank you for your tips, today! I find pricing the hardest part. I sold decoupaged Mason Jars, hand painted, sealed, distressed. I realized I sold them too cheaply for the amount of time/effort they took as they flew off the shelves! It was great, but obviously too inexpensive for all the work put in. Appreciate your suggestions & what you’ve learned
@charlotted62473 жыл бұрын
Totally agree. When I go to our local shop, some booths are kind of trashed. They are unkempt and I walk on by. I shop the ones that are neat and orderly. I try and remember if I end up going on Saturday afternoon that it's been busy and maybe a lot has been sold. You can tell the booths that are well attended. One of my biggest gripes is when items aren't priced. They can't sell what's not priced. Your booths are beautifully done!!! Too bad I am so so far away!!

It looks like you have a chalkboard wall behind the booth you have -I can't believe you are not using it to make your booth pop. If it is a chalkboard wall maybe find an artist that can colorfully write your business name on it and find some kind of promotional words to help set your booth apart from others. I would utilize that board.(also I would use chalk instead of the chalk markers -the markers don't seem to come off as well)

Yes! I just got a 1940s Drexel Mahogany China Cabinet for $15!! If it was just wiped down and pledge it probably would have moved sooner because the shelves looked faded but it was just dust!

I also rent a booth here in New England I’m vintage and antique only and I like having the lowest prices on my items. I don’t think about making the other dealers mad because of it heck most of my customers are dealers! I price my items with a little meat on the bone since I buy items so reasonably. I want people to remember me and return to buy more. I’m running a business not a museum. There’s an old saying that goes something like this… if you want it to sell you want to have the best one, the cheapest one or the only one.

My booth is wet deep & 4 ft wide. So all I can do are smells. I have no choice. I have a very tall curio cabinet & I can go up and layer in height, I also have a really fun wire shelving until that’s antique that gives me a ton of space for all my smells. I can fit over 120 - 150 items. I would love to have a larger space because I have tons of furniture, chairs, mirrors, lamps, etc. unfortunately I’m not allowed to add lighting. So any options for a small booth would be great.

Sonnet, I've loving what you do and how you do it! Your booths are beautiful. This is my first time here, and I can tell that YOU are gifted in many ways. I have wasted so much time trying to get instructions and advice on opening a vendor booth. First of all, there are few options that are located anywhere near me. Lots of junk at flea markets, and I just don't like the atmosphere. There is one marketplace with nice indoor vendor space at a location that is open every day, but that requires more time than I have and is not close to where I live. Then there are periodic festivals that charge a fortune for a booth. It's also been difficult to find out what the legal requirements are for vendors. What sort of licenses or other documents are required? What about taxes? When I found YOUR video, I thought, "THIS woman needs to publish a manual!" You have such a good way of giving advice on how to set up a booth, and I'm sure you would also be great at the other instructions I'm having a difficult time finding. Everything I "click" on leads me to someone who is either advertising or is giving instructions for a different state than mine. Do you have any interest in putting together an E-book? If you do and need help editing, I'd love to join you. Regardless, I'm sure you could help potential vendors on a wide range of subjects. Thanks so much for your good advice!
