BUYERS PLEASE NOTE: UPS NO LONGER accepts CASH for COD deliveries! PREPAY your order by credit card or be prepared with CERTIFIED FUNDS when receiving orders COD. Larger orders save TIME and MONEY!
AVISO PARA COMPRADORES: ¡UPS YA NO acepta EFECTIVO para pagos contra entrega! PAGUE su pedido con ANTICIPACIÓN con su tarjeta de crédito o tenga listos FONDOS CERTIFICADOS cuando reciba pedidos de pago contra entrega. ¡Los pedidos más grandes ahorran TIEMPO y DINERO!
REMEMBER: Refused or unreceived shipments cost the supplier who pays the shipping charges and passes those fees on to vendors in the form of higher prices or freight fees and stricter rules of prepayment. Everyone suffers when shipments are not received as ordered.
RECUERDE: Los envíos rechazados o que no son recibidos representan un gasto para el proveedor que paga los gastos de envío y luego los transfiere a los proveedores bajo la forma de mayores precios o gastos de envío y reglas más estrictas para los pagos contra entrega. Todos pierden cuando los envíos no son recibidos en la forma pedida.

Triple-A Accessories BOLD BAUBLES, custom jewelry creations and swathing scarves define this season’s trending fashion accessories. Unique lines of quality merchandise, including exclusive Indonesian bead necklaces, clutch bags encrusted with rhinestones, and delightful cell phone decorations are available at a variety of price points in this broad product category. Archipelago brings retailers a distinctive line of fashion accessories, including jewelry, handbags, footwear, belts and headwear, all hand made in Bali or Java, Indonesia. While the company offers an array of 1,500 accessories, its focus today is on its jewelry line, much of which is custom made. “We were purchasing a lot of things that could be found around Bali,” says Scott Taylor, who, along with his wife Emmy Taylor, owns the company. “Now we’re doing things of a more custom nature that you can’t find elsewhere. Many of our products are earrings, bracelets and necklaces that only we have.” New to the company’s line this fall are earrings made of glass beads and satin string. “They are similar to something I saw that sold for around $400,” Taylor recalls. “I recreated them at an affordable
price.” The earrings are five inches long and available in two styles and four colors: white, red, black and brown. The wholesale price is $3.99 and retail price is $12.99. Another distinctive product new this fall is a multistrand, 15-inch long necklace made of gold glass beads and black resin beads. It has a brown leather strap that goes around the back of the neck, and wholesales for $4.99, and retails for $12.99. “We expect these products to be big sellers,” Taylor remarks. “We focus on providing inexpensive but high-end looking products. Both of these products are quite inexpensive, wholesaling for just a few dollars, but look like something that can be worn with an evening dress.” Archipelago is preparing to sell product displays, Taylor notes. “We’ll have fully stained, beautiful wood displays. When customers purchase our jewelry, they will have the opportunity to purchase stunning displays for earrings, bracelets and rings.” The company also will begin offering a starter package, which will contain both jewelry and displays. The company’s website, baliwholesale.net, displays detailed product images continued on page 12 www.FleaMarketZone.com

Secret Light is in the process of developing a retail franchise and currently has retail stores in malls throughout South Florida. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We opened our first international store in Peru and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be opening more locations in that country as well as in Mexico and Costa Rica. We are very excited and proud about this,â&#x20AC;? states Tovar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically we like to have a set minimum order for retailers, however our main goal is to get our products out there, so we negotiate on a case by case basis,â&#x20AC;? she remarks. Some items come with point of purchase displays, which are included in the purchase price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women of all styles will find something they love among the products we sell. We believe all women want to look beautiful, and we want to help women achieve that goal.â&#x20AC;? From hip and modern to traditionally elegant, accessory options abound this year. And with the assortment of custom made and affordable jewelry, bags, scarves and decorations available, vendors can choose just the right merchandise for their markets. â&#x2013; continued on page 26 www.FleaMarketZone.com

INDUSTRY NEWS
Philadelphia Vendor Shares Insights AS FLEA market vendors can attest, the profession offers rewards and challenges, so the more educational resources available, the better. Mario S., a 10-year flea market veteran, recently started a blog to help flea market enthusiasts learn what they need to know about markets in the northeastern U.S. Philadelphia Flea Market News posts reviews on markets such as First Fridays Vintage & Antique Market, Uhuru Flea Market at Clark Park, New Castle Farmer’s Market and many more, as well as other information. The idea for Mario’s blog came from numerous phone calls and emails he received from vendors who live outside of the Philadelphia area. “Vendors would ask me what was going on with different flea markets and whether they should sell there. I was like the flea market information guy,” Mario recalls. “I wondered why but I guess it’s because I’m observant, and I retain and ponder things. It turned out that I knew more about flea markets than some guys who’d been vendors for a lot longer than me. I like to write and share information, so I bought a book on how to set up a blog and six days later it was up and running. I get some nice feedback from people telling me my blog really helped them.” Mario himself sells both 28
November 2012
new and used items at about 20 markets. “I’d like to reach a point where I’m selling 50 percent new and 50 percent used merchandise,” he explains, because popular sellers can be
restocked and used merchandise can bring in higher profits. “The things I’m looking into selling at the markets are quality jewelry, sterling silver rings, which tend to sell well. I bought some body jewelry on liquidation.com and in the city it sells very well,” Mario points out. “I think every other person has some sort of piercing. I was thinking of getting more into that. I’ve done pretty well with the body jewelry in the suburban markets as well. I’ve also been looking into selling clothing.” Designer boots and shoes are very popular, he adds. “I know vendors who buy used UGG boots or Coach boots and shoes, and they sell like hotcakes. Designer and designerlike clothing, people just eat that up.” Mario attributes his successful flea market business, as well as his ability to blog, to
being cognizant of what’s going on at the markets. “I know of one flea market that has mostly new merchandise and my used stuff wasn’t selling. There was a guy there selling little rubber balls that you throw against a wall and he was making a killing. I made a mental note of that.” Contrary to some vendors’, Mario doesn’t blame the economy when sales are down. “I hear from other vendors that business is slower and it’s because of the economy, but I don’t believe that. You’d think that if the economy is bad, that should help the markets. If I have decent quality merchandise and I keep my merchandise fresh, then I tend to make more money. It’s just keeping up with your merchandise.” Read the entire interview with Mario S. on the state of the flea market industry and trends he has been observing in the October edition of First Look, the PROVENDOR newsletter.

INDUSTRY NEWS
New GENCO Website GENCO MARKETPLACE, one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest merchandise liquidators, has launched a newly designed website, www. gencomarketplace.com, to bring speed and convenience to flea market vendors, enabling them to spend less time sourcing liquidation inventory and more time selling, GENCO announced. Features of the new site include a revised shopping cart for quicker, more streamlined purchasing; improved navigation, which enables vendors to search by product, price or shipping location; drop down menus to detailed product information, including product manifests; and an order history page for tracking past activity, including auctions won and lost. The new site also includes testimonials and case studies from existing buyers, as well as a Buyer Resource Center where buyers of secondary market inventory can find articles on smart sourcing strategies. GENCO Marketplace sells products that can no longer be sold at retail, such as store returns, closeouts and excess inventory, at prices that are well below wholesale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the liquidation inventory available in the market is not factory new, so buyers are concerned with product quality,â&#x20AC;?

Three of our seven buildings are open and a section of the connecting building is open. The building that was completely burned out is now up and in place.

Editor: How important is your website to your vendors? Dove: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the process of updating our website. We want a dynamic website and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re striving to get it to where we can put up new information all the time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken longer than we would like, but the fire interrupted many of the things we want to do. Our plan is to go to online reservations for
vendors so they can pick a spot electronically. The rebuild of this market is well over $3 million and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very large undertaking, so I had to set aside other things.â&#x20AC;? Editor: As a long-time flea market professional, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get your input on the legalities of the business. Where do vendors start? Dove: â&#x20AC;&#x153;When vendors contact us, the first thing we do is refer them to our Rules and Rates sheet in which we say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their obligation to stay in compliance with all state, county and federal laws.

speak with them. A lot of our vendors coming in are first time entrepreneurs and we want to help them in that process. Anything that is different than general merchandise is listed in our Rules and Rates. Vendors can find information on anything from selling gas powered vehicles, because that also requires special licensing, to selling cottage food items. For example, items such as food would be listed under the Ohio Department of Agriculture.â&#x20AC;? Editor: Do you help vendors find wholesalers?
Burton: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes we do. When we are completely up and running we have wholesaler magazines we subscribe to in the office.

MARK EHRMANN makes the kind of earrings that shoppers can literally get wrapped up in, handcrafted from sterling silver and 24-karat gold. His innovative, yet organic jewelry is based around a wrap design that clings to the earâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curves, rather than go through it. With pieces that are wearable for ears that are both pieced and not, Mark Ehrmann Jewelry Designs provides earrings for every
type of wearer. The handmade Wrap and Vine collections, in particular, can be layered for a look that is truly one of a kind. Today, with so many products made at a rapid pace, Mark Ehrmann Jewelry Designs celebrates the beauty that can be found only in handmade arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I created The Wrap earrings for continued on page 42

women without pierced ears, inspired by my wife, my girls and nature,” says Mark Ehrmann, artist and owner. “The Wrap earring fits comfortably over or above the bump on the inside of the ear, and is adjustable for a secure fit. For those with pierced ears, The Wrap combines beautifully with our Vine earrings, or any earrings of your choice.” Ehrmann has been in business since 1984, and has honed his
craft since the 1970s when he learned to make hand wrought metalwork in New Hampshire. Now, with his Wraps and Vines, his two styles give the appearance of having gold or silver wires weave around the wearer’s earlobe, making a statement of clean simplicity. In order to make his jewelry by hand, Ehrman has mastered a number of metalworking disciplines, including the lostwax process, hand fabrication and soldering, and stone setting. continued on page 46

“Depending on the order, we take seventeen steps to complete your earrings,” he explains. “In the industry, you have to figure out how to make jewelry in such a way that your designs aren’t knocked off. Because I have multiple disciplines involved in making each piece, others can’t make my jewelry. That’s allowed me to stay competitive in the jewelry
world.” It also virtually eliminates the competition for vendors who sell his work. Earrings sell wholesale for between $12 and $30 per pair with no minimum order, and can be sold for double to triple that amount. While there are no volume discounts or display cases, Ehrmann has a unique bonus program set up. If a customer pays upfront, they receive an extra 10 percent of jewelry in addition to their order.

to ice away pain, as well. Hot Socks release a lavender fragrance during use, and contain buckwheat beads that maintain heat for more than an hour after they have been warmed. After heating them up in the microwave, the socks slip onto the wearer’s feet, “so all they really have to do is sit back and enjoy the warmth,” Dawe explains. During the marathon runners’ season, which reaches a peak in October and lasts through the fall, Hot Socks are a great seller for athletes in need of relief, following a hard day of training. As an on the go nation that isn’t about to slow down anytime
soon, the number of customers asking for Hot Socks can only be expected grow through the fall and winter months. From the ailing to the athlete, Hot Socks have widespread appeal and vendors that tap into this trending product, especially during this time of year, will have the gratitude of every customer whose feet they relieve. ■ For more information: American Distribution Company 3140 Lees Lane Mobile, AL 36693 Tel.: 251-661-0378 Email: mcdonald.adc@gmail.com Website: www.american distributioncompany.net

COMPANY PROFILE
Deals Abound at Kelli’s KELLI’S GIFT Shop Suppliers started to serve hospital gift shops after owners Mike and Lori Cohen sold their own chain of 150 gift shops. The couple had operated the nation’s largest chain of hospital gift shops, but decided that they knew so much about the gift shop business that they would be successful in the wholesale distribution business, working to support small shops. Shortly after the company launched, Kelli’s broadened its customer base from hospital gift shops to include casinos, college bookstores, baby boutiques and flea market vendors. The vast majority of Kelli’s products can be purchased at a much smaller quantity pack size than with competitors, and with a minimum of only $100 the company makes it easy for vendors to get started. Customers can purchase one or two of an item, so there is a decreased risk of buying too much of something. “We also are able to function as a warehouse for smaller vendors who may not have a large retail space,” web manager, Jan Hirsch says. “They can rely on us because our in stock rate is very high, and we can ship anything so that it arrives in three days.” The firm sells more than 3,000 items in categories ranging from fragrances to plush. Animated plush is one of our best selling categories, though Hirsch has noticed an uptick in accessory sales as of late. Many of the company’s 62

accessories, the company’s chenille tweed scarf is new, and has already begun to do well. The cuddly scarf sells for a wholesale price of $7.50 and retails for $15. Additionally, Furry slap watches are fresh additions to Kelli’s inventory, as well as dozens of additions to the jewelry line.
As an example of its customer service approach, Kelli’s had a customer who ordered several flavors of Russell Stover chocolates last spring. There was a mishap at the customer’s business, which resulted in the
product needing replacement. What was Kelli’s Gift Shop Suppliers’ response? It sent out fresh product to the company, without any questions asked. “We always go above and beyond for our customers, such that they become loyal to us for many years to come,” Hirsch points out. “The quick turnaround, the variety of products, and the excellent customer service has made us stand out as suppliers.” The company website features a page of sale items offered at deep discounts, a rotating weekly item on special, and this month, there is a fall and seasonal catalog special running for online customers. If a customer spends $395, they qualify for free freight, and shoppers who try at least 18 different items from the company’s fall catalogue receive 10 percent off of their entire first order, valid through October 31. The company has also been known to throw in point of purchase display racks when customers order a large amount of one item. ■ For more information: Kelli’s Gift Shop Suppliers 3311 Boyington Drive Suite 400 Carrolton, TX 75006 Tel.: 888-609-8860 Fax: 888-609-8861 Email: sales@kellisgifts.com Website: www.kellisgifts.com

Inside Quick Response (QR) Codes QUICK RESPONSE (QR) codes originated in Japan under Denso Corporation, a Toyota Motor Corporation subsidiary, and were intended to hasten the code reading process, while at the same time allowing for more data to be captured in a single scan. Their efficiency was harnessed to help track vehicle parts during the manufacturing process, but has now spread across every industry as a savvy square for sharp consumers. The black and white codes have become such a popular feature in advertisements, in particular, that they can be spotted on nearly any flat surface, from magazine ads to company cars. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the big deal? What do consumers miss by not taking less than one second to scan a QR code on an advertisement from a favorite store, restaurant or service provider? In order to be interpreted by a smartphone or tablet, a third party barcode scanner is needed to decode the information, such as Google Goggles, App World, QR Droid and the popular Scan. Certain readers are capable of generating codes, as well, such as Qrafter. Since most QR code reader apps are available at no cost, the squares seen everywhere are easily accessible to everyone.

MARKETING scan a code on an advertisement to get a special deal, or scan a code on a restaurant menu to get nutritional information. Consumers can lean on QR codes to slide them discounts under the radar and make tasks like punching a loyalty card more efficient. Whether it’s checking in to the Krispy Kreme rewards app or scanning an event into your smartphone calendar, QR codes buy you back those minutes otherwise spent in longer processes. A few technology researchers question whether or not the codes are already becoming outdated, proving to be too much of an inconvenience for customers

on the fence about engaging with the code’s source. This is attributed to connectivity being low in the sense that data plans weren’t as widespread in the past, rendering QR codes useless when smart devices couldn’t launch the code’s associated website. However, interest in using apps is now greater than ever, and as that interest continues to grow, so does the efficiency of codes and readers. Marketers are predicted to continue using these codes moving forward, but with a more cohesive set of goals and messages. With simpler readers for customers

Flea Market News Briefs Flea Market Flip at Elephant’s Trunk
Norton Shows Anniversary Deals
Maxwell Celebrates 100 Years
The Elephant’s Trunk Flea Market in New Milford, CT, provided the perfect autumnal setting Sunday, October 21, for a visit from HGTV’s Flea Market Flip, with mild temperatures, bright blue skies and glorious reds, oranges and yellows in the background. More than 350 vendors and 2,500 shoppers were on hand. Each team of two Flea Market Flip shoppers was given $500 to search for unique decorative objects they would take home and repurpose. The contestants will “flip” their merchandise, hopefully for a profit, as they compete for the $5,000 prize. ■
Nominated as one of the, “Best of Gatlinburg,” the quarterly Norton Show’s apparel, jewelry and gift market celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Its fourth-quarter cash and carry expo takes place from Saturday through Monday, November 17 through 19 at the Gatlinburg Convention Center in Gatlinburg, TN. Weekend hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Monday hours are 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. The show is open exclusively to members of the trade carrying an industry license, and will feature between 500 and 800 booths. ■
In honor of its 100th year, the Maxwell Street Market in Chicago, IL, held a celebration on Sunday, October 21, that included DJ Perfect Sound, local blues man Fernando Jones and his trio, a performance by Linda’s Dance Studio and a performance by local band Low-reen’s Maxwell Street Blues Jam. The market was incorporated in 1912, and before that, it was a Jewish settlement with many family owned businesses in the area. In the coming year, Ndidika Vernon, market manager says he wants to expand the market. ■
Tanque Verde Swap Meet
Rolling Stones at Flea Market
Airport Flea Reopens
Tanque Verde Swap Meet has added Super Sunday events to its schedule, beginning October 21. The first Sunday event featured performances by Danza Azteca Callpulli Tonantzin, an authentic Aztec entertainment experience, a dance performance by Ballet Folklorico Tapatio, and an array of other musical entertainment spread across Tanque Verde Swap Meet’s 30 acres. Nineteen of the acres are dedicated to vending and the remaining acreage is for parking. The market boasts more than 800 vendors selling produce, vintage, antiques, new products and clothing, with a merry-goround and rides to entertain the whole family. ■
Lauren White recently discovered 23 photographs of the Rolling Stones band at a flea market in Saugus, CA. As a local musician who frequents the Fairfax Flea Market, the Topanga Vintage Market, and the Pasadena City College Flea Market, White noted, “You really never know what you can find in the middle of nowhere.” The King Bees were photographed while on a road trip through Georgia and Florida in 1965. A more carefree side of the boys is seen, with a few photographs showing the band around a swimming pool. ■
On Saturday, October 6, the Airport Flea Market and Farmers Market held its grand reopening under the new ownership of Nick and Vince DelCorso and their friend, Andy Orfitelli. The combination flea and farmers market, in line with the current trend of blending types of shopping experiences, is enticing more foot traffic by offering shoppers everything from arts and crafts to zucchini. Vietnam veteran John Riley Watkins, 72, told Hernando Today that he was glad for the opportunity to get out of the house and meet people. ■

HOW TO
How to Strengthen Your Pitch and Profits THERE ARE a few common adages when it comes to negotiations; some say the first person to make the offer always loses, others say the winner is the person more willing to walk away from the deal. Ideally, flea market vendors should strive to create a mutually beneficial “win-win” situation, in which the customer goes home happy and the vendor makes a comfortable profit on the sale. Before getting caught in a nickel and dime dispute, take these four sales tips to heart and transform your customer relationships in six minutes, no gimmicks required. 1) Stay in the ideal mindset by approaching every conversation as though it’s
already a negotiation. This will help you be better prepared for any questions or objections a customer has, because you’ve already laid the framework of your sales pitch from the very first word. If you start strong, you’ll stay strong. 2) Make shoppers fall in love. As many vendors know, flea markets are superb spots for demonstration products. Being able to show, rather than tell, can work to your advantage from a selling standpoint. Merchandise should all be fair game for a test drive, if possible, and once a customer has experienced your product, their attachment to it grows. Free samples work in continued on page 82
