Brighten up your booth. A few easy additions that can freshen the look of your space include artwork, fresh flowers, new signage and colorful wall or tent hangings. Make your area appear as vibrant as possible to entice customers to come in for a closer look. Move products around. If you always adhere to a specific arrangement for your merchandise, shuffle your display instead of putting products out in the usual fashion. Online, visit Pinterest and search for visual merchandising ideas. There is a wealth of inspiration at your fingertips. Create vignettes within your booth. Display similar items in new ways that tell a story and create an environment that invites customers. If you have housewares, for example, create a table setting or arrange merchandise to resemble an organized closet or pantry cabinet. Place a few items on sale and
display them at the back of your booth. This location is key, because it ensures that shoppers see your new merchandise first as they make their way back to your sale section. Browsers may pick up a few new products on the way. Be sure to hang banners or signs detailing any promotions you offer.
Products Sell sports equipment. Products related to baseball, golf, lacrosse, rowing, softball and tennis are all fair game for your booth. Equipment for other sports, such as basketball and football, can also yield a profit. Remember, customers are thinking about being outdoors at this time of year so offer products that will remind them of the transition to outdoors. Tap the gardening market. Tools, gloves, seeds, plants and pots appeal to a wide variety of demographics. They are often conducive to demonstrations, so, if possible, set up a small area with gardening goods where patrons can dig in. Consider decorating your booth with plants and flowers as well. Capitalize on spring cleaning. Consider adding organizational items, such as storage bins, baskets or other products that help tidy a space. Update your signage to remind people that once spring arrives, it’s time to put things in order and, most importantly, lead by example. Sell swimming pool accessories.
Make your area appear as vibrant as possible to entice customers to come in for a closer look.

From inflatable toys to patio decorations, there are many product options. This type of merchandise can be uncommon at some markets, helping it to stand out at your booth. Bring out warm weather apparel. Offer sales on autumn and winter items for those who make it a habit to stock up on essentials during the off season. Put up a sign that advertises your sale prices. This will help move any merchandise you are looking to liquidate by inviting customers to hunt for a bargain. Honor the holidays. Décor and novelties themed for St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Earth Day, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and high school prom season will be magnetic to a broad spectrum of flea market shoppers.
Put up a sign that advertises your sale prices. This will help move any merchandise you are looking to liquidate. Remember road trip season. Now is the time when motorcycles get back on the road, cars and lawn mowers get tune-ups and many people are thinking about the tools and equipment they will need to complete warm weather tasks. If it works with your booth theme, add this type of merchandise to your inventory to boost sales.

You may also wish to stock something special for Mother’s Day or offer moms a discount at your booth. Be ready for pop-up markets. These can be quite common once temperatures rise. Keep an eye on area newspapers and Chambers of Commerce to find out if there are any limited time flea markets planned in your vicinity. The greater the buzz surrounding the
market, the more likely you are to see a high volume of foot traffic at your booth.

New Patented Sunglass Lens Makes its Debut at ASD Much more than a new-take on polarization, these sunglasses will be a sure hot-seller hit this year Polarview is a new lens technology, not a brand of sunglasses. These lenses are made to fit many different brands of sunglasses. POLARVIEW lenses add superior glare-blocking efficiency to sunglasses. These highly developed lenses afford the wearer the most advanced glare blocking lens technology available in the sunglass industry-without the problems Polarized lenses pose to digital screens. From our research: FOR THIS REASON, SUNGLASSES WITH POLARVIEW LENSES SELL SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN POLARIZED AND REGULAR SUNGLASSES. Polarview lenses are the most innovative lenses science has to offer and have all the same advantages that Polarized lenses have: 1) Polarview lenses block UVA & UVB light and reflective glare. 2) Polarview lenses allow the wearer to view deeper through the depths of the water. 3) Polarview lenses are made of Polycarbonate, are highly scratch resistant and exceed government safety standards for impact. 4) Polarview lenses are lighter than regular sunglass lenses. 5) Polarview lenses have less distortion than regular sunglass lenses. 6) Best of all, POLARVIEW lenses have a significant advantage over Polarized lenses. They DO NOT block digital instrumentation, allowing wearers to see their smart phone, tablet, GPS, and other digital displays. 32
March 2013
MORE INFO AT: Sunglassmanufacturing.com See more at Booth # A2520 at the ASD Show (Polarized lenses block digital instrumentation, and with the predominance of smart phones, iPads, tablets and digital GPS screens, this is problematic for Polarized lens wearers. Wearers of Polarized sunglasses can’t see their smart phone display and other digital devices. The FAA has banned Polarized lenses from being worn by pilots, during flight.) The FAA actually does not allow pilots to wear Polarized lenses for that reason. Polarview lenses are approved for pilots and are significantly advanced in comparison. This is the advantage your customers are looking for. Polarview lenses sell Significantly better. POLARVIEW lenses out perform other lenses on the water as well, allowing the professional mariner to see through the surface glare, down into the depths of the ocean. POLARVIEW special anti-glare filters allow the color variation of deeper water to shine through, allowing the professional mariner to see sand bars, rock bottom’s, fish and even fish colors through the brightest reflective conditions.

CAJOLE ONLINE, a family owned and operated business in La Quinta, CA, has been selling trendy gifts and souvenirs since 2009. The company recently introduced a line of stylus writing tools for electronic devices, including the On-the-Go series. Available in both a mini and an extendable version, the tool connects to an electronic device’s standard headphone jack and conveniently remains with the device at all times, explains Jason Barlow, company partner. The extendable stylus starts out at 2.5
inches and extends to five inches. “That’s very popular because you’re able to use it like a pen or pencil with a tablet,� he notes. The extendable stylus retails for $12 to $15 and comes in six colors, and the mini stylus, which retails for $8 to $10, is available in eight colors. Another product that consistently produces strong sales for Cajole Online’s customers is the Magic-Mat, “because it’s a great gift for almost anyone,� Barlow shares.

PRODUCT TRENDS
Protect Toothbrushes from Germs FLUSHING A toilet sends bacteria eight feet into the air before it begins to settle on nearby surfaces, according to research by Charles Gerba, a professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona in Tucson. When Cindy Martin, co-owner of Cynita, Inc., learned of this, her mind raced to the toothbrushes that lay exposed on her bathroom countertop. Con su mer s are demonstrating an increasing interest in health and disease prevention, and Martin fell in line with the trend. Experienced with custom products, she worked with a designer to develop a lightweight, economical solution to the germy issue, and the Cover Me toothbrush protector is the result. Cover Me is a tall dome that fits over most standard size toothbrush holders, and protects brushes from sink splashes, hairspray, room deodor i zer and restroom germs. Each cover features a curved bottom to allow for enough airflow to prevent mold from forming 42
March 2013
when toothbrushes are damp and to help quicken drying time. The product, packaged in a clear box for easy shelf display, is made from clear plastic, so as not to hide customers’ existing toothbrush holder, but Martin and her business partner, A nita Greger, already have plans to introduce translucent colored versions. The Cynita team hopes to offer customization options, such as printing corporate logos on the product so that it may be marketed to dental and orthodontist offices. “In my home, we
use the Cover Me toothbrush protector to shield our own toothbrushes,” Martin says. “If you wait for a two week time span, it’s shocking to see how much residue has accumulated on top of the cover. That layer of filth would have ended up on my family’s toothbrushes, were it not for this product.” “Promotional products and ones that can be customized sell well at small and medium sized establishments, which can include any type of vendor or retailer,” Martin points out. “The bottom line is that consumers want products that are affordable, uncomplicated and helpful in providing easy solutions to everyday problems.” With this in mind, Cynita, Inc. has established a 50 piece minimum order. Toothbrush protectors wholesale for $2.49 apiece and retail for $5.99. ■

on a car dashboard or anywhere consumers need to secure items such as a GPS, cell phone, iPad, sunglasses, toll pass and more. A polyurethane gel product, it works without magnets or adhesives, and doesn’t leave residue behind. “The price point is good at around $10, so it’s a great impulse item at the register,” Barlow points out. Another hot seller is the Artic Chill Towel, a cooling/sport towel that users simply wet, wring out and shake to unleash its cooling properties. Washable and reusable, the product is available in blue, yellow, pink and sea foam green. The towels retail for $20 each, and three point of purchase displays with full color toppers are available. Cajole Online’s newest of the three displays holds 48 pieces, takes up minimal square footage in a store, and ships in one unit for easy set up. The firm also recently introduced new package sizes for its Phat Head Gang string dolls, a line of over 100 quirky characters, each with a name, personality trait and positive saying. Cajole Online’s products provide retailers good profit margins, often triple wholesale pricing, and also give end customers good value, Barlow stresses. For wholesale prices, contact the company directly, and visit Cajole Online at booth #SL1141 at the ASD Show in Las Vegas, being held March 17-20, to learn about its show specials. ■ For more information: Cajole Online 51813 Avenida Vallejo La Quinta, CA 92253 Tel.: 760-666-1867 Fax: 760-653-4948 Email: Online form Website: wholesale.cajoleonline.com www.FleaMarketZone.com

INDUSTRY NEWS
A Message from the CEO Dear valued reader, This year marks our 25th anniversary serving the wholesale and retail merchandise industry, and I want to thank you for choosing us to help you grow your business. It is an honor to bring you the news, business insights and, most importantly, new product information you need to succeed. Throughout the years, our motto has been to under promise and over deliver, and we’re dedicated to connecting reputable wholesalers with the most active buying audience across all venues. It is through this unwavering commitment to your success that we’ve grown, like many independents, from a family run start-up to a staff of more than 25 professionals. Each year, we print millions of copies of both monthly and annual publications, as well as manage several industry websites. It’s been an exciting journey that began in 1987 when my father, Gene Sumner, and I bought the East Coast Merchandiser magazine, a regional monthly journal serving the flea market industry. We soon launched Western and Midwest Merchandiser magazines in order to cover the flea market and swap meet industry from coast to coast. Within two years, we introduced Independent Retailer (formerly Cover) magazine and in 1990 my brother, Woody Sumner, came on board as publisher of that periodical. We then launched Wholesale Central and Closeout Central, which are now the leading online resources for wholesale merchandise, and, in 1996, Ron Fisher joined our team as publisher of Web Wholesaler 50
March 2013
magazine, the publication for online wholesale buyers. Along with the Merchandiser Group magazines, which reach over 100,000 vendors of new merchandise each year, we created and manage FleaMarketZone.com, where vendors find daily news and product information. To further support small business operators, we started the PROVENDOR Association, the only body dedicated to empowering flea marketers. This free resource offers exclusive deals and discounts, analytics and
a quarterly newsletter filled with actionable intelligence. Another milestone of which I’m extremely proud is the launch this year of GoliathFalls. com, a directory that showcases and bolsters America’s locally owned independent businesses. GoliathFalls.com is a website where merchants can list themselves for free and combine forces to gain national marketing power.

categories, and they also share reviews, which is the number one way millennials make their buying decisions today. All of SCI’s incredible website growth is due to the dedication and vision of CTO Lisa Rioni, who has been with us from virtually the very beginning. In addition to supporting small businesses, we are committed to employing practices that protect our environment. Last year, we were honored to receive a GreenCircle Award from the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The Merchandiser Group magazines are printed on 100 percent recycled newsprint and we printed over 1,000,000 copies using recycled paper versus new, virginwood newsprint in 2011. In the years ahead, Sumner Communications will continue to strive for your excellence as well as our own. Small businesses are the backbone of both local communities and our national economy, and we are firmly focused on providing the strategic news and product information you need to enjoy a promising future. Sincerely, Scott Sumner, CEO Sumner Communications Inc.

Toilet Tattoos are made from electrostatic vinyl film and require no adhesive. “They are a hygienic alternative to the rugs typically used to decorate toilets,” says Massullo. “They can be cleaned with a disinfectant spray and don’t harbor as many germs as rug material does.” Toilet Tattoos are reusable and don’t leave residue on the lid. To apply a decal, the consumer peels the appliqué from its backing, places it on the toilet lid and continued on page 54

lettering, Downey notes. State Line’s other muslin bags are offered in eight sizes, from 2.5 inches by 4 inches up to 12 by 16 inches. “It’s all about options with us,” Downey says. Possibilities go beyond bag design to include selling opportunities, and, although the premium bag sells well as a standalone product, it also works as a keepsake bag to accompany jewelry or gifts. The company will fill order quantities of as few as 50 items, which is a new, lower minimum the company adopted when it launched the premium bag line. Price breaks are based on quantity, starting with 500 pieces. Bags can be delivered in a matter of days, and two day shipping is available. State Line Bag also offers
free shipping within the continental U.S. for wholesale orders of $70 or more. ■ For more information: State Line Bag Company 4745 West 136th St. Leawood, KS 66224 Toll Free: 877-377-8071 Tel.: 913-402-6010 Email: Online form Website: www.statelinebag.com

Anderson Jockey Lot & Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market DOYLE â&#x20AC;&#x153;DCâ&#x20AC;? Bryson and William Richard McClellion, Jr., launched Anderson Jockey Lot & Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market in 1974 after they visited a flea market in Mexico and decided that Belton, SC, was the ideal site for a new venue with plenty of parking. The market grew over the years, and is now one of the Southâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest markets, says William Richard McClellion, III, who took over the market after his father passed away in June, 2012. Bryson died in April of 2012. Every weekend, more than 1,500 professional, hobby and yard sale dealers offer shoppers everything imaginable. This includes fresh produce, technology and automotive components, books, video, music, tools and hardware, arts and crafts, pets and small farm animals, yard sale items and much more. The market has a pet pavilion and a dog row. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also sell peanuts and popcorn, and have restaurants,â&#x20AC;? adds McClellion. Anderson Jockey Lot & Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market has about 2,000 spaces, of which 500 are outdoor and 1,500 are indoor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most inside vendors sell new merchandise,â&#x20AC;? McClellion continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New merchandise runs with the fads, and a big one now is remote control helicopters. A lot of people are selling those. When I was a kid, lighted yo-yos were a big thing.â&#x20AC;? Outside, about 80 percent of vendors are selling used merchandise. Vendor spaces are 10 feet by 10 feet, and rental fees are $10 per day, for both indoor and outdoor spaces, for permanent vendors. When vendors buy spaces for 13 consecutive weeks in advance, the price drops to $6 a day. Daily vendors continued on page 74 www.FleaMarketZone.com

Flea Market News Briefs Anderson Jockey Lot & Farmers’ Market
Flea Market Bill Would Ban Sale of Animals in CA
$1,400 Flea Market License Fee?
Anderson Jockey Lot & Farmers’ Market, in Belton, SC, has about 2,000 spaces, of which 500 are outdoor and 1,500 are indoor. “My father and DC Bryson started the market to help people start small businesses,” notes William Richard McClellion, III, market owner. McClellion says he is revving up advertising efforts as well as hosting more events in 2013. “We are working on having car shows, RV shows and boat shows. We just had a chili cook off. To get young people to the market, you have to host events,” he states. ■
Roger Dickinson, a member of the California Assembly, recently introduced legislation that would ban the sale of animals at swap meets and flea markets in his state. AB 339 seeks to “prevent the suffering of animals, protect consumers, and eliminate the public health and safety risks, and potential threats of disease outbreaks associated with such sales.” California law currently bans the sale of live animals on any street, highway, public right-of-way, parking lot, carnival or boardwalk. AB 339 has not yet been referred to committee. ■
McHenry, IL, city officials have drafted an amendment to regulate flea markets, and are getting ready to vote on an annual $1,400 license fee for operators. “A fee this large would drive small businesses out of business,” says Carl Eckel, owner of McHenry Flea Market. The city, however, is in talks with both Eckel and the National Flea Market Association (NFMA) to reach an agreement that serves flea market professionals as well as the city of McHenry. “I’m asking them to be more considerate on the fees,” Eckel adds. ■
Top 2013 Flea Markets & Swap Meets
Osceola Flea and Farmers Market
Flea Market Hosts St. Baldrick’s Event
Here are eight flea markets and swap meets that are managed efficiently and bustle with customers:
Osceola Flea and Farmers Market has been open since 1996, when it was refurbished. “We have more than 900 booths under roof, including a restaurant and three snack bars,” says Monique Cupolo, market manager. Regular vendors sell an array of new and used merchandise, fresh produce and Florida souvenirs, and Cupolo cites automotive items as some of the market’s best sellers. “Handmade Hispanic items are great sellers, too, such as custom made domino tables,” she adds. “Pet supplies do well here, too. They never go out of fashion.” ■
Eckel’s McHenry Flea Market, in McHenry, IL, will host a St. Baldrick’s head-shaving event on Sunday, March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, to raise money to cure childhood cancer. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Carl Eckel, owner of the market, shaved his head at last year’s event, which raised over $1,400. Both shavees and donors are welcome. Eckel’s McHenry Flea Market is located at 3705 W. Elm St., in McHenry, IL. The market’s phone number is 815-363-FLEA (3532). For more information, visit www.mchenryfleamarket.net. ■
