FEATURE STORY

Top Tech Tips for Today’s Vendor by Jes Zurell

THE MAJORITY of Americans believe that smartphone payments will replace credit cards and cash, according to a recent study by Harris Interactive. With mobile credit card processing on the rise, flea market vendors are gradually joining the mix of sellers using their smartphones to help turn a profit. Phone Swipe, a mobile payment processing solution, was specifically crafted by North American Bancard to help businesses and vendors increase revenue. Since launching in 1992, the company has grown to process more than 12 billion electronic transactions annually for more than 150,000 merchants nationwide. “Phone Swipe allows business owners to offer their customers an expanded range of payment options, and allows consumers to conduct credit transactions anytime and anywhere,” explains Leonard Wong, sales partner at North American Bancard. Mobile payment systems are perfect for the flea market and swap meet industry because many vendors are constantly on the go, he points out. “They often work a variety of hours in

different locations. Technology is something that they can use to increase their revenue.” Before another moment of 2013 passes, vendors should consider putting the following tips into practice. 1) Smartphones account for roughly half of all mobile phones being used today, so, for those making the transition to touch screens and data plans for the first time, begin by researching your options. The most important attributes to focus on are the network speed at your market and the amount of data storage you have. Does one carrier have a better, faster signal in your area? If so, be sure you are with the carrier that will be least likely to lose service mid-swipe. For hardware, the popular vote has been primarily with Android phones, chosen by 48 percent of smartphone users. Some 32 percent of users prefer Apple and 11 percent choose Blackberry devices, according to Nielsen Mobile Insights. In choosing your device, consider the volume of business you do on an average week at the market. If you make continued on page 12 www.FleaMarketZone.com

2) Make sure that your personal financial information, and that of your customers, is secure. The best way to do this is to take a close look at the fraud protection strategies of any mobile card payment system you consider. An important area to note is Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. For vendors who have not owned a brick and mortar store or processed cards in the past via a regular credit card terminal, PCI compliance

may be a new concept. By verifying that your mobile processing system adheres to PCI guidelines, you will be able to avoid any misconduct fees. Consider taking the tech savvy route and attending one of the PCI Security Standards Council’s webinars. More information for small businesses and vendors is available at www.pcisecuritystandards. org/merchants. 3) Remember that the system components themselves should not be expensive. This type of technology is on the rise, and, as more service providers enter the mobile payment market, the growing competition leans in vendors’ favor. In the case of continued on page 14

Phone Swipe, the app and card reader are available for free. “The most important benefit is the cost savings,” Wong adds. “We charge 2.69 percent per swipe, which is the lowest in the industry. Beyond that, there are no setup, monthly, minimum or cancellation fees.” 4) Customize your payment system to suit your booth and business needs. This is especially important when it comes time to track transactions. Inquire as to whether or not any technology you’re considering gives you the option to use real-time reporting, specify date ranges and search for individual transactions. Many free spreadsheet apps are available for Android and Apple devices, including Zoho Sheet, EditGrid and Zoho Reports. These apps allow you to store your booth’s sales data on the go. 5) Make it a priority to set up your default tax percentage within the settings on your mobile payment app before you pack for the market. This will ensure that the line between taxes and net profits remains clear. Having this setting in place ahead of time not only eliminates excess number crunching, but also makes filing your paperwork easier when spring arrives. Some mobile processing apps are even configured to detect your location using your smartphone’s GPS, and then automatically continued on page 16 www.FleaMarketZone.com

calculate the tax rate. 6) Use technology to help you add discounts to your merchandise. With Phone Swipe, you have the choice to do this either by dollars or percentages. If you aren’t sure how much of a discount you can afford to offer, install an app like Discount Calculator or Checkout Helper on your phone to crunch numbers more efficiently. The flexibility to calculate individual discounts may help you cope with even the most insistent hagglers. 7) Bear in mind that even your most app-addicted customers

may still prefer a paper trail with their purchases. Mobile card readers can produce a printed receipt if you have a wireless AirPrint enabled or Star thermal printer, both of which are available on the Phone Swipe website. Offer every shopper the choice of mail or print receipts for every transaction. 8) Take control of organizing your inventory, and use photos from your smartphone library to help you. Wholesale suppliers prefer it when orders are placed online because they can send electronic confirmations and shipment updates, while also keeping their own inventory up to date.

smartphone and the Internet to keep track of available inventory, orders due for arrival and what you’ve already sold. An inventory tracking feature is one of the lesser known capabilities of certain card processing systems, and it can be useful for on the go vendors. 9) If there is more than one person working at your booth, streamline your selling process by linking multiple card readers to a single merchant account. This will eliminate the step of compiling sales from separate people and will minimize human error. Rather than go through sales by hand, use a system that tracks every transaction for you and holds this information in a single database. Zoho Sheet and EditGrid are useful online spreadsheet applications, and at the close of every market, you can store your data in the cloud, using storage hosts such as Google Drive, if you have a gmail account, or Dropbox. 10) Be sure the system you choose is user friendly and that tech support is readily available. “Phone Swipe is more intuitive than learning to use your average credit card terminal,� Wong points out. “If you have learned to use a credit card terminal before, this is going to be a cinch.� Accepting credit cards on the go is a simple matter of putting the credit card reader in the socket on your smartphone and downloading continued on page 20 www.FleaMarketZone.com

Cool Shades a Sunny Delight by Gloria Mellinger

SUNGLASSES ARE a sought after fashion accessory, and the latest styles promise not to disappoint as they reflect 2013 apparel trends. Bling, bright hues and funky patterns, as well as retro looks in the forms of wayfarers, round Jackie O’s, cat-eye contours and aviators, will be popular sellers at flea markets this season. Sunglasses are a key accessory in anyone’s wardrobe, says Max Levy, buyer and product developer for iZone Group, designer, manufacturer and distributor of UV3 Sunglasses. “More and more, eyewear is being used to emphasize a person’s lifestyle, whether it’s glamorous or earthy.

It’s a great way for people to accessorize.” Vibrant colors, including reds, yellows and oranges, and big bold frames will be strong, along with ever popular wayfarers and aviators, Levy points out. “UV3 Sunglasses is introducing fresh, fun versions of these designs. You’re going to see plastic aviators and larger versions of wayfarers. Wayfarers have been really hot in the last few years, and this year you’ll see big tweaks in shapes and color patterns.” Over the last decade, the UV3 Sunglasses brand has been viewed by millions of people, Levy adds, making it an attractive product to sell at flea markets. “UV3 not only has a superior quality product, but it is also instantly recognizable. We experience strong sales across the country year after year, and many consumers know our brand. Our products, especially our polarized line, are ideal for sitting at the beach, driving in a car, sailing, fishing, any outdoor activity.” UV3 Sunglasses are available in two lines, standard and polarized. Standard UV3 sunglasses wholesale for $4.25 and retail for $14.99, and UV3+ polarized sunglasses wholesale for $6.75 and retail for $29.99. Vendors will receive special pricing upon calling the company and referring to this article. Also of interest, UV3 Sunglasses has

a print shop in its warehouse and offers sellers custom point of purchase fixtures, as well as standard displays. Kirk Bachelder, CEO of CTS Wholesale Sunglasses, concurs that wayfarers are where it’s at this spring. With more than 25

were big last year and they’ll be a huge seller this spring, too. Wayfarers were popular in the 80s, and fashions that have been popular in the past seem to cycle back.” The wayfarer style also is popular because people tend to follow what celebrities are wearing, he states, and they are wearing wayfarers. Neon colors, distinctive patterns, like polka dots, and add-ons, such as bows, will be popular for 2013, he adds. “We also expect animal themed glasses, such as cats and those with leopard and tiger prints, to do well.” Novelty glasses may be another hot item. “We have

brand new pixel design glasses, like the pixels on a computer monitor. I think these are going to do well for us.” Another look that went hot and cold and is expected to be hot again this year is the aviator, especially with mirrored lenses. “We have specialty ones, such as one that has an American flag pattern on the lens. Those will be good for the Fourth of July.” The company has more than 700 versions from which retailers can choose. CTS Wholesale merchandise wholesales for $8 to $40 per dozen, with the average price being $20 a dozen.

CTS Wholesale Sunglasses has about 35 counter top and floor displays, which can be purchased separately or as a package deal. “We select our best sellers and load a display. For example, 96 pairs of sunglasses and a display wholesale for $215 and have a retail value of $955, so it’s a nice markup,” Bachelder asserts. “We have a 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse and our website is really up to date,” he stresses. “When retailers place an order with us, we have everything in stock ready to ship, and we usually ship the same day orders are placed.” In addition to fast product delivery, CTS Wholesale Sunglasses is big on customer support. “We have live chat on our website or customers can call us toll free. Our customer service is top notch.” Another wholesaler of sunglasses is Sunny Trading, one of the largest and oldest direct importers of accessories. “We sell designer inspired and sports varieties, many with polarized lenses, as well as safety and reading glasses,” says Sam Huang, VP of the company. “A lot of our customers like to buy polarized sunglasses in a variety of styles.

prices are a little higher than some of our competitors because of the superior quality of our merchandise,” Huang points out. Retail pricing varies by region, he says. “One style might sell for $30 in one city and sell for $10 in another.” Point of purchase displays are sold separately at reasonable prices, Huang notes. “It’s a convenience that we offer our regular customers.” Sunny Trading is flexible on order size but buyers must order individual styles by the dozen. Huang attributes the company’s more than 30 years in business to its incredible selection of glasses along with its great customer service. “We deal more with quality than anything and people are very happy with our merchandise.” “The wayfarer is a classic that started in the 50s,” adds Anthony Masiello, president of Mass Vision. “The Hello Kitty design, still a wayfarer, is popular with teenagers.” Mass Vision offers mixed dozens, giving retailers 12 pre-selected looks per dozen, which may be particularly attractive to retailers with small stores and limited space. “We offer six mixes,” Masiello comments. “Our most popular brand is Louis Valentin, which is inspired by Louis Vuitton.” The firm also has a fashion mix and a men’s mix. There are around 500 styles on the website at a time, and the offerings change frequently. 32

both counter and floor, are sold separately. The company offers three packages, which include a display and sunglasses. Retailers can purchase, for example, the 24 pair counter spinner with a mirror on the top along with 30 pairs of Mass Vision’s best selling sunglasses for $110. In addition to wayfarers, retro sunglasses with color translucent frames will be popular this spring, according to Janice Chien, sales manager of PR Sunglasses. “Neon and different colors and

finishes are big this year. I’m also seeing neutral colors coming back. For men, sports wraps and aviator styles with new accents and colors are very popular.” PR Sunglasses carries many lines designed for small kiosks and convenience stores, Chien shares. Retail markup is three to five times wholesale prices, which are available upon request. The company also sells displays, both floor and counter, that hold six to 120 pairs of glasses. The minimum order is $100. “We offer the best quality at the lowest prices, and excellent customer service,” Chien stresses. “All our sunglasses are UV protected and have polycarbonate lens.” Clearly, sunglasses suppliers see eye to eye when it comes to spring trends, and wayfarers are leading the way. Flea market vendors who stock a variety of sunglasses styles, in both brilliant and neutral colors, as well as bold patterns, are sure to catch the eye of the consumer. A variety of styles and price points abound, making sunglasses an attractive product to round out any seller’s line of merchandise. ■

Because flea markets lend themselves to sales of novelty products at reasonable prices, they are a great place to introduce Boost Fuel Saver, says Kelly Brooks, president of the company. “I’ve got a vendor in California who is doing very well selling our product, and independent auto parts stores are great sellers too,” Brooks continues. “Snow Auto Parts, in Lincoln, Nebraska, began selling Boost Fuel Saver in April of 2012 and product is being restocked every 30 days on average.”

Brooks came across the Boost Fuel Saver and began using it in his own vehicles in 2010. “After I used the product for about five weeks, I noticed my engine was peppier and had more horsepower, and was using less fuel. With soaring gas prices the past few years, I knew this would be a viable product for the general public and business community.” The history of the product goes back nearly 60 years, as it was the first multi-purpose diesel fuel treatment developed, Brooks explains. “In mining operations, for example, diesel engines run about 15,000 hours and then they go through a maintenance check and the cylinder walls have to be relined. With our product, they don’t even do the engine check until the engine has 25,000 hours, so you can see continued on page 44

they are getting a lot more life out of their engines with our product. Now, Boost Fuel Saver is approved for use in gasoline as well. In addition to extending engine life, Boost Fuel Saver saves users money. For example, a 10 percent savings on 20 gallons of fuel, costing $3.50 a gal, would equal $7. When filling your tank once a week, that amounts to $350 in annual savings; and an over-the-road trucker who drives about 10,000 miles per month, getting about six miles per gallon, would use 20,000 gallons of diesel fuel per year.

How to Stay Financially Fit by Jes Zurell

AS FLEA market professionals continue to transition into 2013, now is an excellent time for vendors to evaluate the effectiveness of their business practices. Here are a few strategies to consider to ensure that you cover all of your financial bases and enjoy a profitable New Year. Start by talking to a certified public accountant (CPA). Even if you don’t regularly consult an accountant, speaking with an advisor will help you discern a long-term strategy in addition to helping you organize for the next tax season. This additional perspective can help you prepare for everything from tracking expenses to filing tax forms. Next, take another look at how you classify your business. Are you a sole proprietorship, partnership or incorporated? If you’re considering forming a limited liability company (LLC) to mitigate some financial risk and reshape your approach to taxes, this is another item to discuss with an accountant. In general, your business entity should reflect your booth’s revenue, which may change if you have operated flea markets for several years. Insurance is one factor of 50

increasing importance to vendors as mobile payment technology becomes more and more commonplace. Smartphones play a more integral role in the vending experience, so be sure you have adequate coverage in the event that something should happen to your phone. Equipment such as card readers and your inventory may need to

quarterly estimated taxes and self-employment taxes (SE taxes, Form 1040) are essential tasks for vendors. In order to avoid paying penalties at the end of the year, get in touch with your State Income Tax Department to be sure you have all of the necessary forms. Cross check this information with the SE Tax page on the IRS website. Another important step is to assess your taxes from this and last year to determine if you underpaid or overest imated payments in previous years. Get your finger on the pulse of what your booth has earned to date and organize this information well in advance of tax season. Keep a ledger and audit it periodically to be sure it’s up to date. Additionally, make sure that you’re keeping your vendor finances separate from your personal expenses, if you have not yet done so. Whether you’re a sole proprietor or an LLC, it’s a good practice to open a separate checking and savings account for the revenue generated by your flea market business.

CARRIE TRUESDALE recently opened MC Glass Screen Repair & Flea Market in Rochester, NY, bringing a new indoor flea fix to the upstate area. A third generation flea market manager, Truesdale manages three markets, two of which are owned by her grandfather, a veteran of the industry. MC Glass Screen Repair & Flea Market is open seven days a week, and Truesdale has her hands full spreading the word. Truesdale recently spoke with Sumner Communications’ Associate Editor, Jes Zurell. EDITOR: “MC Glass Screen Repair & Flea Market is newly opened,

but how long have you been a flea market manager?” TRUESDALE: “I am going on my sixth year now. My grandfather was in the flea market business for more than 30 years, which he became involved with because he formerly worked cleaning out old houses. The job left a large amount of excess wares in his hands, so he decided to put them in a store and sell them.” EDITOR: “What type of merchandise is most popular at your markets?” continued on page 56
