SUPPLIER PROFILE

Handmade in the U.S.A. Soap From The Soap Guy activated charcoal. “The idea behind using activated charcoal is that it pulls the impurities out of the skin. This has become a gigantic mover for us and our resellers are selling a ton of this soap,” reports Dorian. “It is a very unique item.”

THE SOAP Guy, launched by Jeff Dorrian in 2002, continually strives to make unique, quality items that incorporate products from nearby farms. Additionally, everything is made in Northwest Indiana and none of the items are imported. To get the rich lather these soaps provide, for example, Dorrian uses oil from locally grown soy and corn, rather than the imported palm oil commonly used by other soap makers.

Greek yogurt and sea salt soaps The Soap Guy’s diverse line also includes Greek yogurt soap, which has rapidly become one of its hottest items. With real Greek yogurt in every bar, it is

Mr. Yellow Cap – Gas Can Cap MR. YELLOW Cap answers every homeowner’s questions of “Where is my yellow gas cap for my gas can?” and “where can I purchase another one?”

The product is an aftermarket patent pending design change of the original vintage Blitz style plastic yellow cap and will fit any vintage Blitz gas can spout as well as similar spouts from other gas can manufacturers. Blitz manufactured over 140 million of these plastic cans (people love them) and most are missing the yellow cap. The best part is that the entire cap is made and packaged in the U.S. in Fall Branch, TN. How does Mr. Yellow Cap work?

“We made a very simple design change by adding the tab to the side

of the yellow cap. We have filed for a patent and made sure it will do the job.

This tab allows you to tie a string to the hole in the tab and then to the handle of your gas/diesel can, thus never losing your Yellow Cap again,” explains Ken Hylton, owner. Wholesale pricing is $1.09 to $1.35 depending on quantity ordered and suggested retail price is $3.00 and up. There is a minimum order of 50 pieces. ■

New Age Discoveries Easy-Charge Cables NEW AGE Discoveries, launched in 2001, focuses on supplying vendors the hottest, best selling products on the market. Its latest introductions include the Easy-Charge Cable and braided 10-foot charge cables perfect for impulse and holiday buys.

The Easy-Charge Cable works with nearly all cell phones, including Android, Blackberry and Apple; iPods, iPads and tablets, MP3 and GPS, and more. This single cable is about nine inches long, has three ends, and eliminates the need to search for multiple cables to charge different devices.

“It’s one of the highest quality cables on the market. We have them manufactured for us, so it shouldn’t be confused with the cheap stuff,” explains Josh Eastman, company partner. Braided charge cables are also available and are as durable as they are popular. “You don’t have to be stuck to the wall anymore with these.”

Wholesale price for both charge cables is as low as $4 when 100 pieces are purchased and retail can be as much as $25. However, Eastman says the cables 44

October 2014

can retail for as low as $9.99 and vendors can still double their money.

Sonic Pod, a super small yet powerful speaker, continues to be a best seller for New Age Discoveries. The pod projects sound from anything, including a laptop computer, MP3, iPod, portable DVD player, cell phone and television, in a big way, while maintaining auditory quality. “We have created about the smallest, best sounding speakers on the market,” Eastman notes. Sonic Pod works with any standard headphone jack, and come with a oneyear warranty. It runs off two AAA batteries or an electrical charge, and a USB cord is included.

New Age Discoveries has a no-risk policy, and will buy back products from vendors if they do not sell. While there is no minimum order, price is dependent upon quantity. ■

How to Prepare for the Holiday Gift Selling Season

Fall Events at Fleamasters Flea Market

The holidays can be an incredibly stressful time for flea market vendors. They can also be busy and profitable if you sell greeting cards and gifts, but you need to have a clear sales strategy to make the most of this unique selling season.

The Pumpkins are coming to Fleamasters for the market’s fourth annual great pumpkin festival in Ft. Myers, FL. Adopt a pumpkin at the Pumpkin Patch ($5 to $15 per pumpkin) to take home. Other events include pumpkin decorating, face painting and wagon rides. The three-day event on Oct. 10, 11, and 12 features family-friendly activities, shopping and free entertainment. Musicians will stroll the main market; others will perform on the Music Hall Stage. Among the performers: Cape Coral’s Hafenkapelle Band, The Austin James Band, The Dixielanders and Dixie Strollers. The Pumpkin Festival also welcomes local dance teams, The Hot Flashz Dancers, The Calendar Girls, and Lariats and Lace.

Howl-o-ween goes to the hounds for Fleamasters’ canine costume contest to raise money for the Gulf Coast Humane Society, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. at Fleamasters flea market Music Hall Stage. The entry fee is $10. All registered dogs will receive a free dog bandana. The grand prize winner will be awarded a rosette ribbon and prize basket, including a $100 Fleamasters shopping spree. Other winners will also receive prize baskets and ribbons. For more information, visit www.fleamall.com. ■

1. Know your products It’s good practice to complete a quick inventory of your seasonal and everyday stock. Decide which items you want to sell over the holiday season, and everyday products that compliment this offering.

2. Know your customers Take a few minutes to think about what your customers need. When you’re deciding on ideas for promotions and offers, it’s essential to know how you can help solve your customers’ gift buying dilemmas.

3. Create your sales strategy The holiday season is the biggest shopping time of the year. This means there is huge potential, but also a lot of competition. Create special promotions, offer discounts that will get people excited about shopping with you, and give them a reason to buy.

Como Prepararse para la Temporada de Ventas de Regalos en los Dias Feriados.

La temporada de días feriados puede ser un tiempo incleiblemente estresante para los vendedores en los mercadillos. También puede ser un tiempo de altas ventas y ganancias si vendes tarjetas ilustradas y de regalos. Si quieres aumentar tus ventas, es necesario tener una estrategia clara para aprovechar al máximo esta temporada de ventas tan especial.

1. Conozca sus productos Completar un inventario rápido de los productos que se venden más durante los días feriados y durante todo el año, es una buena forma de empezar. Así podrá decidir qué productos desea vender durante las temporadas altas y qué producto cotidiano complementa cada oferta.

2. Conozca sus clientes Tome un momento para pensar qué necesita su cliente. Cuando este pensando en ideas para promociones y ofertas, es esencial saber cómo puede usted ayudar a resolver los dilemas de cada comprador.

3. Cree su estrategia de ventas La temporada de días feriados es el tiempo de compras más grande de todo el año. Esto quiere decir que no solamente hay un gran potencial para altas ventas y ganancias, sino támbien mayor cantidad de competidores. Cree promociones especiales, ofrezca descuentos que atraigan compradores y motivelos a preferir sus productos sobre los productos de sus competidores. ■
