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.

RC E-Bird Flaps and Chirps E-BIRD REMOTE control birds, available from Berlib, flap their wings like real birds, climbing, swooping and diving through the air, while making a simulated bird sound. A rudder on the bird’s tail allows users to direct the bird left or right, and users can control wing speed to make the bird climb higher and fly faster, or to hover in place. “When someone demonstrates E-Bird at a venue, it’s eye catching and people come from all over to see it,” says BJ Lehrfeld, company partner. The glider is made of lightweight material, and it is suitable for use both indoors and outdoors because of its wind resistant design. The bird is capable of controlled flight at a distance of
up to 70 feet. Flight time is about 12 minutes. E-Bird is available in four designs: Blue Pigeon, Green Parrot, Pink Butterfly and Orange Phoenix. Four AA batteries power the remote control. Wholesale prices range from $13 to $15, depending on the number of cases purchased, and retail is $30 to $50. Cases contain 24 pieces and there is no minimum order. The product packaging is bright and colorful, and boxes stack easily to make an appealing display. ■

Un timón en la cola del pájaro permite a los usuarios dirigir el pájaro a la izquierda o la derecha y los usuarios pueden controlar la velocidad de las alas para hacer que el pájaro suba más alto y vuelen más rápido o se mantengan en el aire. “Cuando alguien demuestra E-Bird en un lugar, es llamativo y la gente viene de todos lados a verlo”, dice BJ Lehrfeld, socio de la compañía.

Los precios al por mayor varían de $13 a $15, según la cantidad de cajas compradas y el precio al por menor es $30 a $50. Las cajas contienen 24 piezas y no se exige un pedido mínimo.

BasketPong Tailgating Fun BASKETPONG, A new tailgating game from XPS, combines the competiveness and skill of basketball with the fun and excitement of other outdoor activities, such as beanbag toss. The game is available in both door hanging and stand-alone configurations, which come in lightweight, compact carrying cases that are well suited to retail shelves. Similar to a basketball hoop, the standalone BasketPong configuration
features a vertical set-up, including a backboard, adjustable stand and base. The backboard on BasketPong has eight slots, in which customers place rims that are used to hold cups, considered basketball “baskets.” The goal of the game is to get a BasketPong ball into each of the cups, thus “eliminating” each cup or basket. BasketPong, designed for teams of two, generally is played from a shooting distance of eight feet with a playing height of six feet. Users can, however, create different patterns with the rims and cups, allowing them to customize the game and play at various skill levels. Additionally, traditional
basketball related games, such as Horse or 21, can be played with the product. BasketPong can be easily assembled for play within minutes. The half-court game wholesales wholesales for $56.95 to $69.95, depending on volume ordered, and retails for $99.99. The minimum order is 10 units. ■ For more information: XPS 650-D South Rt. 30 Hammonton, NJ 08037 Tel.: 800-493-4904 Email: paul@xtremepongsports.com Website: www.basketpong.com

El tablero en BasketPong tiene ocho ranuras, en las que los clientes colocan vasos que se utilizarán para sostener tazas consideradas “canastas” de básquetbol. El objetivo del juego es conseguir encestar la bola de BasketPong en cada una de los vasos, eliminando de este modo el vaso o canasta. BasketPong, diseñado para equipos de dos, generalmente se juega desde una distancia de tiro de ocho pies con una altura de juego de seis pies. Sin embargo, los usuarios pueden crear patrones
diferentes con los aros y las tazas, permitiéndoles personalizar el juego y jugar en diversos niveles de habilidad. Además, los juegos relacionados con el básquetbol tradicional, como Horse o 21, se pueden jugar con el otro producto. BasketPong se puede ensamblar fácilmente para jugar en minutos. El precio al por mayor varía de $56 a $69.95, según el volumen ordenado, y el precio al por menor es $99.99.

vendors without the need for a middleman, relying instead on its website, which keeps the company’s entire catalogue neat, organized and nationally accessible. The company functions largely through
its website, but in January of 2013, it will open a brick and mortar showroom for customers near New Jersey who would like to see and feel the products for themselves.
Basics tee shirts sell well at flea markets because they are a blank slate for either the vendor or the customer, offering the chance to get creative with tie-dye or appliques, or leave them plain. K & C Hosiery has more than 40 basic shirts to choose from and periodically adds new items to the list. Whether it’s shirts, socks or underwear, basic colors never go out of style in any sales setting. Right now, the company’s best sellers are men’s boxers, crew socks, thermal socks and wool socks, due to winter being just around the corner. The wool sock choices were introduced to the company last year, and following their successful sales, the company chose to continue stocking them. The socks do well for vendors because they are an easy impulse buy that customers are quick to pick up. Available in a variety of colors and fiber blends, such as merino wool and angora, these socks wholesale for as low as $3
per dozen, up to $24 per dozen for higher-end wool socks. The company’s minimum order is $100, but sellers who buy by the pallet or purchase an entire case of one item may receive a price break. ■ For more information: K & C Hosiery 7601 Kaighn Ave Pennsauken, NJ 08110 Tel.: 856-661-0060 Fax: 856-661-1160 Email: online@kchosiery.com Website: www.kchosiery.com

para clientes cerca de New Jersey a quienes les gustaría ver y sentir ellos mismos los productos. Las playeras básicas se venden bien en mercados de pulgas que son un blanco para el vendedor o el cliente, ofreciendo la oportunidad de volverse creativo con desteñidos o apliques o dejándolas lisas. K&C Hosiery tiene más de 40 camisas básicas para elegir y periódicamente agrega nuevos artículos a la lista. Sin importar si son camisas, calcetines o ropa interior, los colores básicos nunca pierden el estilo en ningún lugar de ventas. 30
December 2012
En este momento, los productos más vendidos de la compañía son boxers de hombre, calcetines largos, calcetines térmicos y calcetines de lana, debido a que ya se acerca el invierno. Las opciones de calcetines de lana se introdujeron en la compañía el año pasado, y después
de sus ventas exitosas, la compañía eligió continuar vendiéndolas. Los calcetines funcionan bien para los vendedores porque son un fácil impulso de compra que los clientes llevan rápidamente. Disponibles en una variedad de colores y mezclas
de fibras, como lana merino y angora, estos calcetines se venden al por mayor a tan solo $3 la docena, hasta $24 la docena de calcetines de lana de la mejor calidad. El pedido mínimo de la compañía es de $100, pero los vendedores que compran por paleta o que compran una caja entera de un artículo pueden recibir un descuento en el precio. ■ Para obtener más información: K & C Hosiery 7601 Kaighn Ave Pennsauken, NJ 08110 Tel.: 856-661-0060 Fax: 856-661-1160 Correo electrónico: online@kchosiery.com Sitio web: www.kchosiery.com

MARKET NEWS
Quakertown Moving Forward After Sandy
COUNTLESS FLEA markets on the East Coast dealt with aftermath that extended beyond physical damage in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which moved ashore near Atlantic City, NJ, on October 29. For Quakertown Farmers Market and Flea Market in Quakertown, PA, severe power outages resulted in mass product loss for many food vendors. In this interview, market manager John Chism shares how the market is coping and his plans for its future.
and pumps ready. We cleaned our storm drains thoroughly to help prevent water from getting into the building. Some businesses consolidated their foods into the freezers that did have generators, but generators were difficult to come by because everyone in the area was buying them.”
Editor: “What damage did the market sustain during Hurricane Sandy and how is it recovering?” Chism: “We prepared for Sandy to hit, but were still forced to close. The storm knocked out power to our market and to 8,000 homes in the area for nearly a full week, beginning on Monday and lasting through Saturday night. While we were able to open for the following Sunday, all of our food vendors lost thousands of dollars in product.”
Editor: “What was the state of affairs at the market prior to the storm, and what events are scheduled for the next few weeks?” Chism: “We just had our annual Halloween parade and costume contest, where we had nearly 600 contestants present. It was perfectly timed because we no sooner finished up than it started to rain. Now, approaching the holidays, we’re doing our annual ‘Take This Bird and Stuff It’ contest, where we give away 20-pound turkeys. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Santa comes into town on a fire truck in a short parade, and we distribute candy canes and coupons for photos with Santa. Finally, we have an event called Santa Paws
Editor: “What were some effective preparations you made in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy?” Chism: “We took steps to prevent flooding and water damage, which worked very well. These included having backup generators 52
December 2012
Editor: “How did reopening day go on the Sunday after the storm?” Chism: “Everything went well and people were happy to see us reopen, but not all of the merchants were able to participate because they lost so much product. We opened with what we had so that vendors were able to sell for part of the weekend, but what helps the most is that, luckily, all of our merchants are required to be insured. They’re happy about that now.”
Day on December 9. Shoppers can bring their pets to the market to have their photos taken with Santa. We get some unusual pets, from boa constrictors to exotic birds and pygmy goats.”
Editor: “Does Quakertown Farmers Market and Flea Market offer any special holiday promotions?” Chism: “We extend our Silver Savers promotion, which we usually run on Fridays only, so that it runs every day from Black Friday through Christmas Eve. With this promotion, for every $20 seniors 62 years old and up spend, they receive a $1 Market Buck back. We also have a promotion with our Market Bucks where every $20 of Market Bucks purchased receives an additional $1 Market Buck free, up to $300.” Editor: “What role do you think these special events and promotions play in your market’s success?” Chism: “I think our advertising plays a role in bringing people to the market, and after that point, the promotions keep their interest and keep people at the market longer. It’s a two-pronged approach. We also step up our advertising at Christmas time and try to be very unique with our advertising.” ■

FLEA MARKET FEATURE
Caesar Creek Insights SUMNER COMMUNICATIONS Editor, Gloria Mellinger, recently spoke with Greg Dove, president of Levin Service Company, the parent company of Caesar Creek Markets, and Janet Burton, general manager, about business and legal issues of which vendors should be aware. Dove is also VP of the National Flea Market Association (NFMA) and a member of the association’s legislative committee. Editor: As a long-time flea market professional, I’d like to get your input on the legalities of the business. Where do vendors start? Dove: “When vendors contact us, the first thing we do is refer them to our Rules and Rates sheet. It’s their obligation to stay in compliance with all state, county and federal laws. The Rules and Rates sheet encompasses all of our rules for merchandizing, how booths can be set up and hours of operation, and this is one section of it. All the markets, that I’m aware of, in the NFMA have a Rules and Rates sheet. Maybe some markets wing it, but that would not be advisable.” Editor: Who would vendors contact for laws about general merchandizing? Burton: “In order to get your vendors license and sales tax set up, we provide the web address for the Ohio Department of taxation, and there you can purchase a vendor’s license online.” Editor: Are federal laws around flea markets changing much these days? Dove: “There are always attempts to put language concerning counterfeit at the federal level that is detrimental to the flea market 54
December 2012
industry. The NFMA works very hard with our legislative committee and with an outside government relations firm to prevent that. The NFMA’s position, which is what we subscribe to at our markets, is that counterfeit is not allowed. We state that in our Rules and Rates, we police it and do everything we can to protect manufacturers’ trademarks and their merchandise. Burton: We stay in contact with government agencies regularly to be sure we are up to date on the information we are giving vendors, as well as staying in touch with the Ohio Department of Agriculture. They make yearly visits down to the market. Editor: What other rules are implemented by the governing agencies? Burton: “Under Ohio law, secondhand merchandise, articles such as clothing and bedding, need to be Steribagged to sanitize any type of porous materials. We have worked with agencies in the past, and representatives have come down and given information to our vendors to keep everyone safe.” Editor: What else do vendors need to know? Dove: “If someone is coming to set up on the outside, maybe one or two weekends, and they are selling their own merchandise, in the state of Ohio there aren’t government regulations for that. If they are selling their own items, there is no sales tax requirement. If they are selling new merchandise, they have to get the licenses they need. Burton: “So far, the annual fee for a vendor’s license is $25. That is what it has been for six years or so. With the transient license you can go county to county. I recommend the transient license for
Part Two
our vendors because then they can go to our sister markets, Dixie Drive in Dayton and Treasure Aisles in Monroe, as well as Caesar Creek. Editor: What else do you recommend? Burton: “We discuss vendors’ space requirements and whether or not this is a long term business and then we can recommend outdoor or indoor spaces.” Editor: What else is in the new vendor packet? Burton: “We have the merchandise guide, the Rules and Rates and parking passes. Vendors don’t have to pay the admission to get in and open up their spaces. They also get complimentary passes to give to their favorite customers, and information on local lodging and restaurants.” Editor: What else do vendors need to be aware of? Dove: “If they are selling food and it is a regular business, they have to do the labeling which requires five items on the label.” Burton: “The Ohio Department of Agriculture requires a statement of identity; ingredients and subingredients, as well (this just changed last year); statement of responsibility (who made it, where and contact information); quantity of content (weight); and that it is a cottage food and home produced.” Editor: Is it easier or more difficult to become a vendor today as compared to a few years ago? Burton: “I think it is a little more difficult to make sure you are abiding by all the rules of the county and state, but that is why we continued on page 56

HOW TO
How to Master the Holiday Marketplace AMERICANS ARE expected to spend about four percent more this holiday season than they did last year, and market vendors can expect to get a piece of that action. As shopping season commences, all types of merchandise move at a more rapid pace than usual, even for vendors who don’t sell holiday themed merchandise. If you’re thinking of giving seasonal products a try, however, there are a few actions you can take to master the holiday marketplace.
First, take into account the layout of your booth. It may be easier to theme or localize your holiday products than to disperse them with your other merchandise, or the opposite may be the case. In general, decorations can be placed anywhere in a booth, displayed as they would be in a customer’s home, whereas standalone items do better when clustered together. If you want to sell something versatile, try colored or clear rope lights and garlands, and display these as you would in your own home. For more holiday specific products, creating a section in your booth tells customers that yours is the right booth for all of their holiday needs. Next, know the trends. While some holiday products are less subject to trend than other types of merchandise, there are still trends within the seasonal sector worth noting. This year, cool hues and vintage bulbs are seeing an uptick 58
December 2012
in consumer interest, and LED lights are more popular than in previous years. Knowing that customers are drawn to items that deviate from the traditional red and green theme can give vendors an edge, and help you buy merchandise that will make you stand out from the rest. One thing you may want to consider, if you operate your booth on a weekly basis or are at a flea market that runs year round, is offering a coupon or gift certificate plan to your customers. If you have the same booth week after week and your customers are locals or regulars, offering a gift certificate is one way you can turn a profit now, while creating new or repeat customers later. While it doesn’t apply to every flea market or vendor, it’s worth giving a try. For hobbyist vendors, try checking out the one-day bazaars that pop up around the holidays. These annual affairs often get a great deal of publicity and can be worth the effort involved because of the volume of foot traffic. An extra day or two at a nearby popup market can be a quick and easy profit opportunity. Keep an eye on the FleaMarketZone.com news column and your local community calendar to find festive events in your area. Finally, amplify your marketing efforts. This is the time of year when new customers are actively seeking out places to get a great deal on the right gift, so use social media and word of mouth to your advantage. If your market has a Facebook, Twitter or independent website, make sure your booth is a part of it. By putting forth a little extra effort in the name of publicity, you can be sure that shoppers will flock to your business. ■
How to Succeed in 100 Square Feet EVERY VENDOR knows the drill. There’s packing, transporting, unpacking, then with any luck, you return home with a lighter load of products and a pocket full of cash. If you want to make the most out of every market experience, upgrade your approach using a few of our business boosting tips. Successful vendors know to always arrive at a market prepared and to expect the unexpected. Before going to any market pack a kit of tape, pencils, pens, markers, a hammer and nails, in addition to your merchandising materials. Be sure to include any decorations you may need, such as lighting, signage and shelving units. Make a note of the dimensions of your tables and displays, then draft a plan for how you’d like to arrange everything once you get to the market. Having a plan before you go makes it easier to set up once you arrive, and takes some of the stress out of setup. When first entering a booth, take stock of what’s already there. Determine where electrical outlets are, whether or not there are walls, and if so, whether or not those walls will take nails, tape or other hanging methods. Knowing exactly what you have to work with is essential for carrying out your merchandising plan. If you had considered a particular arrangement for items requiring electricity, you’ll need to determine whether or not the location of electrical outlets coincides with your plan. Make changes as needed, and remember to bring a few extension cords, just continued on page 64

SCORE Mentors Small Businesses SCORE, a nonprofit association dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals, provides multiple resources that support independent retailers all year long. These include volunteer mentors who share their expertise across 62 industries; free, confidential business counseling in person or by email; free business tools, templates and tips online; and inexpensive or free business workshops locally and webinars online.

in case. Finally, think “up,” not “out.” Regardless of whether or not your booth is equipped with walls, remember that some merchandise can be stacked, or arranged vertically without the need to occupy extra floor space. When it seems as though the booth simply doesn’t have enough room for your products, build up. Keeping a ladder or A-frame shelf handy can multiply your display space several times over. Remember, when you need to make the most out of a small booth, it’s important to think outside the box. ■

Flea Market News Briefs Markets Host Holiday Drives Flea markets across the nation held toy and food drives throughout November to help those in need. Here’s a sampling of some of the events. Treasure Island Flea in San Francisco, CA, held a special shopping event to support the San Francisco Firefighters’ Toy Program to benefit Bay Area children. In Mansfield, CT, the Mansfield Drive-in Theatre & Marketplace operated a canned food drive. In return for donations, patrons received free parking. The Kyle Flea Market in Kyle, TX, held its first annual holiday food drive and situated donation boxes around the market. ■
Vendor Shares Insights
Hurricane Sandy Hits Hard
Mario S., a Philadelphia vendor who also has a blog where he posts market reviews, spoke with FleaMarketZone.com to share his thoughts on flea market product trends. Mario sells both new and used merchandise. “Designer boots and shoes are very popular. 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. A lot of flea markets are vintage and antique, and in the last five years that has become big business.” ■
Countless flea markets on the East Coast dealt with severe damage in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which moved ashore near Atlantic City, NJ, on October 29. Quakertown Farmers Market and Flea Market in Quakertown, PA, prepared for Sandy to hit, but was still forced to close when the storm knocked out power to the market and 8,000 homes in the area for nearly a week. Quakertown reopened on Sunday, November 4, and is looking forward to scheduled events in the coming weeks to restore the market to regular working order. ■
Florida Flea Market Reopens
Silver Lake Market Opens
The Northside Flea Market in North Fort Myers, FL, reopened this fall after having closed in the mid-2000s. The reopening celebration, with a theme harkening back to the market’s 1958 opening, showcased live music, a classic car show and more than 250 vendors. The market also operates a 50’s style diner and a restored authentic movie screen, which turns it into a drive-in theater on select nights. Northside Flea Market is open year round, and in 2013 plans to add a new screen for drive-in movies, to help draw crowds. ■
The Silver Lake Flea Market, in Providence, RI, reopened December 1, and provides roughly 300 indoor and outdoor spaces. The handicap-accessible market offers free admission and parking for patrons, as well as free electricity and trash removal for vendors. Additionally, ice is free to food vendors with booths in the market’s food court. Indoor booths are 8’ by 10’ and outdoor booths are 10’ by 20’. The rental fee is $35 for a weekend. The market provides 24-hour security from cameras, alarms and an overnight guard. ■
Holiday Market in Chicago The sixth annual Randolph Street Market, in Chicago, IL, is slated for December 15 and 16. Recommended by Chicago Magazine as a top pick for holiday shopping, the market yields a high volume of foot traffic each year. Randolph Street Market offers free parking and free gift wrapping for shoppers, and this year it has added a Toys for Tots toy drive to help children in need this holiday season. The indoor market runs on Saturdays and Sundays one weekend per month, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ■
