Top Franchise Opportunities To Grow Your Business IF YOU are considering launching a flea market business, or already have a business and are investigating new opportunities, consider that franchising is on the upswing, according to the Entrepreneur 2013 Franchise 500. Franchise businesses already have products developed with operations in place, and have invested money in marketing and advertising to create brand recognition, making it easier for flea market vendors to set up shop. Points of interest when considering operating a franchise business include startup costs, ongoing fees and financing requirements, availability of training, types of ongoing support provided, such as newsletters, and marketing materials available, including advertising and local marketing pieces. Some franchisors require a large capital outlay, however, popular franchise product categories such as food, electronic cigarettes, pet supplies and nutritional products continue to do well in flea markets, without the expense of actually buying a franchise business. Here are five growing market categories for flea marketers. 1) Nutritional products. Shaklee is the number one natural nutrition product company in the U.S., and it continually researches and develops its product line. The firm presently sells four product lines: Healthy Nutrition, which includes vitamin and nutrient supplements; Healthy Weight, which offers such products as smoothees, a meal-in-a-bar, snacks and tea; Healthy Home, which

is a selection of green products safe for people and the planet; and Healthy Beauty products. Franchisees can get started for $299 for a mini package, which includes a distributor welcome kit along with a selection of products. Distributors earn 20 to 50 percent on sales.

Shaklee Corporation 4747 Willow Road Pleasanton, CA 94588 Tel.: 925-924-2000 Fax: 925-924-2862 Email: Online form Website: www.shaklee.com

2) E-cigarettes. The electronic cigarette business made a powerful entrance into the flea market industry several years ago and this product category continues to gain popularity with consumers. Whether to avoid health complications or to dodge exorbitant cigarette taxes, an increasing number of consumers are turning to electronic cigarettes as a replacement for traditional tobacco products. As a result, the electronic cigarette industry is booming, bringing in $300 million in total revenue at the end of 2012, and that amount is expected to surpass $1 billion within two to three years.

that continues to be well liked among market goers is fresh, hot roasted nuts. With Cajun Creole Products’ Tosty Nut Roaster, vendors can produce healthy treats that come with a built-in sales tool, an inviting aroma. The Tosty Nut Roaster commercial nut roaster is easy to operate, and roasts seven pounds of in-shell nuts per batch. Depending on the type of nut, it can take from 25 to 35 minutes to complete the process. Tosty Nut Roaster’s regular list price is $2,995, but the special introductory price is $2,495. Figuring today’s peanut prices, the machine pays for itself once about 360 bags of nuts are sold. If peanuts cost $1 a pound and you

make four 4-ounce bags, that is $.25 per bag. If you sell the bags for $2, your profit would be $7 per pound. It’s possible for sellers to recoup their initial investment in as little as one weekend.

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.

The Company says it’s seeking Distributors 1-800-538-0048 or email sales@sunglassmanufacturing.com (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.

Demo Products Grab Attention FLEA MARKET professionals know that charm sells, and the secret to flea market and swap meet sales is often as much about consumer and vendor interaction as it is about top quality merchandise. Market shoppers enjoy getting good deals on good products in an entertaining atmosphere that allows them to touch, hear or smell an item. Flea market consumers not only tolerate this active selling environment, they welcome it. It’s all about personality, and vendors can capture consumers’ curiosity, and cash, with innovative

products showcased with flair. The following products lend themselves particularly well to flea market demonstration. Remote Control E-Bird. Like real birds, RC E-Birds flap, chirp, swoop and dive through the air, while making a simulated bird sound, drawing shoppers from every corner of the market. The glider is capable of controlled flight at a distance of up to 70 feet for about 12 minutes, and it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use because of its wind resistant design.

sizes, which tackle any need, and our designs. They are very ‘pop culturish’ and a huge part of our product’s appeal.� Kirsh also cites the importance of mainstream retail support, noting that Stink Sacks are packaged for prominent placement on a peg wall, and the company provides booth decals as well as point-of-purchase displays, including a corrugated floor display and a metal wire rack. A display is free with the starter set, which wholesales for $600 and contains 126 pieces across all sizes and designs. Wholesale prices range from $2.49 to $4.49, and retail price generally is keystone. The minimum order is $200. Stink Sacks lend themselves particularly well to flea market sales,

Kirsh points out, not only because of the eye-catching packaging and displays, but because flea market goers love a good demonstration. “Vendors can put stinky food, like onions or fish, in the bag and seal it to show people for themselves. They can smell the bag up-close and find there is absolutely no odor. We do that at trade shows all the time and people are always impressed.� Consumers love the bags and sales are taking off, he adds. Stink Sack is offering to send retailers a free sample, with shipping costs credited to their first order. ■For more information: Stink Sack 139 East 35th St., Suite 10L New York, NY 10016 Tel.: 917-210-1067 Email: sales@stink-sack.com Website: www.stink-sack.com

ZAHRAH ® CORPORATION designs and manufactures high quality hookahs, single or multistemmed instruments for smoking flavored tobacco, in a wide range of colors and styles. “The company sells more than 30 unique water pipes and accessories, including bowls and hoses, to distributors and wholesalers who carry smoking products,” says Nasser Tarazi, owner of the company. Zahrah, which means blooming flower, prides itself on its designs as well as on its craftsmanship. “One thing that differentiates us from the competition is that we don’t buy off the shelf products. We have our own design team that crafts our products, and they are produced by our manufacturer. Furthermore, we visit our factory on a regular basis to check the production line, to ensure our customers are getting the right products and quality,” Tarazi continues. One large hookah, item CH625, is an example of Zahrah’s exclusive line. The bottom of the water pipe is hand blown glass and the stem is made of zinc, which prevents corrosion and rusting, Tarazi explains. “Zinc is durable continued on page 48

and makes a very nice finish. We use only high quality materials for all our products.” The CH625 is a one hose hookah that is about 29 inches long and has an extra thick glass base. It is available in multiple colors, including orange, black and brown, and comes with a retail box. Item CH625 retails for $89.99 and the wholesale price is $38. “Another differentiating factor is our excellent customer service. We are a trusted vendor and we are easy to work with. We make purchasing easy for our customers with good credit, and we can do 15 or 30-day terms, and we take credit cards for large purchases as well. This is something other sellers don’t do on big ticket items,” Tarazi points out. Another service Zahrah offers is customization. “Because we have a good relationship with our factory in China, we can offer white label business to our customers,” Tarazi adds. For wholesalers who want to purchase in large volume, such as containers, the company will work with its factory on specific designs or branding. The minimum order for wholesalers is $3,000. Customers are invited to visit Zahrah’s warehouse in Anaheim, CA, to see its complete line of products. ■ For more information: Zahrah Corporation 704 N.

COMPANY PROFILE

2nd Amendment for Firearms

2ND AMENDMENT Products caters to the self-defense and hunting markets with a complete line of aluminum pistol and rifle cases, slide and pocket holsters, and adapters for mounting a pistol or rifle to a bed. “I have developed very popular items, which I sell in large quantities at substantially lower prices than any of my competitors in the U.S.,� says Sol Sparer, owner of the company. Sparer, who has been in this type of business for more than 40 years, says his cases can hold more guns than others on the market. “On the inside, I have three layers of foam, which allows people to load and carry guns in two levels. All of my cases are airline approved, and it is essential for anyone who travels nationally and internationally with firearms to have my cases.� 2ND Amendment Products’ display cases also are purchased by dealers to showcase knives, guns and other merchandise they sell, Sparer adds. “We also produce slide holsters that have a five year warranty. We’re wholesaling them for $5 apiece and most vendors retail them for $20 each.� The Knight Guard is a very special holster, Sparer continues, and it can be clipped to a bed or worn on the body. It comes with an LED flashlight that has three functions: a narrow beam, a wider beam and a flashing light that temporarily blinds. “With a second adaptor, you can put a rifle or shotgun with a pistol next to your bed. Many people prefer a rifle or shotgun for in-home protection,� Sparer explains. “If people put the adaptor in the front of the bed next to the wall it completely hides the weapon, yet, it is readily available. continued on page 52

We’re the only ones to carry an item like this, and I’ve applied for a design patent.” The Knight Guard wholesales for $20. 2ND Amendment Products have a broad appeal at many selling venues, Sparer notes, stating that there is great potential for distribution and profits throughout the U.S. “We initially started in gun shows and many vendors at gun shows also sell at flea markets. Vendors can make at least double and sometimes three times their cost. My prices are up to 40 percent less than other distributors’ prices and I sell better products. I have some of the largest mail order and Internet companies selling my products, and I’ve had joint ventures with Pepsi-Cola and Grumman Aircraft.” 2ND Amendment Products offers a five-year warranty on many of its

goods and a lifetime warranty on all its plastic products. There is no minimum order, and Sparer says his philosophy is simple, “I don’t want anyone to buy my products if they can’t sell them. I prefer a vendor to order small and develop his own buying habits so he makes a profit on what he sells, rather than buying just for inventory. My experience has been that, once vendors begin buying and selling my products, order quantities increase rapidly.” Wholesale prices are available on the company’s Wholesale Central website. ■

to meet shopper demand. The company’s startup kit contains a battery, a USB charger and two cartridges, one tobacco flavor and one menthol flavor. The kit retails for $18 to $20. The Magic Mist’s disposable electronic cigarette is also popular among consumers, and retails for $7.

First Monday Trade Days: An American Success Story FIRST MONDAY Trade Days, in Canton, TX, is one of America’s oldest and largest flea markets. It began in the 1850s, when the Circuit Judge stopped in Canton on the first Monday of each month to hold court. People came to town on that day to conduct their business, stock their pantries and sit in on court proceedings, and many people brought their own goods, produce and livestock to sell or trade. By 1965, first Monday had outgrown the Town Square, and the city of Canton purchased six acres two blocks north of the courthouse. Today, the market is spread over 450 acres, has more than 7,000 booths and is open four days per month, Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month. “We are a community of 3,581 persons, and we grow to 200,000 to 300,000 people when the market is open,” states Mercy Rushing, marketing director for the city of Canton for First Monday. “We had a study done by Ray Perryman, one of the leading economists in Texas, and he said we get two million appearances a year, meaning those people could have been here for one day or for four days.” Eighty percent of the market is indoors and the outdoor spaces have roofs. Rental fee for a 10 foot by 10 foot space is about $50 for the weekend. Many of the market’s vendors are women, Rushing shares, and they continued on page 64

don’t want to cart their merchandise back and forth each day. Therefore, the market implemented a “lock and leave� program so people can leave their wares at the market. Market vendors who do particularly well selling new merchandise are those that embellish their products with an artistic touch, Rushing explains. “We have a lot of artisans, and we have a lot of unusual pieces, as well as some things you might see in a shopping mall.� Some of the market’s five owners insist on vendors who sell unusual items or collectibles and antiques, she adds. The market has, for example, one area with vendors who sell only knobs. “We have dealers who come in from California and other parts of

Flea Market News Briefs First Monday Trade Days

McHenry Approves $1,400 License Fee

Fleamasters Goes Green

First Monday Trade Days, in Canton, TX, is one of America’s oldest and largest flea markets. It began in the 1850s, when the Circuit Judge stopped in Canton on the first Monday of each month to hold court. Today, the market is spread over 450 acres, has more than 7,000 booths and is open four days per month, Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month. Eighty percent of the market is indoors and outdoor spaces have roofs. Rental fee for a 10 foot by 10 foot space is about $50 for the weekend. First Monday Trade Days welcomes around two million shoppers each year, and the community of 3,581 persons grows to 200,000 to 300,000 people when the market is open, says Mercy Rushing, marketing director for the city of Canton for First Monday. One of the reasons First Monday Trade Days is so successful, she adds, is because it is kept clean and safe, with firstaid facilities, and police and fire personnel on the grounds. Market vendors who do particularly well selling new merchandise at the market are those that embellish their products with an artistic touch, Rushing notes. ■

The McHenry City Council, in McHenry, IL, unanimously approved a measure requiring an annual $1,400 city license fee for flea markets. The outcome drew a sharp reaction from Jennifer Eckel, who runs Eckel’s McHenry Flea Market. “Congratulations, you got yourself another empty building,” she reportedly told the Northwest Herald. “We’re going somewhere that appreciates us.” Flea market operators will be allowed to pay the $1,400 license fee in a lump sum or in four quarterly installments of $350. The ordinance, which takes effect in May, also requires operators to provide proof of applicable federal and state licenses before receiving a McHenry license to operate. The city’s Community Development Committee initially focused on imposing daily fees of $4 on vendors, but flea market operators said such fees were excessive. The city would have made approximately an extra $10,000 for the year for Eckel’s McHenry Flea Market, Carl Eckel, owner of the market, told FleaMarketZone.com. Eckel had been in talks with the City Council to reach an agreement on a lesser fee. In other Illinois towns, he added, flea market licenses are generally $30 to $40 per year. ■

Fleamasters Flea market in Fort Myers, FL, is now using solar power instead of electricity to operate its business, and as a result will save around $16 million over the next 30 years. The market has paid more than $7.5 million to the local utility company during its 26 years in business, Andy Steele, owner of the market, reportedly told PV-Tech. Requiring an initial investment of $4 million, the system is expected to pay for itself in seven to eight years. Manufacturer Solectria provided inverters for a 1.2MW solar PV installation by SolarOne Financial LLC in Florida. SolarOne has created a unique financing model to help commercial businesses, such as Fleamasters, take advantage of solar power, save electricity costs, and benefit from federal tax credits and bonus depreciation, Steele said. Annually, Fleamasters Market is expected to generate 1,680,000 kWh, which is equivalent to removing 1,125.6 tons of CO2, removing 136 cars, 116,041 gallons of gas, planting 840 trees or powering 14,383 light bulbs annually. The 400,000 square foot market hosts approximately 900 retail shops, offering both new and used merchandise, and is open Friday through Sunday. ■
