SUCCESS PROFILE

// WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY “I spent most of the weekend looking at the open space now available on my garage floor.” - Michael and Carolyn

“This is the most efficient use of garage space I have ever seen.” - Dr. Dennis D., Boise, ID

“The moveable hooks and hanging bars are an engineering miracle.” - K.M., Holly Springs, NC

// WHAT RETAILERS SAY “Our top sellers in the home storage category is consistently Monkey Bars.”

MONKEY BAR STORAGE FASTEST GROWING GARAGE STORAGE SYSTEM

I

n 1999, engineer and entrepreneur Jared Newman faced a dilemma common to millions of homeowners, “What good is a two car garage if I can’t fit two cars into it?” After researching the current solutions on the market he discovered a void for affordable garage products that could efficiently separate long term storage items from items that

are used frequently, while allowing a garage to serve in its primary function... Store Cars! What started out as a quest to design and implement a solution for Jared’s own garage has blossomed into an incredibly successful organization with over 150 internet and physical retailers. Thousands of homeowners have already reclaimed their garages by integrating a Monkey Bar Storage solution.

“Thousands of homeowners reclaim their garages each year with Monkey Bar Storage.” With garage storage being the fastest growing market in the home organization industry, Monkey Bar Storage has taken aggressive strides to position themselves as the leader in this fast growing market. They claim that their innovative patented design is what sets them apart from their competitors. The Monkey Bar storage system is designed and constructed in such a way to allow the home owner to store large and heavy items on our racks, but more importantly place them on the racks for easy grab n' go and organizing. Because the Monkey Bar racks have hooks that snap on and slide along the bar, the home owner can control how to organize their garage and can easily change it as their lifestyle changes. The company has received much praise from their customers that not only does Monkey

Bars help them get organized but more importantly it has helped them stay organized – something that many other products have not been able to accomplish. Monkey Bar Storage adds that not only is the system an effective storage solution, but it is also an attractive system. Their racks are powder coated with a grey and black finish to give it a great look and also to prevent them from rust. Monkey Bar Storage is so confident in their product that they offer a lifetime warranty. By providing a lifetime warranty and an excellent product, retailers throughout the nation have seen great sales numbers despite turbulent economic times. Each day homeowners are reclaiming valuable storage space in their garages to facilitate their increasing needs.

– James Packer

“We’ve had many customers buy one storage rack and come back to the store to buy more” – David Smith

“Not only do we sell Monkey Bars but we also use them to hang and organize our store’s inventory” – Jerry Fitzgerald

FLEA MARKET traffic continues to build year-over-year in an economy rebounding from a recession, and flea market vendors are shopping carefully for venues dedicated to attracting shoppers, and for suppliers that offer the best prices. These are among the findings of the 2013 State of the Flea Market Industry research, conducted by Sumner Communications, publisher of the Merchandiser Group magazines and FleaMarketZone.com. In February of 2013, Sumner Communications administered two online surveys, one to market managers and another to market vendors. Overall, the surveys revealed a sense of optimism among managers and vendors alike. Around 53 percent of managers surveyed say shopper traffic this year is about the same as last year, while 29 percent say it has increased. This rise in market activity builds on last year’s growth, as nearly 50 percent of managers surveyed in 2012 said traffic had increased over 2011. Likewise, 41 percent of vendors surveyed say they expect to see an increase in their annual sales revenue over 2012, whereas last year, 41 percent of vendors said revenue was about the same as 2011. The most effective sales strategies, according to vendors, are: • Good prices (87.9 percent). • Personality (63.7 percent).

FLEA MARKET REPORT This year’s survey also found that the majority of vendors (58 percent) have smartphones, enabling them to cater to shoppers who want to pay with credit cards by using payment apps. Choosing a marketplace is also key to success, and nearly 88 percent of vendors surveyed cite good customer traffic as the number one consideration in this regard. Markets are drawing in customers through advertising, and more than 82 percent of managers surveyed say they promote their markets. The top three media used are flyers (71.4 percent), newspaper ads (64.3 percent) and social media posts (50 percent), with social media posts noted as one of the most effective means. More than 70 percent of managers say they have a web presence, such as a website or Facebook page. Special events are also a vital means to attract consumers. Around 59 percent of markets, both this year and last, host special events, with the top three being: • Holiday celebrations, such as those centered around Halloween and Christmas, (70 percent). • Prize drawings (60 percent).

Low cost space rental remains the number two consideration in choosing a market this year (57.6 percent) as it was last year (63.6 percent). A convenient location is sought by 54.5 percent of vendors this year, as it was by 52.3 percent of vendors last year. Market cleanliness also ranks high among vendors’ desires. The flea market industry continues to be a promising venture for many businesspersons. Some 58 percent of vendors have been in the industry for at least six years, and 16 percent have run their businesses for 21 or more years. These findings are much the same as the 2012 survey, when around 56 percent of vendors had been in business for a minimum of six years and 15.3 percent had been operating for 21 or more years. Similarly, of managers surveyed, nearly 90 percent have been in the industry for more than six years with more than 41 percent in the industry for 21 years or more. In addition, around 41 percent of managers operate booths at their markets. This bodes well for vendors, as it gives managers hands on experience, and enables them to relate to vendors on multiple levels. Once again, the vast majority of flea market vendors

• Fundraisers, entertainment and car shows (40 percent each).

are selling new merchandise, 94 percent in 2013 and 95 percent in 2012. The 2013 survey shows jewelry is the number one product category, sold by nearly 50 percent of vendors, followed by gifts/novelties (43.5 percent), collectibles (41.2 percent) and apparel/clothing (38.9 percent). Furthermore, vendors say the top selling merchandise categories at their markets are jewelry, apparel/ clothing and antiques/used/vintage merchandise. Managers also name these three categories as the top sellers at their markets. When choosing wholesale suppliers, product value/price is most important to nearly 70 percent of vendors, followed by product quality (59.3 percent) and low or no minimum order (56.1 percent). These results mirror last year’s survey, when nearly 77 percent of vendors cited product value/price and 64.5 percent named product quality as key factors. Asked why they like their favored suppliers, nearly 73 percent of vendors say they offer the best prices, followed by ease of ordering (50 percent). Internet usage continues to trend up with 86.2 percent of vendors saying they access wholesaler websites and online catalogs to shop for and purchase merchandise. Nearly 85 percent of vendors say they prefer to respond to ads they see in print by visiting the supplier’s website or sending an email. While only 22.6 percent of vendors have a website, up slightly from 17.9 percent in last year’s survey, about two thirds of vendors have a presence on social media. Of vendors with a social media presence, 100 percent are on Facebook, 28.6 percent are on Twitter and 19 percent are on Linkedin. continued on page 68

Areas of concern for vendors include:

• Lack of customers (55 percent). • Too many vendors selling similar products at their markets (51.5 percent). Challenges managers face are similar in 2013 to the ones cited in 2012. The leading concern is the economy, followed by the weather, attracting new shoppers, finding qualified new vendors and advertising in a cost effective way. The 2013 survey also found that nearly 59 percent of respondents are members of PROVENDOR, the professional vendor association. PROVENDOR, launched one year ago, provides several free benefits including flash sales, subscriptions to Merchandiser Group magazines, quarterly newsletters and advisory information on key business topics. ■Sumner Communications has been serving the wholesale merchandise industry since 1988.

INDUSTRY NEWS

GLOBAL SOURCES’ China Sourcing Fair, now in its third year, will be held June 25-27, 2013, at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, FL. The show is the largest China-products exhibition serving the Latin American market, and provides retailers the opportunity to source directly from a wide array of quality suppliers from China, India and Korea. Last year, the Miami fair drew around 800 manufacturers and suppliers, as well as more than 6,000 attendees, both of which were increases over the previous year. Bill Janeri, general manager at Global Sources, expects the number of exhibitors and buyers to continue to grow as more and more industry professionals gain knowledge of the benefits of attending the show. “The Miami event provides a convenient, regional location to which Latin American buyers can easily travel in between the main April and October sourcing seasons,” Janeri explains. “With visitors also

Go Back to www.FleaMarketZone.com INDUSTRY NEWS coming from the U.S. and Canada, the event provides an opportunity for North American buyers to find deals on new products, and form relationships with a wide array of potential suppliers as well.” In November 2012, Global Sources surveyed Miami China Sourcing Fair 2012 attendees to better understand buyers’ sourcing behavior and their product preferences. Of the 548 respondents, more than half (52 percent) have been in business for over 10 years. “This indicates that these show visitors are well-established buyers and importers of consumer products for the Latin American market,” Janeri notes. The survey also revealed that 92 percent of respondents import or plan to import from Asia. Importantly, buyers purchase across multiple product categories, Janeri stresses, “indicating that they have a larger influence on consumer products distribution in Latin America.” “Buyers around the world are constantly looking for new sources of quality products and that next hot product that will drive consumers to their stores,” Janeri continues, “and they are looking to work with manufacturers who provide a reasonable quality-to-cost trade off.” China Sourcing Fair attendees will see new products from a wide selection of suppliers from Greater China (China, Hong Kong and Taiwan).

Registered show goers also are invited to attend the free conference program, “How to Source from China.” The seminar will provide a forum for an industry insider to share insights on product quality control, logistics and supplier payment strategies, as well as boost retailers’ knowledge of greater China’s supply markets. Show exhibitors will be organized into five categories: Electronics, Gifts & Premiums, Home Products, Fashion Accessories, and Garments & Textiles. “We look to serve all buyers at the China Sourcing Fair, from big to medium to small,” Janeri says. “Along with big and medium sized buyers, these manufacturers are happy to meet smaller buyers, who typically spend thousands of dollars a month.” Registration is free for qualified trade professionals. No one under 18 years old will be admitted at any time during the event. To enter the show, all visitors must present a business card with their name and company name printed on it. ■

ULTRAVIOLET DISTRIBUTING, launched in 2007, wholesales more than 2,000 items, including everything ultraviolet, blacklight reactive and photoluminescent. Blacklights and blacklight reactive merchandise are popular among flea market shoppers of all ages, from baby boomers who remember them from their youth to pre-teens who are experiencing the fun for the first time, says Troy Grow, president of the company. Blacklight tapestries, reminiscent of the 1960s, are hot sellers, he asserts. “They are made of cloth instead of paper, and they have a bit of a hippy feel.” Around 25 styles, both retro and contemporary, are available, including the ever-popular Peace, Love and Buddha designs. The silkscreened prints feature fluorescent ink on fabric with sewn edges that will not rip, and measure 23 by 28 inches. Each is packaged in a clear bag with a triangular hang hole, and a bright zinc spinner rack is free with the purchase of 48 pieces. Tapestries wholesale for $6 and retail for $12 to $14 each.

COMPANY PROFILE

Sporting Goods That Sell MAURICE SPORTING Goods, now celebrating 90 years in business, was established in 1923 by Maurice Olshansky as a sporting goods outlet in downtown Chicago. By 1958, the company had started to supply local discount stores with sporting goods and, today, it is the world’s largest distributor and manufacturer of wholesale fishing, camping, hunting, marine and athletic goods and accessories. The company’s main division, called Big Game International, imports brands of hunting, marine and athletic products. “Our primary business has been with mass merchant discount and big box sporting goods stores,” shares Norm Pflomm, national account manager of Maurice Sporting Goods. Presently, the company is expanding into smaller retail outlets including flea markets. Maurice Sporting Goods’ fishing and hunting products are very SKU intensive, and the company features more than 50,000 products in its online catalog. To further complicate matters, products are regional and seasonal, Pflomm states, so what sells may differ from market to market. To simplify things for vendors, the company creates individual programs to generate sales in their specific venues. “We work with some of the larger stores that span the country, including Walmart, Kmart, Sport’s Authority and Dick’s Sporting Goods, and they have us manage their businesses based on what is selling,” Pflomm points out. “We get a lot of our history off of POS sales and we apply that information to both large and small retailers.” Right now, fishing season is starting, Pflomm notes, and the company’s fishing combos, which are complete rod and reel sets, are terrific sellers with

For August and September sales, Pflomm suggests vendors stock up on hunting and fitness products. “Shooting sports are hot all year round, and we have shooting glasses which wholesale for $2.95 and retail for $15.99.” These plastic safety glasses are available with both clear and yellow lenses. “Exercise products sell well in the first and fourth quarters of the year,” Pflomm reveals. One hot item in this category is Maurice Sporting Goods’ four-pound strength training ball for women, which wholesales for $12.99 and retails for

$39.99, and is a fun demo product. “We are committed to service and to giving our customers added value,” Pflomm continues. “We are up to speed on all the new technologies to both collect data and drive business so we can help our customers select the right products.” Maurice Sporting Goods offers several point-of-purchase displays, such as one for its “Ready to Fish” line for vendors new in the business. “Our ‘Ready to Fish’ combo is a rod and reel, with line on the reel and everything you need to go fishing in a small tackle box right on the rod.” The company’s cardboard display holds 24 of these combos. “Another advantage we offer our customers is that we will break pack. We will ship down to a $150 order of a mix of products.” In addition, the company always has a number of items on special. Maurice Sporting Goods, with warehouses in Reno, Chicago and Atlanta, ships orders within 24 to 48 hours. ■

styles as well, and measure 23 by 35 inches. Best sellers include Sunset Bay Ship, Angel, Bob Marley and Alice in Wonderland. Posters wholesale for $5 and retail for $10 each. If vendors are going to sell blacklight posters, they are going to want to have the blacklight as well, Grow points out. “It’s really important for vendors to display the products under blacklight because, when people see the way the colors pop, they are more inclined to buy them.” UltraViolet Distributing carries multiple sizes and styles of blacklights, from an inexpensive keychain type to a model 48 inches long.

Another big seller at flea markets is the company’s invisible ink pen with mini keychain blacklight set, a novelty item for kids. Simple and fun, users write an invisible message on a suitable surface, then shine the blacklight on it to see it glow. These are a great price point, at $2.99 each, and get people to shop other items at a vendor’s booth, Grow notes. More and more people are hosting blacklight parties at schools, and for birthdays and other occasions, Grow continues. “People are buying cosmetics, decorations, tableware and other blacklight reactive party continued on page 82 78

1) Know your customers.

Based on your knowledge of what people typically buy, determine what other products you offer that could complement purchases. Ask customers if they are aware that you offer complementary products.

CIRCULATION

your pitch on serving a shopper’s needs, and explain the benefits of the product. Frame the conversation as a suggestion, not a mandate.

Lisa Evans 1-800-999-8281 x127 lisae@sumnercom.com

In your ongoing email communications, feature new and different products you carry in which they may be interested. Share testimonials, success stories and other information about complementary offerings.

4) Offer bundles. Bundling is a popular method for getting consumers interested in buying a group of items, rather than a single one. Offering a discount for a bundled package makes it doubly appealing. Consider a tiered scale of service, with low, mid and high price levels, so that shoppers may choose among the different price points. The key is to provide value for your customers, and cross sell only when it genuinely benefits your customers. Don’t fall into the trap of cross selling just for the sake of selling. You may succeed once or twice, but savvy consumers will quickly realize that you aren’t providing value in exchange for an additional purchase. ■

CROSS SELLING, offering customers a product related to what they’re already purchasing or planning to purchase, is a proven technique for increasing sales. Flea market vendors may fear overdoing the sales pitch, but customers in general respond favorably when told about merchandise that can add value.
