Starting a market can be a daunting experience, here are our tips:
- Find a suitable location: Look for a space that is easily accessible and has enough parking space
for vendors and customers. - Obtain the necessary licenses and permits: Check with your local government to find out what
licenses and permits are required to start a flea market. Everyone in SA must have a licence to operate. - Recruit vendors: Reach out to vendors on the platform, and support people who support local.
- Provide a positive customer experience: Make sure your flea market is clean and well-organized, and
offers a variety of products to attract and retain customers. - Advertising your market through vendors and on social media platforms. Ask VSA to boost your advert.
