My husband & I had an antique & consignment store for a number of years. My biggest suggestion would be to not overstock your space, & move things around every so often. You'd be surprised what people notice once it's been moved. Also, have a chair in your booth. These large buildings are tiring. I try to find a chair & while I'm resting for a couple of minutes, I'm looking at the stuff in the booth.
Don't really like to think of over extending yourselves. Plus you'll need to factor in the added expenses and employees. I guess I'd really have to think about. But you two have alot of experience and know what you're doing. God BLESS you in all you do.
Christmas items when the begins. Dolls like older barbies, vintage dolls. Vintage homeware, clothing, vintage garden items, pretty anything that is vintage. You could also put some toys for the kids that come in, you know if a kid sees something they like, parents are pretty much going to buy something for them so they can walk with the kids that are occupied with the toy. They would be able to look at your items and others in peace.
I have a busy booth in a large thrift store. I learned very early that if it was not full, customers walked by and glanced inside. If it was full, they have to come in to check it all out😊
My mom and I had a booth in two different thrift malls. You could focus on one to three different sections. Maybe kitchen items, home decor, and toys. You can also switch them out to something else every month or so. You can also do a holiday only booth and have items for every holiday. Don't have an overstuffed, busy booth because some people will avoid them. I do because there's more chance of something getting broke or going out the door without being paid for. Keep track of the inventory. We used tags instead of stickers. The cashier takes the tags and enters the booth number and amount into the register and places the tags of sold items into your booths folder. At the end of the month you will get them back along with a total sales receipt with your booth rental taken out of the sales. You can have a +/- balance. You run the risk of not making enough in sales to cover the booth rental, so they will tell you what you owe. That's one reason why we closed ours up. Too risky. Had better luck at a monthly yard sale at our houses than in the booth. It's a lot to think about.
Congrats! As a fan of shopping at antique malls, my best recommendation is to keep things as organized as possible and create easy pathways for customers. Don’t price things too high - people like to get a bargain and put things on sale when you can.
i would put your puzzel boxes and you glass critters , jewelery stuff like that
I had a flea market stand for many years before i had to retire. I was known as "The Video Queen" I started with movies and music then started getting collectable dolls. I had a good business for many years and i discovered. Sell stuff you your yourself loves. That ways you will be more careful about what you buy.
That’s awesome. Some of your things from the pallets and those sewing boxes are really nice. Vintage jewelry. I think y’all will do amazing. It is great to be able to get a booth inside, God had His hand on getting you the booth. I’m excited for y’all
I love stores like this. I hooe it doesn't take away from items on your website or in your fire sale. 😁
Whatever you decide to sell whether it's just antiques or mishmosh of items keep it full, run specials periodically, rotate items not only within the both but with other stock, keep the isle/walkway clear and make it bright and inviting. Mix smalls in with larges but don't hide them behind the large items, mix textiles with glass, woods with metals and always include a pop of color to draw the eye. Tour the other booths occasionally to see what those around you are offering and their pricing if you have the same or similar items. And don't out price yourself or the items won't move. Unlike an auction where people come to bid and fight for what they see and want, shoppers will look, check the prices and think they will look around to see if something else catches their eyes more and simply either forgets completely or forgets where the booth was. Definitely do a locked case or two for your more costly items. Go with your gut on what might sell, what looks good there and have fun doing it. If you don't then it might not be worth it for you all. Good luck.
I always love seeing movement in the booths. For example, the wind chimes or wind spinners are great to see and it didn't look like your neighbors' booths had anything like that. I tend to get bored seeing the same like items at all of the booths. I shop at antique malls like this a lot but I have never understood why there weren't any of the booth owners there. What happens if a customer has a question and the booth owner isn't there. I love going to flea markets because of the buzz of the people and seeing what they are buying too. I just feel that malls like this are not as friendly as an actual flea market venue. I can't wait to see what you all have in store for your booth and wish you all the greatest of luck! I love watching your videos!
I had a flea market booth and we could not keep lawn and garden decor or wind chimes and birdhouses in stock.. They all sold very well. I am excited to hear more about this. I will be praying for you as you walk through this journey.
One suggestion I have is to have at least some items that no one else sells. A lot of the booths seem to have the same things, which makes it harder to stand out. Standing out in a unique way will help to draw more business. I wish you the best of luck in your new adventure. ❤️
I had a friend who rented a space in an antique mall, she had to give it up as it cost more for the rent than she was selling.
Antique malls are a dying breed, lots of them are closing.
Wind spinners, some of your beautiful geo stones, outdoor decor for the summer months and then switch that out in the fall for some winter decor...good luck to you..i really enjoy watching your unboxing video's.. God bless you!
I cant focus with a busy booth. They are totally overwhelming. I just pass them by
a busy booth is just overwhelming keep it simple and congratulations love love you guys :)
The trick to selling anywhere is to have things that other sellers don't have. To many alike items and know one sells anything. I used to be on the craft circuit and found the outdoor week end shows are much better. I always did great at them. I realize you probably wouldn't have the time to haul things to and from every weekend to different places. I've also done a few of these instore ones and nothing. Oh also know matter where you are selling always try to get a both closes to the door or entrance.This is because customers still have a pocket full of money they are anxious to spend. These indoor shops I have never seen very many people in them but I do wish you luck and hopefully this shop will be different. And last but not least. Don't sign a long term contract quite yet. Good luck and may God bless.
Good place to sell small size clothes you can’t sell in the fire sales. This would be a great place to sell slow moving items you don’t sell in your store or on line, also you get some very unusually items from auctions that you might make more money on in this booth. Good place to sell things you can’t ship.
Did the mall raise prices on rent, so that the people are leaving? Check on turn over.
Busy Booths are way too overwhelming for the consumer shopping!!!
Busy booth is to busy!!!
Nice to see Paul good luck with it all
Start with the items you can't ship, some of your yard art, your antiques, be sure to move around your items, also if something has been sitting for awhile then replace it with a new item. If customers see the same thing always they will get bored with it. People are always looking for new items. New and different from what everyone else has.
First I want to congrats you both I think you should keep it simple all the things you have will sell them selfs you have many things and keep the price down like you do on line and in your store GOOD LUCK😊
I would consider that an antique mall booth vs flea market booth.
Sell glassware and ceramics and toys from the 90's and 2000's are hot.
Good place for auction finds 😊
Check with the mall before you put stuff in. Antique malls usually want things to be vintage. That I believe is at least 25 years old. Different malls have different rules. So auction finds are what would be top priority.
Consider a small section of your booth be devoted to different holiday decor & items.
This is the first time I can see you Paul.. WOW..😅
I guess once the space is cleared you'd be able to gauge, Decide ahead of time what you are willing to possibly lose if stolen - sad but true. I find "busy booths" overwhelming, A nice display of good items is better than crowded shelves, Also have some small novelty things that will attract kids (followed promptly by their parents) Change up the layout.
perhaps think of a "unique item" you can focus on" to draw interest. Not sure what the laws are in your state - but could you have a visitors book & build up a data base and you can send special offers e-mails for weekends or holiday times. Be different & offer something others don't. Gods richest blessings on this new endeavor.
Good luck with your new adventure you guys are pros 🎉🎉🎉
The beautiful tree bird spinner 😊
Your Longaberger baskets for sure. It the busy booth no way.
Nice to see Paul! Good luck
Awww so cool, so wonderful and so fun
Wind spinners. And then fall stuff Christmas things as the seasons come.
Antique malls are few and far between but many resellers like to shop for hogh end things at a reasonable cost and your auction nuys would be perfect for this space.
That would be a great idea ,, hooked on pickin booth..😅
Your booth needs to be styled since it’s not Heather’s favorite have Lexie Lexi Lexy (spell check) 😊or Mama Hooks style with furniture display pieces marked NFS (not for sale)you can also use pallets for display FREE & move items around & dust & never sell chipped items without disclosing on tag no stickers. Decorate in seasonal colors have sales no to busy no shoppers 😀
How exciting.
Put up posters in your booth with QR codes that link to your website, youtube channel etc.
That's awesom you guy will figure it out Best of luck
Pretty closed in at that place huh? I'm getting claustrophobic walking eith you. Lol
Obviously, the renters must do okay to stay. Must be a popular place.
I think you guys would do great wherever you sell.
Do you have have to be there to sell it or do you put numbers on the stuff you sell and then go up front to pay .I like the busy booth.they have a lot of good stuff 😊
Your Wind chimes would be good. Some are kind of delicate and large to ship.
Awesome 🎉
no busy booth, that's why there selling any it to busy.The dad find would great an any items that you cant ship
You’ve made a name for yourselves so that’s a draw for many people, but where there’s so much to see you have to make your booth a destination location with unique items so potential customers just don’t ‘walk on by’ good luck to you!
I would have gone in to see what was in the busy both. Just to see what they have some stuff could be a good price.
Congratulations on your new venture! For me, the busy-booths would make me want to leave - it's just too much. Looks like a nice Flea Market 🙂
Things I look for at flea markets and antique shops are; Vintage Christmas ornaments. Depression Glassware. Tools. Oil and Watercolor Paintings. Brooches. Gilded Picture Frames. Cabinet Hardware, etc...
Cookbooks too !
Wish you the best ! And always Jesus wins
love the busy booth
I had a flee market booth with my dad he sold musical item and I had hand made items one thing that always did great was $1 items also the wind chimes you get would do great.and the small toys.
🇬🇧🦋good luck to you both , coupl of things I could suggest
Look at height difference so item at the back are just as easy to see as the front , use little boxed to raise height etc it make area cleaner ,just look at high end stores how they attract foot flow to different products , always change out and move stuff , keep it interesting …. One question worrying me why so many booths moving out … take care Jesus always wins 🦋🇬🇧❤️
I am excited and sad at the same time... now it will be less for us who aren't local to get cool stuff..
The cookbooks you always seem to have, linens, jewelry, some of the baskets you get, just name a few things!
Also your windspinners that you can’t and wind chimes.
You know those benches you bought that's nice to put in there.
The paper weights would go great at the flea market.
Cookbooks too !
I would love to come and see your booth, but I don’t live in your state or anywhere near there. But I love going to places like that that are close to me.
I would sell some of the geodes and stone items from your supplier close by. They are unique pieces ans I didn't notice similaf items in what you showed in the other booth
My question is were you eating next door and thought you know what we should get a both? We always stop at that antique shop on our way to a game. Fill our tummies next door and find good deals. What more could one ask for
Flea met booth is hard work and something that requires alot of attention if you want to make a profit. I had a booth for almost 10 yrs. If something doesnot sell within 30 days , then most likely it won't sell. You loose alot to people stealing. Believe it or not, in my town, more vendors steal fr other vendors and customers steal from you. I loved it but I just don't see yall having the time but I am a viewer of your site so you might have alot of time. Good luck on your new adventure
My wife and I have a booth at a flea market called A place in time in Olathe ks. I have been pickin 40 years
When I got to places like that, I’m usually going to look for vintage or antique items. I usually skip booths with new stick. Busy booths don’t bother me if I see something that catches my eye, but those tags are so big they are distracting.
Do a booth with nothing but glass and pottery!! You will sell all day long!!
Oh the books, partial to childrens books.
The busqy booth is way too busy! I feel overwhelmed just looking at it. I prefer more organized areas.
Don't put too much in a booth. Visually overwhelming. Keep enough space for customers to move around. Use interesting pieces to display your wears that will draw a person in.
I’ve never seen anything like that. I’ve heard from other people that you need to have a lot of foot traffic. So I have no clue.
Please make sure things are clean. If I'm at a flea/antique mall and items are dirty,dusty, obviously in disrepair I just leave.
Nice space. Who is going to man it? You 2 are always so busy. Very best wishes.
Do you have any restrictions on what you can have in your booth. You get cardinal merch sometimes and there was a booth that was all cardinal merch
Over crowded booth woujd put me off .. afraid I'd break something.
That clock, is it tall enough to be grandfather clock or grandmother clock.
I was at a flea market in Jacksonville Florida.....in 2005. They were asking $2900.00 and it didnt work, and no key. It wasnt tall enough to be a grandfather clock but it was labeled as such.
Don't see enough customers in there to even interest me in renting a space there. But good luck and hope it works out for you.
Put some of your train lanterns in your booth
That was so cheap for that old floor clock . Usually see them higher
How does it worked does it not have to managed, how do you pay and how would you know who's payment it is, if its just one pay desk. I'm I missing something??
The "busy booth" is to busy for me. I can't focus on anything when people selling do that.
Decorate it for each season
Good For Yourself
You should put a lot of stuff in it or people dont stop to look
Busy booth has too much stuff!! I would walk away.
You should have different options in items. I know 😢you will do great like everything you do.
If to much stuff I won't go in cause I would be afraid of breaking.
.tuff I wonrvo in afraid would beeak
Longeberger baskets
That glass case was way to full you can't decipher what is in it.
Do not get to see your husband, James sure looks like him. It is nice to put a face to the voice.
But how busy are they to push would be my worry
Busy booth too busy for me that puts me off all that stuff
So, do you have to have someone man the booth every day, or is everything on consignment? If no one man’s the booth, I would be wary of shoplifters.
Are you still going ship items from this booth , you know a lot of people live in other states and other country's
Busy booth too overwhelming.
Too much stuff in the busy booth
Leave room for people to move around without knocking things over like plus size people no stickers sterling silver jewelry,in season items
Most of them are too busy
