Why sell your wares at a Bonkers Betty's Bizarre Bazaar?
1. Our table price has been decided based on our venue costs and a healthy advertising budget for each event. Advertising cannot guarantee footfall but one thing is certain there is more likely to be footfall at an advertised fair than a fair with a lower table fee that doesn't advertise. In addition to media advertising and persistent face book activity there is a leaflet drop in the area and the venue is highly decorated externally for the event.
2. We aim not have a crossover of crafts. Jewellery is the exception as there are so many different types. We have two regular jewellery tables one is a silver smith and one is a precious gems jeweller. Another table may have a small element of jewellery (with prior consent only) as part of their display as long as it is significantly different to our two main jewellery sellers and is not the main theme of their table . We will run the fair at reduced capacity rather than taking in a duplicate table. Most other crafts are black and white - we have it or we need it - no duplications. Duplicate tables are unfair to vendors and reduce variety for our shoppers which is very important to us.
3. We insist on hand made all the way as this also provides the shoppers with a variety that they cannot get elsewhere and gives our talented makers and producers somewhere to display their wares with like minded others.
4. All of our Vendors for each event will be advertised along with their wares prior to the event taking place on many occasions.
5. As crafters running a Market for other crafters we have picked up little do's and don't's from other fairs.
6. As our name would suggest we do like to be a little different so in addition to live music we are always on the look out for a little quirky theme or competition for each event just to add a little fun.
7. We have a beautiful venue at Fortwilliam and Macrory Presbyterian Church. It is on the main Antrim Road and is easily accessible for many as well as being situated in a large residential area. We are starting to arrange our second event now so anyone who was at the first event, vendors and shoppers, and would like to leave us a review we have this facility now. Just under our banner at the top of the page. All of your comments will be taken onboard and used to tweak our fair where necessary. Hope to have you along as a vendor or shopper soon.
