Tips and Tricks to sell successfully

Sell your way to success

  • Visit the property
    If you've never sold at the Marketplace, visit the property first to see what products are currently for sale and what items have the least amount of competition.

  • Manage your display
    Have unique signage that clearly explains your business. Make your inventory stand out by using a table cloth or display racks/cases and change your display and/or offerings every few weeks.

  • Try it for a month
    If you're new to our market, give it a try for a month. Flea markets thrive on beautiful days and if no other events are going on in Butler or the surrounding area. Businesses ebb and flow, don't give up too quickly.

  • Use social media
    Use social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) to amplify your reach, display your inventory and attract customers.

  •  Engage customers
    The market is home to many merchants all vying for market share. Stand out by understanding your potential customer's needs to create a value greater than your asking price.

  • Learn your buyers
    Observe what the Marketplace visitors are generally attracted to. Which booths do they linger at, to whom do they speak? Capitalism is beautifully simple, break it down, adapt and evolve.

  • Cross-promote
    Find ways to collaborate with other sellers. If you sell children's clothing, ask a “neighbor” who sells children's toys to recommend your products in exchange for promoting his/hers.
