Baby swing and I had "paused" flea-ing for a while due to our exams. Our last flea was the Mille Fleur at Clarke Quay where it was a very competitive bazaar. Only one bulb worked for our lightings that day :( whereas every other accessories vendors had their accessories shone with beautiful lightning. The rental was a freaking almost $300! Lucky we managed to share our stall with another vendor selling Apparels if not we had suffered super heavy loss!
This time around we had our first flea after this two months of hiatus at new*SCAPE building right beside Cineleisure. It is an awesome place for youngsters to chill, hang out and spend time at. However it was still a new building with the most areas still under contruction so sales wasn't really good. Espcially on Sunday where there is lesser crowd in town. Lucky there was another flea going on opposite on Saturday which brought sales to our biz.
However, Baby Swing and I have decided to take on the flea again this weekend. But this time round, we are getting two stalls per day. It's a rather big investment because at the end of the flea, we might not even earn back the rental. Organizers are improving on the publicity of this event and hope it creates wider awareness to the people in town that a flea is going on in this new building.
One heart wrecking thought, TRANSPORTATION!
Previous Saturday, Baby Swing decided to drive to flea &guess what ? The parking fees amounted to $18.90 which was already considered cheap in Somerset area. We had to get my parents to come drive us to and home on Sunday.
I guess business is really hardddd now. Swing and I are still working on our wholesale section. Hope everything goes well.
PS I love u
