Funky Alternnative Market Stalls anyone?

[keepitsecret]

Good evening everyone,

My Partner and I are soon going into business and we have noticed that a lot of custom we have got in the past is Ironically at Car Boot sales!

Any hows.. We are looking for a fresh,Funky eye-catching stall to pull the punters in.. (Ideally a Collapsible style) Our Products have a very niche market so we like to stand out from the rest with there tarpaulin and crock grips and box steel stall setup. (no offense to anyone who has them) its just not our style.

anyone have any ideas where to look or have come across anything they think we should look at?

Cheers.

I'm interested in something like this for Trade Fair / Music Festivals.
Some people had custom gazebo's - custom size to suit pitch etc and also custom print/colours

Custom made pop up stall would be ideal, but get a quality version, the cheap ones will collapse in minutes, normally whilst you are trading.

Thanks MH1, I have been looking at them for some time.

Ideally (I don't think it exists to be honest, would love to be proved wrong so I could buy one!) but...

Would be to have a complete foldaway style Market stall unit. to include Canopy, frame for stall, stall top and many other features. A bit like the pop-up garden marquees you can get, easy and simple to erect but has something about it.. Only way I can describe What I would love is something like a trailer than transforms like a transformer into a amazing style/concept market stall.

Maybe I should just design some, he-he.

Zap do some of the best.
Not cheap, I looked about 5 years ago and entry level was around £800 if I remember right.

Thanks for your comments dawg.

Just to let you know how we like to stand out from the crowd. We're in talks in purchasing one of these..

talk about standing out in a crowd!

We have big ideas for it.. first its being re-sprayed and vinyl logo.

 

OMG, that is hideous

I thought my horrible green van was bad, but that is worse.

Though one thing I'll say.... the horrible green van was the best local marketing trick I have ever pulled. It's bad enough to make people look at it, and that was my plan

Good luck, and please post a pic of that monstrosity when you have it sprayed & lettered.

I assume that vehicle comes with postman pat uniforms as well? LOL

ebay has several suitable trailers on most weeks.

My local garage has one with its logo on as well.

I thought these bubble domes were a funky concept. There's lots of different styles that you can choose from http://www.shelter-systems.com/playadomes.html

How about a large banner or flag on the side of the stall to make it a fresh, funky eye catching stall to pull the punters in.

something like the banners or flags on here http://www.thesign-shop.co.uk/products_banners.html

Just like with website design, funky eyecandy designs are great, but punter usability should trump that: the aim is to make wonga, no?
Those bubble domes don't allow access. Does the Fisher Price van have the room for enough stock? Important considerations that will impact takings more than pretty-pretty.

Hi guys,

thanks for everyones advice on different bits 'n pieces.

Will be looking into the links given, many thanks.. and yeah, we're still in talks on the Little Nissan Van. Man reason for it was a head turner, but you are correct on how much if can carry, might be a little small and bottle-neck any chance of expansion in the future. There are other quirky vans out there which we are looking at, Mostly Jap Imports it must be said (I love there crazy ideas haha)
