Flea Market Product Ideas And Drop Shipping

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

If you would like to take a stab at the flea market it may take a few tries to find your niche when competing with other vendors. If you break it down most vendors at flea markets are selling a lot of martial arts weapons, knives, statues, dragons etc. Then you have the flip side of tools, purses, toys etc.

Think of it this way. You can do quite well at the flea market by standing out. The way to do so is to find something to sell that isn’t in the norm for flea markets. While spending some time at the Flea market in Mobile Alabama I noticed one vendor had gaggles of people waiting around his booth. I went closer to get a peek of all the commotion. This guy had his Laptop setup with bluetooth technology to the internet and was making engraved dog tags. What a brilliant idea, and an excellent way to stand out. I met with him toward the end of the day. He noted that he sells out of product every day. He sells out of hardware for dog tag necklaces. But continues to complete sales.

How? Remember he is hooked up to the internet right? He places orders for customers and mails their engraved dog tags, or key-chains right to their door! Low over-head and a strong demand not to mention his booth stands out among the other typical booths.

Another vendor at this flea market was tucked in the back but had a lot of customers there too. This guy was going to Thrift stores and purchasing computers. He would then fix them up and sell a complete system for $150. I asked how many he would do in a month. He completed an average of 30 sales per month selling repaired computers that were out of date compared to the technology rate these days. Hey aren’t people going to flea markets to find something unique, for a reasonable price?

Here’s a great Idea! Purchase something to display at your booth. This could be anything from motorcycle luggage to household appliances. Let the customers get a good look at your item. If they want one all you have to do is provide them with your very own order form! Provide a receipt and a copy of their order for their purchase and drop-ship the product to their house just like the man selling engraved dog tags! Again low overhead and all you need to do is have a few samples at your booth. It’s almost like being a door to door salesperson only the difference is customers come to you!
