Flea Market Booth Display Tips: Avoid Display Tables
I love getting creative with this topic! In my own humble opinion, tables are a hindrance. They’re big and bulky, cut off traffic flow, and honestly are just plain boring.
It's great how this vendor gets creative with her space. She draws attention with her fun colors as well as uses a cute little flower cart to set smaller products on. She has converted a ladder into a shelving display and creates height with her Tiki umbrella!
I love when people use what they already have.
Oh, you have a cute little gossip benches you’re selling?… why not use that to display other products. What, your ladder is just the right size to hang items from, and you have a beautiful shabby chic hutch?…. Yes, yes, yes! Use it!
If you have the option to hang things, do it. Hang from the ceiling, hang from the wall, hang it from your neck - if you’re selling scarves or necklaces, obviously.
I’ve seen people get REAL creative with this.
To get you started, here’s a list of props/things/items to consider using to get your wheels turning:
- Ladders (yes, it’s been done before… but it’s a start for beginners)
- Stackable wood boxes/crates
- Standing pegboard
- Bookshelves
- Benches
- PVC Pipe
- Shutters
- Doors
- Old Luggage
- Mannequins
- Hammocks
- Rugs (I threw this one in just because they’re comfy and inviting!)
… the list could go on and on… but I hope I’ve at least sparked and little bit of a creative thought cloud for you, and have you thinking in new and different ways.
The important thing is your drawing people into your booth. Grab their attention with the promise of a deal while also up-selling your current items... and keep them in your booth by allowing enough comfortable space for customers to walk and move freely.
If you haven't taken the leap into starting your own flea market business, let me persuade you a little more. Check out this blog!
