I participated in a Holiday Market event with the Shoppers Market this past holiday season. The market was fun, very well ran and organized.  My sales expectations were met very early in the event.  I will definitely be participating in future events hosted by The Shoppers Market.

Honestly, from the very first event I have done with the Shoppers Market, I knew this opportunity would be special. It has done great things for my business in my local area. Their event is always advertised well and the location is always great! I have gained new clientele and my return clients love to come out see what’s new. It’s given me a chance to connect with my audience which I LOVE!! I highly recommend this group to other vendors that I meet while doing other pop ups. They are a great group to work with and I would recommend them to anyone.

Always make my registration fee back and then some sales wise, have made many new customers, and the networking with other vendors is an added bonus. My only complaint is they need to do more events!

Why Choose Our Market?

We launched our markets to provide sales and marketing opportunities to small and medium-sized businesses. We chose malls as our choice venue as thousands of brands trust malls to promote and sell their products. Malls already have effective marketing in place to promote their centers on behalf of their tenants. Built-in traffic already in place along with our marketing efforts to reach shoppers within a 15-mile radius of the mall via Facebook and Instagram gives our vendors the same opportunity to sell to the same shoppers as large retail brands.

Tips To Be a Successful Vendor

  • Be approachable and engage with shoppers as they walk by or approach your booth. Vendors who greet shoppers as they walk by tend to be more successful.
  • Offer a giveaway item or have an enter-to-win prize giveaway. This is a great way to increase traffic to your booth and get leads at the same time.
  • Price your products accordingly. Make sure your prices are visible and marked accordingly. Do your homework on the latest trends and what shoppers are looking for.
  • Offer sales or buy one get one specials. Shoppers love deals, especially mall shoppers. Offering sale specials or special offers on the day of the market is a great way to get traffic to your booth and increase revenue.
  • Have business cards or other marketing materials to give away to shoppers who approach your booth. While a shopper may not make an immediate purchase at your booth, they may be interested in placing an order at a later date or know someone who could benefit from your products or services. Make it easy for them to be able to reach you via phone, website, or email.

  • We do not guarantee or make any promises regarding vendor sales or mall traffic. Sales vary by vendor product and shopper demand. The more a vendor engages with shoppers, the better a vendor tends to do results-wise.
  • Your booth space must be kept neat and tidy at all times. No storage bins, wagons, carts, dollies, boxes, or excess inventory can be seen in open sight by shoppers. These items must be completely under your table or transported back to your vehicle before the start of the market.
  • Vendors must be set up and in place 15 minutes before the mall opening. Vendors who are not set up and in place 15 minutes before the mall opening will not be able to participate and no refund will be given.
