Flea Market Booth Decorating Ideas

The setup of your flea market booth can make or break your success. After all, if your booth has no visual appeal, you can't expect people to stop and browse your wares. Visual appeal is especially important for crowded markets since you are competing with other vendors who have attractive displays and maybe even similar items.

When planning your booth setup, you should take into account the following tips to help maximize your success at flea market events.

It's easy to setup your booth and judge how it looks by standing directly in front of it, but it's important to remember that your potential customers won't be viewing your booth from a head on perspective. By recognizing which way traffic flows you can pick the best angles to display your goods so it catches the eyes of passersby.

You won't be able to prominently display every item that you bring, so you want to make sure your best and most attractive items have the spotlight to entice potential customers. These are the pieces that will attract customers to your booth where you can encourage them to browse your total inventory. You want your booth to be as eye-catching as possible so customers patronize your booth before they spend time and money at other vendors.

Neatness is a very important element for a successful flea market event. You want to make sure that your space is organized so customers can see as many of your products as possible and easily browse your offerings. Customers don't want to dig through piles of unorganized items to try to find an item they'll like. Customers appreciate the time and effort you put into your booth display, and they will return that energy by spending more time at your booth.

Even though the purpose of a flea market is to sell as many of your items as possible, you want to make sure you bring enough stock for your booth to appear somewhat fully stocked well into the day. Empty tables and shelves are not an attractive sight and makes your booth look like you're shutting down for the day. Customers also don't want to feel like they're stuck buying the "leftover" items, the picked through items no-one wanted. Your customers want to make sure they are getting the highest quality products, so always bring more stock than you plan to sell so you can keep your booth stocked and looking attractive.

Props are a great way to call attention to your booth and specific items. Bringing items such as furniture and other accents can help you setup your display and show customers how to use your items. Do you sell art prints? Frame one and hang it from a faux wall! Do you sell rugs? Organize tables and chairs around them to show how they would look in a living or bedroom. The possibilities are endless, but it's your job to leave nothing up to the imagination and give the customer inspiration and encouragement to buy your items.
