My husband and I are thinking about getting a booth in a flea market. What do you think of selling...?

WE want to market travel size premium men's and women's personal products from brands such as Caswell Massey. THe idea being that people travel alot for different reasons and these items are the perfect size and would make great gifts- WE'd make pretty baskets or sell them individually. Hostesses and hosts can buy them to put in their guest rooms. The ideas are endless. We'd only start out with about 15 products for men and 15 for women- WE'll try to find just for kids. Do you think it would work? would people going to flea markets buy? Each one would be $1.00- (can't find our brands in thoe sizes in CVS) and the most expensive gift baskets would be $20.00- the average being $10.00-$12.00. Good idea? Poor idea?

I'm a sucker for personal care products........most women and an increasing number of men are! I do shows and have a website that I sell from. Mix up the brands a bit....I'm a soap enthusiast. In fact, I've begun learning how to make soap as I'm on a mission to make my perfect bar of it. Anyway, your idea has huge appeal and the price range is perfect. You've got some great venues coming up on your area, I'll bet. See if you can get your hands on a list of Christmas shows in your area. I'll bet stocking stuffer sizes as well as the larger gift basket sizes will fly off the table! Hot tip though, and it was discussed among several of my girlfriends......nobody wants another basket to dispose of. Get creative with contemporary packaging concepts or even decorative chinese takeout containers, cosmetic bags, canvas on metal frame mini-storage baskets......something that can be assimilated into the consumer's life. You could offer the customer a choice of packaging or a "pick x number and the container it goes in" type of thing.......eek! I've gotten off the beaten path. I think it would be a great idea and for more inspiration for what you're doing, take a look at the Burt's Bees displays in your area.......I've seriously bought every single pouch full of stuff they've ever offered. Love those things! ALL of my chick friends have too.
