We Started off with Mega Flea, and now back to Mega Flea.
Have you heard of Singapore’s Largest indoor flea market, The Mega Flea Market? Time flies, it’s been 2 years since we organized a flea of that kind of crazy magnitude. More than 200 stalls gathered in a convention hall creating a marketplace setting. More than 100,000 kinds of product and designs. Sellers vs Buyers. Can you imagine…
Well, we are really glad to announce that we are bringing MEGA FLEA back!
Our Track Records for The Mega Flea Market
– held in Singapore Expo Convention Hall for 7 times (mega flea 1 – 7).
– held in Suntec Convention Centre big hall for 5 times (mega flea 8 – 12),
Each time, we managed to bring in more than 200 stalls and 20,000 shoppers at least (30k is the average).. Our Advertising tapped on traditional and modern advertising platform. (eg. TV, Radio, Newspapers, Facebook, and more)
This is an event highly anticipated by both shoppers and sellers. This is the sort of event that vendors love to setup their stall in because of the generous amount of space we give to each stall, the high traffic flow and of course, the strong buying power of the shoppers (everyone been waiting for this time to shop just in mega flea). In fact, we have many shoppers and vendors asking us when is the upcoming Mega Flea. Now is the time, to bring it back again.
We have organized this event in the East (Expo), then we moved to Central (Suntec). Now we are organizing in the West (Bigbox being directly beside Jurong East MRT Station).
This event, will be advertised on Television (Channel U, and Suria) during PEAK and Off-Peak hours, Radio, Newspapers and Facebook advertising etc. We are going BIG on advertising!
More details below…
Event Details
Dates: 16th – 18th September 2016 (Fri – Sun)
Time: 11am – 10pm
Venue: Big Box Convention Centre (Level 3)
Big Box is a 3 storey mall that sells electronics, grocery and furniture. There is a mega size convention centre (7,000sqm) at level 3 where we are located.
Big Box is also directly linked, by a bridge, to Jurong East MRT Station.
Target Shoppers: Office Crowd (during Fri), Families, Youngsters, of the 4 ethnicity (Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasians). on all days
Stall Details
Rental: $250 (3 days) + 3% GTO
The 3% GTO (Gross Turnover) means that you have to contribute 3% of your sales to Bigbox. This is a scheme that we have to adopt as it’s Bigbox policy to take partial revenue from a vendor’s sale. Cashier Counters will be set up in various locations for the shoppers. This amount is on top of the rental you have to pay as well.
AND because there is this GTO scheme, we have reduced our rental rate greatly. An outright rental for an event like this would easily be around $1,000. In a way, the reduction in rental kind of offsets the GTO you’ll need to pay. It’s worth it, and I believe everyone will benefit from this reduced rental scheme as it reduces your fixed cost risk.
Benefits for having a cashier counter
Customers may pay using their CREDIT CARD / DEBIT CARD on our cashier counters. There is no need for you to bring your terminal.
And you know, there is no loss in sales due to having not enough cash. A common problem in flea market. Customers may now pay either with their card or cash
You absolutely do not have to worry about cash or spare change at all. Leave the troublesome part of money transaction to us. You just need to bring your products there, setup, and sell.
We will return you your sales (minus off GTO), 2 weeks after the event, in the form of a cheque.
