Find Your Local Weekend Markets

How do I find My Local Weekend Markets?

Picture this – you’re on holiday, it’s the weekend and you feel like a stroll through the local markets – but where are they and when are they on - and how the hell do I get there?

Or, Picture this – You’ve bought a cool skirt from the lady at the markets but you’ve moved away and you can’t get in touch with her... How do you find her - you've typed everything you can think of into Google and you still haven't found her?

Or – There’s a tour bus coming through the region on a particular day and they would like the see what is on in the area for the tourists to experience.  Are your markets listed - does a prospective bus tour even know your event exists?

Three common nightmare scenarios in Markets and Stallholder land – where a great loyal customer can disappear through not being able to keep in touch with you and your market stall.  We can help me find my local weekend markets.

Dan Gilbert shares recent research on a phenomenon he calls the "end of history illusion," where we somehow imagine that the person we are right now is the person we'll be for the rest of time. Hint: that's not the case. The Future Self Visualisation This  Future Self Visualization  is based on a the actual hypnotherapy script I use for real one to one personal coaching sessions.  It's a powerful awareness raising exercise and brings to light the impact our current life choices (and lack of clarity and p...

Stallholders Help Getting Found Online

  Stallholders at Australian Markets Invited To Join our Directory!   W elcome to the world of being a stallholder at a Local Australian Marke t! Local Markets have taken off over the past decade as people like you seek to make a meaningful connection with place, process and product. No longer is it good enough to present food of questionable origin, or buy clothes produced in sweatshops and not feel as you are as much a part of the problem for supporting it with your purchase. P eople have wised up to the idea that wearing a new $4 shirt means someone, somewhere in the world, has had to work by hand on that item in appalling conditions for as low as $1 for a 14 hour day. Going to the markets offers you the opportunity to connect with the producer of the item, and buying from the markets acts directly in supporting the stallholder to continue her handmade work. W hat's more - you can interact directly with manufacturer or artist and perhaps order a custo...

Handmade Cake Stands using upcycled plates and saucers This could be the start of something beautiful - or it could be a confusing mess - so let people know who you are as succinctly and to the point as possible. Here's some suggestions from findhandmade.com.au Be Honest about Yourself In the handmade sector people love quirky- right? It's part of the reason we're all here looking for something a bit left field and not traipsing up and down the aisles at target. So be yourself and just tell your story – chances are what you do will be quite distinctive and set you apart from even the closest competitor in your niche.
