Venue – My Other Kitchen
9 Nicholson Street, Bentleigh

http://www.myotherkitchen.com.au/index.php

In my role as a trainer and food consultant, I am always telling my clients to consider the customer, what they need, see, feel and experience when they come into contact with you and your product. Think about how comfortable it would be for them to be in the space available whilst they were being served. I often tell a stallholder to close their eyes and picture 20 people in and around their stall trying to touch, feel, experience and buy the product.

There are many brands and styles are around so I spent some quality time with Google, and then ‘phoned a few different companies and looked more closely into six of the brands available. As a stallholder, you need to pay particular attention to how easy they are to open, carry, clean, erect in all weather conditions as well how they enhance the design and presentation of the stall. On my travels around the Australian markets I have noticed that many markets have different size plots and different set ups, so on top of buying a gazebo to suit your product display, you also need to consider which markets you are going to be selling at.

To get a better idea of what products are available, I spoke with Katrina at Gazebos Australia, and she supplied the following advice when selecting a Gazebo for your market stall.

The OZtrail Deluxe Gazebo is surely a contender for the “Best Market Stall Stand” title. The simple evidence is that you cast your eyes around at any of the local farmers’ markets, flea markets or even at a sporting event you’ll see the OZtrail logo in the corner of a lot of blue canopies. OZtrail sell, literally, tens of thousands of the Deluxe Gazebos every year. So why is it so popular?

Quality Materials Last Longer

All OZtrail products have a 1 year warranty on the fabric, walls, frame, legs, nuts and bolts – everything! They offer such a generous warranty because they use a thicker grade steel in the frame and legs and a heavier canopy material than other gazebo ranges and brands. There is a new (released in 2012) type of curved ‘hip & ridge’ system that runs along the sides and up the middle of the frame. This type of engineering provides better overall strength and stability, especially during inclement weather. The polyester canopy is rated 300D. This means it’s thicker than many other brands of market stalls so you block out more UV rays (keeps you cooler and less sunburnt) and generally lasts longer. So the manufacturer is confident enough in their product that even if you use it every single weekend at your market stall it will last the distance. Other brands such as the Coleman Gazebo are the same price, but don’t have the same reputation for creating a durable product. Check the warranty first before you buy, and make sure it is valid in Australia.

 Good Price, Good Quality

The OZtrail Deluxe gazebo currently retails for around $299.00, although you can buy it here for $199.00. If you hunt around online you can get it from as low as $199.00. Online distributors such as Gazebos Australia who specialise in just selling gazebos are able to buy in bulk, package and ship efficiently and therefore pass the lower cost onto market stall holders.

So $199.00 for a portable canopy that can last you for years is not relatively expensive. If you have a thriving market stall with good profit margins on your products then you could make that cost back in a day. $199.00 is far less than setting up a retail shop, and that’s the beauty of having a weekend market stall. Less trouble, less fuss, more fun!.

Easy Access To Spare Parts & Accessories

Even if a part does break it can be easily replaced. OZtrail gazebos are designed in such a way that you can easily replace parts. The same cannot always be said for other brands. You can buy a new canopy (in a selection of colours), new legs and new arm struts. Being an Australian company they’re accountable to their Australian customers. They are keen to build a good reputation, and fan base!

Two gazebos accessories that I think are really useful are the gutters and the banner kits. Obviously the gutter system helps you channel rainwater away from you, your products and your customers. Very handy! And the banner kits are easy to attach, can be screenprinted with your store name and logo, and help you stand out from the crowd. Not many other brands also offer these accessories.

Perfection?

Not quite! Ideally it would be slightly easier to erect, but at the moment it takes two people to put it up. It is still easy to do, but your neighbourly stall holder might help you if they’re not too busy. Despite requiring two people at least it only takes 3 minutes.

If it has been raining heavily (which will happen on weekends!!) the water may pond on an edge of the canopy. You can use the gutter system to draw most of the water away, but the canopy may occasionally still collect some water. Just don’t flick the excess on your customers!!

I’m not sure if you would consider this a drawback but they’re not designed as a permanent structure. This means you need to fold and pack it away each day after use.

At the end of the day …

I think it comes down to word of mouth. Weekend stall holders have obviously asked around and cased out what their competitors use. Everyone just seems to be using the OZtrail Deluxe Gazebo. It’s a good size, inexpensive, durable, has a good warranty and is easily available.

Bake It Bottle It Sell It Market Reviews have arrived. We are planning to build up a nationwide database of all of the best Australian Farmer’s and Artisan’s Markets as rated by you, the consumer. With so many Markets in Australia every week, we want to know which ones are the best in terms of accessibility, convenience, range and quality of produce on offer, and of course value for money.

A good Market keeps the customers coming back for more with a welcoming atmosphere, and provides access to quality merchandise direct from the producer. Stallholders and customers alike will be able to use our database to look for recommendations on where’s best to buy or sell produce.

To do this we need your input. We want to know which ones you think are worth visiting. Next time you visit a Market, simply take a couple of pictures on your phone, and send them to us along with the completed Market Review form you can find at the link below. Remember, we only want positive reviews.
