Quick Answers
The questions we’re asked most about running a stall and planning a market, answered directly.
06 Q&A
How much budget do I need for my first stall?
The basic cost for a first stall runs about NT$5,000–15,000, covering the stall fee (NT$1,000–3,000), basic gear (folding table, canvas tent, drapes), and your first batch of inventory. We recommend renting equipment rather than buying at first, so your budget can go toward product quality.
How do I choose the right market venue to join?
Three key indicators for choosing a market: ① whether the crowd matches your product positioning, ② foot traffic and competition density per stall, and ③ the stall fee relative to expected revenue. We recommend visiting a few times as a guest before signing up.
What are the most common mistakes in stall layout?
The three most common mistakes: ① overcrowding your display so people don’t know where to look, ② lacking clear brand identity, so your stall gets lost in the crowd, and ③ ignoring “height and layering,” which makes your stall invisible from a distance.
How much budget do I need to host a mid-sized market?
A mid-sized market (50–100 stalls, outdoors, single day) needs an organizing budget of about NT$150,000–250,000, covering venue rental, marketing, equipment setup, staffing, and incidentals.
What's the most important follow-up after a market ends?
The three most important things after packing up: ① record the day’s sales data, ② follow up with potential customers who left their IG or LINE on-site, and ③ turn the photos and footage you took into social media content.
