BLUE SUBUR MARKET - SITGES 10 & 11 of February 2018
AT LOS JARDINES DE RETIRO - SITGES
THE ATMOSPHEREThe theme of the market was Flow Creativo / Creative Flow and that was obvious with all
the creative workshops and stalls with creative artisan products. We had quite some sunny hours, which brought a great atmosphere to the market. Unfortunately the unexpected rain showers also changed that atmosphere abruptly. But all over, despite the rainy and windy moments -this Blue Subur Market was a buzzing & bubbling event.

OUR STALLWe had the same location as the last time, which gave us the opportunity to let the fishes fly in the wind. We brought the shell hangers and chimes, India bags, bamboo products, BitsyBags, crystal pendant necklaces, the Koinobori fishes etc.
The best moments we had with our returning customers and the fanclub of kids. Never a dull moment and a lot of loving moments. For the first time we could accept payments with credit card and that makes a difference too. (Photo credit: Blue Subur Market |
BESTSELLER PRODUCTSAlso this market the Koinobori fishes were
the most popular product, with as good second and third, the crystal necklaces from India and the Eco products (Bamboo straws and toothbrushes and the BitsyBags). Also this was a market with many returning customers, visiting special friends and some new customers who bought many of the Thai Buddhist amulets and will for sure come again to buy more.

BLUE SUBUR MARKET - SITGES 17 & 18 OF JANUARY 2018
AT LOS JARDINES DE RETIRO - SITGES
THE ATMOSPHEREThe theme was Vintage & Flea market and that gave a nice feeling of hustle and bustle to the market. The event really starts to establish itself as a monthly returning market, no matter rain or shine, there is a market. That is a professional approach and it was sad to see that some stall holders canceled last minute due to the expected rain. But we were there and again the atmosphere was great and it shows the market has potential.

OUR STALLIt starts to be easier to set up the stall and hang everything. Since we expected a lot of rain, we were prepared and ready with the tent sides and many plastic sheets to quickly cover the products. Lucky for us the rain only started at 20h00 Saturday night.
And unfortunately I got sick in the night of Saturday on Sunday and had to cancel for the 2nd day at the market. 2 other ladies could use our stall and sadly for us, we had to skip. (Photo credit: Laura Henderson) |
BESTSELLER PRODUCTSOur "bestseller per market" starts to be the exclusive "bestseller of the YEAR", again the Koi
fishes were the number one product. The new Koinobori fishes stock is now half of what it was before the weekend and that only in one day. A good second and third were the Eco products like the toothbrushes, BitsyBags and third the Buddhist jewelry and decoration. And of course the 1 euro box was a big hit.

BLUE SUBUR MARKET - SITGES 13 & 14 OF JANUARY 2018
AT LOS JARDINES DE RETIRO - SITGES
THE ATMOSPHERE"Happy body & Soul" theme this month, which
you could find back in the stalls, workshops, music, performances. One big feeling of wellness. Lots of visitors, not a lot of buyers. January is the slow month after all the festivities. But a successful market with great vibes, due to all the workshops & music on the stage. (Photo credit: Blue Subur Market) |
OUR STALLWe had a nice corner location, with next to us a
stall with massages, workshops, tea and incense. As January is also the month of SALE, we also made 2 boxes with Sale items for 1 and 5 Euros. This really was a big success. The Koinobori fishes started sliding on a line and that gave us the idea to hang them there on purpose for a better effect. And it worked. (Photo credit: Sun Sand Salt) |
BESTSELLER PRODUCTSBestseller of this market was without a doubt
the Koinobori fish, We have to order new stock. And the 2 boxes with Sale products made our weekend successful. Also the Ecovela and the big wooden plate with Buddhist amulets and little treasures did very well. (Photo credit: Sun Sand Salt supplier) |
BLUE SUBUR MARKET - SITGES 8, 9 & 10 OF DECEMBER 2017
AT LOS JARDINES DE RETIRO - SITGES
THE ATMOSPHERE"Christmas / Navidad" edition. And with an
extra day! Due to the long holiday weekend, the Friday was added. Great atmosphere with a lot of Christmas music, many stalls with gifts and a lot of visitors. The weekend for Christmas shopping. Nice neighbour stalls and I enjoyed the weekend. (Photo credit: Sun Sand Salt) |
OUR STALLWe made a change in the stall decoration and
left all the bright colors home. Instead we bought a lot of white, black, grey, silver Christmas stars and hangers, to decorate and sell to customers. We had some candy for the kids, small gifts and Christmas bags for the customers. Jazzy Christmas music, mulled wine and nice live music were the finishing touch. (Photo credit: visitsitges.com) |
BESTSELLER PRODUCTSThe bestseller products were very clear from
day 1. We launched the bamboo toothbrushes and Bamboo drink straws and we sold out all our stock between the 3 days, we just have some straws left. Also the Christmas decoration sold out, the bottle Fairy lights, many socks (Alpaca and wine text) and many jewelry. Successful weekend for income and promotion of the business.

ELECTRO PICA PICA - Vilanova 14 OF OCT. 2017
AT LA DAURADA BEACHCLUB - VILANOVA
THE ATMOSPHEREThe most stunning location, beach, sea,
nicely trendy decorated Beachclub / Restaurant. Real "dance atmosphere with a lot of young people. There were only 5 stalls, to try-out if this would work out with a Hippie Market. That was not really the case, but this location has potential. And it is a nice place for a drink or meal, I love it. (Photo credit: La Daurada) |
OUR STALLWe brought our full set-up, even though it
was a try-out event. We knew that they expected many visitors and there were, it was one big party. Not really a good event for a Hippie market, but we enjoyed the location and to do something else. This venue would be great to organise a market only. And thanks to my mother, who came with me to support and keep me company. xx (Photo credit: Sun Sand Salt) |
BESTSELLER PRODUCTSWe did not sell a lot of products, it was obvious
that the people came here to dance, have a good time and did not have a lot of money to spend, or at least not for things of the market. A lot of young people. But it was a good opportunity to show ourselves at a beach event, in a new venue, with other public. A good way to try out. Anyway, what we sold best, were mainly surf / boho bracelets.

BLUE SUBUR MARKET - SITGES 31 OF Sep. & 1 OF OCT. 2017
AT LOS JARDINES DE RETIRO - SITGES
THE ATMOSPHERESunny, bright, easy going weekend. Quite
some visitors, great live music, kids entertainment, tapas and drinks, a lot of kids and dogs again. A good venue to come with the whole family and catch up with friends, while checking the stalls, drinking a glass of wine, ordering some pica pica and listening to or dancing on the music. (Photo credit: Blue Subur Market) |
OUR STALLWe had a corner stall in the middle area of
the Retiro gardens square, connected with a nice neighbour selling stunning bags and we were having a lot of public. It was a nice weekend, with as highlight the visit of Gina, my market partner at La Sinia, who will be moving back to the UK for a while. I will miss her. But it t is great to be part of the Blue Subur family. (Photo credit: Blue Subur Market) |
BESTSELLER PRODUCTFor the first time we sold many Shell hangers,
even in the last 10 minutes of packing up. They make a happy sound, look special and give a summer feeling. Also the vintage India bags sold well together with the crystal necklaces from India. A very successful weekend for sales and promotion. (Photo credit: Sun Sand Salt) |
BLUE SUBUR MARKET - SITGES 9 & 10 OF SEPTEMBER 2017
AT LOS JARDINES DE RETIRO - SITGES
THE ATMOSPHEREFor the first time the Blue Subur Market
at Retiro gardens in Sitges and no longer at the Hotel 1883. To be honest, I had to adjust, the hotel garden was cozy, romantic, magic and lush. This is a new place with a lot of concrete and bricks, less green, less atmosphere. So the atmosphere has to be created. It will work out. Blue Subur wants to grow, then this is the place. (Photo credit: Sun Sand Salt) |
OUR STALLOur location was good, in the eye and path
of the visitors, but.....they all made a small turn and while walking they moved away from the stall. It is funny how dynamics of a market work. sometimes I even think that people are scared to approach, nervous to take time to watch or talk. We have to invest, be consistent and keep repeating. Even when it rains,like this weekend :-) SUN SAND SALT is part of the Blue Subur Family. And this is a new start in a new venue. (Photo credit: Blue Subur Market) |
BESTSELLER PRODUCTSThis market is an amazing event for kids (and
their parents). There is kids entertainment with a supervisor, live music, workshops, food & drinks, market and a lot of fun time for the whole family. What we sold most this weekend, were the Koinobori fishes from Japan. And we sold them mainly to all boys between 4 and 65 years old. Amazing and funny to see the attraction. You can see them approaching the stall and checking on the fishes. (Photo credit: Sun Sand Salt supplier) |
