Sun Sand Salt  MARKET stand

BLUE SUBUR MARKET - SITGES   10 & 11 of February 2018

​AT LOS JARDINES DE RETIRO -  SITGES

Picture

THE ATMOSPHERE

​The 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 STALL

​We 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.

BESTSELLER PRODUCTS

Also 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
​

Picture

THE ATMOSPHERE

The 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 STALL

It 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.

BESTSELLER PRODUCTS

Our "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

Picture

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)
Picture

OUR STALL

We 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.

Picture

BESTSELLER PRODUCTS

Bestseller 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.

BLUE SUBUR MARKET - SITGES   8, 9 & 10 OF DECEMBER 2017

AT LOS JARDINES DE RETIRO -  SITGES

Picture

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)
Picture

OUR STALL

We 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.

BESTSELLER PRODUCTS

The 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

Picture

THE ATMOSPHERE

The 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)
Picture

OUR STALL

We 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

Picture

BESTSELLER PRODUCTS

We 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

Picture

THE ATMOSPHERE

Sunny, 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)
Picture

OUR STALL

We 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.

Picture

BESTSELLER PRODUCT

For 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

Picture

THE ATMOSPHERE

For 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)
Picture

OUR STALL

Our 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.

Picture

BESTSELLER PRODUCTS

This 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.
