A TRIP TO THE NIGHT MARKETS – EXPERIENCE THE NEW DIGITAL SHOPPING PARADISE

Australian shoppers are familiar with market precincts and love the excitement of visiting the markets to purchase many of their needs. Shoppers will have no doubts what the Night Markets offer. When the discerning shopper looks for quality, variety and affordability on-line that means the Night Markets.

About:

The Night Markets is an e-commerce site designed specifically for all Australian Retailers and shoppers. Online sales are increasing every year. Future generations will rely on the Internet to purchase all their goods and services. Presently Aussie retailers suffer from ever increasing overseas competition. Local buyers now think nothing of purchasing from overseas sites. Unless this can be combated we will see more and more local retailers just close their doors. Just because a retailer develops a web site to complement their bricks and mortar store it will not ensure success. Most retailers who have gone down this road have had minimal to no success with their online sites. Just “being there” will not guarantee success. Any successful site must create its own space and image. It is with all this in mind that all retailers will benefit from a “store” or “market stall” in the Night Markets online precinct.

Whether an add-on to your current retail outlet or the perfect home based business the Night Markets is the outlet to generate sales volume via our 3 level sales platform and policies that will ensure that all our stallholders are benefited from a "level playing field".

How will the Night Markets work for me?

The three medium sales policies will ensure that you always have your items before the public. The sales mediums are:

For fast, mass volume sales you will be able to sell via the Market Nightly Sales. This initiative will allow you to list items for sale at reduced prices as the commission will be reduced, the Market Nightly Sales will be heavily promoted, of limited time period. To be suitable for the Nightly Sales items will be subject to policies of quality, number of goods available and price.
An online Auction that will be on limited time duration, say 15 – 30 minutes, set reserve you must sell at, no clock wind backs just a straight forward, highest bidder wins at elapsing of time.
As a “market precinct” of course you will have your permanent market stall. The beauty of being online is that this can operate 24/7. These three options working simultaneously will provide multiple sales avenues you would expect to find at an exciting market precinct.

To commence your business with the Night Markets we will commence with the Nightly Sales. This will eliminate the necessity to worry and stress about how to stock and fully operational “Market Stall or Shop”. Buy commencing with this one platform the seller only has to have one item that fulfils requirements of Night Markets policy and they are in the game and could sell thousands of that item. While all that sounds easy the next question must be. How will I obtain suitable stock to sell on any of the Night Markets Sales Platforms?

How will I stock my Night Markets store?

The exciting news is that you will have a choice of how you obtain stock. There will be no limit to the number of categories of items that we want to cater for at the Night Markets. Naturally items such as alcohol and others require special licences but anything is possible in the world of the Night Markets.

The Night Markets has a commercial arrangement with a leading sales group that specialises in sourcing quality goods from China. These items will be made available at the lowest cost possible to Night Market stallholders only. This means your business will be ready with stock from the outset.

How can I compete with large shops by selling on the Night Markets

One of the main aims of the Night Markets is to maintain a "level the playing field" between all our retailers. In a totally new innovative policy each market stall will only be permitted to have on display 20 items. If you wish to sell a shirt that comes in 4 colours and 5 sizes that is only counted as one item. Why will this work? Imagine if a major retailer wanted a market staff as the commission rates, overall concept excites them and they see it as a great add-on to their existing business. They could list dozens of items from endless categories. With their buying power most could never compete. Not with a Night Markets stall. No matter who you are the maximum is 20 items. That levels the field. Plus, if there are a number of stalls selling your category of goods, e.g. men’s clothing, there are any number of items so you can all list different and individual items. You know your industry you will be a big success. And lastly, with this number of items the upkeep of your market stall is minimal.

Note: This does not apply to stamps and coins.

That’s all good, but how much will it cost me?

After your perk fee, your only other cost is the lowest commission you will find on sales items. That’s is right, the only continuous fee is a very low commission on sales. To summarise:

The commission fee is 6½ % sales from market stall and auctions
The Commission on Nightly Market Sales is 5½ %. This is reduced to encourage lower prices in our Nightly Markets Specials
That’s right, No Listing Fees, No Image Fees
It will clear from the “perks” we offer a number of different level of stall participation. Unlike eBay stores there are no $19.95, $49.95 or $499.95 per month store fees. To check out the difference go to sellercentre.ebay.com.au. Unlike other sites the Night Markets has no ongoing fees, no listing fees and no insertion fees.

SERVICES:

The Night Markets staff will be available to assist you with having your "markets stall and items" ready for opening night. It is envisaged that the majority of retailers have a working knowledge of how e-commerce sites actually do operate. If this is new to you will be very happy to assist.

As we have pointed out the Night Markets is a site for Australian Retailers and shoppers due to it having a large internet presence, low commissions plus with a 20 item limit of goods you can compete with larger retailers and with no time consuming tasks for yourself or staff to maintain the site.

To provide a start that will provide a real opportunity for new retailers to make money and importantly to get a real feel for the operation of the Night Markets. By commencing with the Nightly Market sales this will allow the participation of retailers with just a single product. The staff at the Night Markets will provide all the assistance possible to help you find that one product that will provide you with a successful introduction to the Night Markets.
