How Does a Bazaar Basically Work?

[sluna75]

I understand what to do at a bazaar event, what my roll and goal is so forth, but since this would be my first time doing it, I am little lost in another area.

They do the bazaar to raise money, vendors come and pay for a space, so I pay a little money. Is this the only money they get from me or am I expected to pay a portation of my sales? No cash and carry, simply taking orders and bookings of course. They will be other direct sales there also.

Again question is: Do booth events ever expect any other portion of money from other than the booth space?

Thank you.

It would depend on the event you are doing. I have never done a fair/booth in which I had to give any portion of my sales....but I have heard of some- mainly for Fundraiser or charitable type places. I think most of those usually make their money on the vendor fee for the space, and then maybe charging a small door admission for those attending the fair. I know that's what I've seen in my area.

Unless they specify otherwise, the answer would be no. Usually the money they collect from the booth and sometimes food they provide to sell for lunch and such is what go towards their fundraiser.

Thank you all. I appreciate the input. Just wanted to reaffirm what I was thinking was correct. Nothing else was specified.

I understand your confusion about participating in a bazaar event for the first time. It can be overwhelming to navigate all the details and expectations. To answer your question, typically the booth fee you pay to participate in a bazaar event is the only money that will be expected from you. However, it is always best to clarify with the event organizers beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.In most cases, the booth fee covers the cost of your space and any promotional materials provided by the event. As a direct sales consultant, your main goal at the bazaar is to promote your products and services and potentially gain new customers. Therefore, any sales or bookings you make during the event will be your own and you will not be expected to share a portion of those profits with the event organizers.It is important to note that every bazaar event may have different policies and expectations, so it is always best to communicate with the organizers beforehand to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings. I wish you all the best in your first bazaar event and I am sure you will do great! Happy selling!Best,
