Your request for a certain stall cannot be guaranteed. We try our very best to make everyone happy.
If you have a preference for a stall, please put this in your comments on your application.
I APPLIED FOR A STALL AS SOON AS SPOTS OPENED. HOW COME I WASN’T ACCEPTED?
We receive more applications than we have stalls so spots are limited!
Business stall applications are carefully handpicked. Applications submitted early do not guarantee a spot.
We aim to ensure our market showcases a large variety of different products and we limit the same type of stalls.
This is not only to ensure that customers have a large variety of options but if we allowed too many of the same type of product our stallholders sales would be minimal.
We want you to leave happy with lots of money in your pocket and you can’t do that if 10 other people are selling the same products as you!
If your application was not approved, please try again next time. Only because your application wasn’t selected this time does not mean it won’t be for the next market!
SET UP ON THE DAY
You will give given approximately 1-1.5 hour to set up your stall.
It is very important you do not arrive late. Stallholders that have not arrived or set up by 8.30am will have their spot forfeited and no refund or credit given.
You will need to BYO chair. You may also want to bring a second trestle table as most will accommodate two tables. We strongly suggest bringing a second trestle table if your stall is on a corner.
Please note that stallholders are required to maintain their stall until 1.00pm. Packing up early is not permitted as this can cause safety issues. It is also fair that paying customers enjoy a full selection of stalls until the market closes.
You will have until 1.30pm to pack up and leave the venue. Please ensure you take all your rubbish and clean up around you. There are plenty of garbage and recycling bins available.
Please note; you are liable if any of your products/tables etc. damage the venue.
WHERE DO I PUT MY LARGE ITEM?
All large items must be kept at your stall. If you have a few large items, we suggest only having one trestle table at your stall. The trestles supplied are 1.8m.
PLEASE NOTE- Car seats MUST be under 8 years old to be sold at the market. Prams must meet safety standards and have a red break and tether strap. We will come around prior to the market starting to check your items comply. If your car seat does not have a manufacture date or has been in an accident it cannot be sold and we will request you take it back to your car.

HOW DO I DISPLAY ALL MY ITEMS?
After lots of feedback from customers and stallholders we have made a list of the top things to consider when organising your items for sale.
Make sure you only sell items that are clean and in working order. If you wouldn’t want to buy it then please don’t sell it!
The number 1 thing by far is CLEARLY PRICE EVERYTHING! Items with no prices or ‘make an offer’ items are VERY hard to sell. Most customers feel it gives the impression the items are expensive. They don’t want to say no to you once you tell them the price and don’t want to offend you if they have to make an offer.
Use clear tubs and clothes hangers. You can hire a clothes rack for $5.00 to display your items.
Sort clothing into sizes and sexes. Try not to have too many things in each tub.
Make ‘brand names’ clear and easy to see. Lots of people come looking for specific brands such as; Country Road, Seed, La Sienna, Love to Dream, Bonds etc.
Use signs or balloons to attract people to your stall. Fluro cardstock attached to the end of your clothes racks with clear labelling. E.g- GIRLS BONDS CLOTHING SIZE 0-2 $5ea.
Do your homework on prices. Check eBay, marketplace, Gumtree. Especially for the large items. Be realistic
If you have brand new items, ensure the tags are out so it’s clear they are brand new.
Make sure all toys and clothes are clean and ironed (if needed). The better the present the more likely a sale.
It is natural for people to bargain. Don’t be offended. Remember it’s better to get rid of it than take it home again.
If a customer wants a larger item from your stall, offer to hold it until they are ready to leave. Sometimes they won’t buy an item because they don’t want to drag it around the rest of the market.
If it gets to 11.30 and you still have lots of items left, think about reducing the prices.
Talk to customers! Ask what they are looking for. Lots of customers that come in the first hour are on the hunt for specific things.
Don’t forget to bring enough change! So many stallholders don’t realise how much change they will need. We suggest $400 in change consisting of some coins and mostly $5 and $10 notes. Remember you can always give out 2x $10 notes if you run out of $20 notes but can’t give out a $20 note if you run out of a $10 note! You will find most people pay with $20 or $50 as they have been to an ATM on the way! We will not swap change over for you at the front door so please be mindful.
Talk to your neighbouring stallholders. You will need them if you need a quick toilet break or something to eat! They also come in handy if you wanted to walk around and make some purchases yourself!
Last and most important- HAVE FUN!!!
EXTRA INFORMATION
It is recommended to bring paper or plastic bags (if you still have some), pen, a bottle of water and a table cloth or similar to cover the table.
Please ensure you have sufficient change. We will not swap change over at the front door for you as we simply just do not carry enough.
Just remember you are better off to have heaps of change left over than run out!
there will not be an ATM on site. Keep this in mind when working out how much change you need as most people pay with big notes!
Feel free to post on our Facebook page (not in the Event) what you are selling, boy or girls, sizes, brands...etc. Also put your stall number so people know where to find you. I will then share the post. You would be surprised how many people will come to your stall first after seeing this!
You will be liable if yourself, your helpers, your products/set ups etc. cause any damage to the venue. You accept full liability and agree to pay for any costs associated with fixing the issue including extra fees incurred by All for kids’ market such as; extra venue hire costs to rectify the issue, staff costs, admin fees etc. Any damage must be reported immediately to the All For Market staff.
"Pre-loved" stallholders
Can sell: Quality second-hand goods relating to babies, toddlers and kids.
Cannot sell: new goods and handcrafted goods. If you intend to sell new and second-hand items you will need to pay a Business Stall fee.
STRICTLY NO DRAGGING OF ITEMS ACROSS THE FLOOR DURING SET-UP/PACK UP, ANY DAMAGE TO THE FLOOR WILL RENDER YOU LIABLE FOR REPAIR PAYMENT.
Please bring a trolley to transport your goods or even a pram!
For any help during set-up or pack-up there will be helpers in high-vis vests to guide you.
Safety and security
