Thanks for popping by, nice to meet you both. Let's hope next week we dont have the musical sewing machine screaching through our ears all day long . Cheers Guys

We headed out to Alcala Market yesty, nice little town very cute. We were very surprised we did really well, alot of Scandanavian tourist, which seem to love our T's, apparently they like quality stuff. Our T's dont really fit the price range of the markets, as some sell T's at 3-5euro and apparently 100% cotton , but we are happy, proud of what we sell and are sticking with it! I think the market needs something different and a little bit of quality :hi-5:

Always a market for quality, most people don't even look at the rubbish stuff

If you did well in Alcala you may also do well in Playa San Juan, less cheapskate Brits and far more Swedish, German and Finnish tourists.

Cheapskate Brits How very dare you

Yeah they got a middle name, Northern

, it is true though, the brits do love there discounts and bargain boxes and strive for a half price negotiation... or just walk away when they hear the price

Does anyone know the areas in which the Germans, Swedish, Finnish, Hungarian etc tourists stay? We want to try to set up in a hotel a day or so a week also, but we cant figure out what area they stay in. These tourists are prime customers so would love to know there hideout if anyone knows. Cheers Tif

There are a lot that stay by Lazy Daze, think they may use Noelia Sur

Think you also need the Russians, I would suggest the Del Duque / La Caleta area - don´t know which hotels as we don´t stay in them but have a wander around the hotels in map ref A - B 1 - 2 square HERE also in square C but only the Anthelia and the Jardines Nivaria the rest are used by Brits and usually families.

As Gypsy says,most of the Germans are in the Del Duque area in the big up-market hotels there.

Ve haf waiys of makin yu bye

Hmmmmm, think you mean bi Mary.

On the sensible front try Puerto de la Cruz.

Hamburg...........yeah PDLC

Great Thanks Guys and Gals

Out of interest do they provide you with the stalls and table tops, awnings etc or do you have your own? Are they dear in Tenerife if so, as I know whether to bring mine. Thanks

Didn´t know you were here at the moment innit - you been down the pool looking for Cru?


Matt - Tif sorry I hate markets, but I have told OH about your t-shirts so maybe next week if you are there we will give it a whirl. Like Reg he also likes Polo shirts but still has loads of t-shirts for during the day, he likes Billabong, Fatface etc. so would imagine yours are similar quality.

I been looking for Linda for weeks but she keeps her head down now Gypsy. Do she still go do you know?

We both type better after midnight I am not sure why. ;

It all depends on which market, on what they provide, as each market has a complete different set up and space that they give you. Trust me we learnt the hard way on this one. One stall is usually 2m x 2m. They will always provide you with a table though
Adeje - Sat and Thurs - table, stall frames and cover supplied.
Los Cristianos - Table, stall frames and cover supplied.
Alcala - Table and cover supplied. You can rent the stall frames 5euro. Cannot rent a cover (we had a very hot sunny monday last week)
Torviscos - table,stall frames and cover supplied.
Golf Del Sur - Table supplied. If they have a cover and frames left they will give you, if not you need your own.
Playa San Juan - Table only supplied. Need your own frames and cover if you do not get a spot under an existing cover.

My suggestion would be for all the markets except adeje and LC, bring your own cover and frames or atleast some poles you can attach on the table as it is hit and miss on the spot you get. If you get a spot! It's not easy to get into them as a newbie and you need to go through the admin side after your first trial market.
If you have any more q's let me know
Cheers
Tif

thanks, as soon as we are over we will come and see you. probably be June before stock arrives.

No Probs, What are you planning to sell? or is that

Tif, I've stuck a selection of Matt's T-shirts on the slideshow on the "Home" page.
