Surprise Surprise
One of the new stall holders at Arataki Market left the November
market day with a big smile on her face! After a fairly quiet morning
of trade, someone withdrew $140 from the onsite EFTPOS and spent
it all on her stall. We think she will be back again!
In November we had a bumper day in other ways with 20 stalls on site.
Three of stalls were groups of Bethlehem College students who
have to plan for and then run a stall as part of a school project. They
have been once before and the teacher really enjoyed the
experience so three new groups
came this month.
The students were selling avocados and woodchip,
pancakes and freshly squeezed juice, and pre-loved goods. It is a
great experience for them to prepare all the signage and layout of
their stall, and then see what they need to do to engage customers
on
the day and get them buying.
