This months MARKETS

Well, the 4th Sunday of the month is almost upon us again and we are getting ready (and a little excited too) to welcome all our amazing stallholders again.

Last month was so great and we had over 800 people through the door! Not bad for our first markets in the new venue. We have working hard on getting even more of the Ipswich public through the door to see your amazing stalls. Did you come and visit myself and Kerryn at the Ipswich Lifestyle and Hobby Expo on the weekend? I had the stand for iDance (my dance studio) and we were furiously handing out showbags and leaflets with all the info about the IIB as well. Our most beautiful friend Joey also gave an interview on River 94.9 and plugged the IIB BIGTIME!! well done Boss!

We have had the emails flooding in over the last few weeks as well with new stallholder enquiries so keep an eye out for MORE new faces in the stallholder crowd. We have some more advertising going up this week so be on the lookout...the big sign at Brassall Shopping Centre is about to get the IIB treatment, more signs are going up all over the place and today the toddy and I are taking a road trip and hitting every community notice board in the city and surrounds. That being said, we would still love your help in promoting the IIB. Here's how you can help...

1. Go to this previous post and right click on the flyer image to copy or save it. You can use this image to post on your own blog or website, print out to use as a flyer or a poster or many other creative uses.

2. Join our facebook group and the fan page (which you can find by clicking the new button to your right) Promote us through your facebook page...it's the world's biggest networking tool at the moment...we may as well take advantage of it!

3. Word of Mouth is our greatest promoter! Tell everybody about the IIB, relatives, friends, people you run into at the shops, your school friends or their parents...you get the idea!

4. Do you have a mailing list for your business? Add a little note in your mailings/newsletter about the fact that you will be at the fabulous IIB on the weekend...then your online customers can come and visit you (and the rest of us) in the flesh.

Can you think of some more ways you can help us promote? Let us know and we will provide you with the means to do so!

We would like to remind all our stallholders new and old that setup/bump in is from 6.00am, the gates off Vogel Rd will be locked before this time and you will not be able to enter the venue until 6. The same applies for knock down. We advertise that the markets run until 1pm and there will be no packing up before then unless announced or if you have express permission from Kerryn.


So that's all for today...stay tuned for more exciting IIB news.


Kyla and Kerryn
