barncat Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Just curious...I have some things stirring in my head. What do you typically pay for a booth in a craft or antique mall? How much for say a 10'X10' or 10'X15' area? What fees do you pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrychunkie Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 We are in one here and we pay $35 a month for it. We have 2 huge shelving units in the area, they are 8 ft shelves with 4 compartments each in them and it is right up in front of the store. We do ok there anytime but the summer months.

CSAS Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I guess it would really depend on your area and how the craft mall is doing.I have a few craft malls in my area and one does very well and the one I actually work at one day a week doesn't do well at all.If the craft mall is doing well. Meaning they are keeping their vendors happy by keeping the customers coming in, the rent on a space that large would be around $250.00.Usually a space that is 4 ft wide and 2 ft deep is $75.00If the craft mall is not trying and has a large turnover of vendors, you can probably pay around $100.00The commissions may vary between 8-12% per month based on your sales.I know this doesn't help. I would call them and ask their rates before you go in. If they sound like something you can handle for 3-4 months to see if your product does well there, then go in and see what they have available.HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentsandMore Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I have a booth with a friend in a mall that is not all crafts but has a little of everything. Booth size is 10 x 10 and cost $120 per month. I share it with a friend so we each pay $60 which is not bad. I will say that after Christmas until close to fall my sales are way down to the point sometimes I just make my part of the rent. Sometimes I think about giving it up but I stay in for the fall/Christmas season and it does get my name out there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueH Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Mine costs 30.00 per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 The one in my town (bigger city) is 100/mo and you have to sign a year contract... $30.00/mo would be awesome! The 100/mo scared me off because when I was there they just didn't have enough people in the store/mall to justify that amount of money, and I especially hate contracts. I don't feel like the particular craft mall did much advertising to get folks in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doris Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 We had one here several years ago (small town in NS), they charged 125/month for a space about 4x4. I was horrified. Also the person at the cash had her nose stuck in a book, and anyone could have walked out of there with anything. Needless to say, they didn't last long.
