Pop-Up flamenco shop at classes and festivals

Flamenco students and performers, teachers, and festival visitors who want a fan, shawl or castanets.

Markup on items sold at each event. Shoe fittings and repeat visits to the same studios build a loyal customer base.

• Fitting shoes and advising on sizes
• Selling face to face
• Packing, setting up and managing stock
• Building relationships with teachers and studios

• Public liability insurance, which market and festival organisers often ask for
• Stall fees and permits vary by event and council, so check with each organiser
• Register an ABN and check when GST registration applies
• Holding sizes you may not sell ties up money, so start small and track what sells
• Australian Consumer Law applies to in-person sales too, so check refund and guarantee obligations

Startup costs are typically around $2,000 to $8,000, depending on how much stock you carry, your stall setup and event fees. These are estimates, and starting with a small range can keep money from being tied up in sizes.

Monthly revenue is typically around $600 to $3,000, depending on how many events and classes you attend and what sells. This is revenue before costs, and the estimate assumes at least about 8 hours a week.

Check public liability insurance, which market and festival organisers often ask for. Also check stall fees and permits with each organiser and council, ABN and GST registration, and Australian Consumer Law refund and guarantee obligations for in-person sales.
