Rugby gear pop-up for clubs and schools

Club players and parents, club committees ordering team gear, and school sports coordinators.

Retail margin on sales at the stall, plus larger team and school orders. Boot fittings and on-the-spot sizing help justify buying in person.

• Friendly face-to-face selling
• Knowing rugby boots, sizing and protective gear
• Organising stock and event calendars

• Public liability insurance for trading at clubs, schools and events
• Check with your local council whether you need a permit for stalls or temporary trading
• Schools and clubs may need working with children checks, check your state's rules
• Stock tied up in sizes that do not sell, so start small
• Busy seasons are short, so plan around the playing calendar

Startup costs are typically around $3,000 to $12,000, depending on how much stock you carry, your vehicle and your stall setup. These are estimates. Starting small can help avoid stock stuck in sizes that do not sell.

Monthly revenue is typically around $1,500 to $7,500, depending on how many clubs, schools and events you visit and the size of team orders. Busy seasons are short, so plan around the playing calendar.

Check public liability insurance for trading at clubs, schools and events, and ask your local council whether you need a permit for stalls or temporary trading. Schools and clubs may also need working with children checks, so check your state's rules.
