Jewellery market stall and pop-ups

Market visitors, tourists, gift shoppers and people who like to browse and buy on impulse.

You sell pieces at a markup, paying a stall fee per event. Sales are strongest at busy events, and bundle deals and gift packaging can raise the average sale.

• Friendly selling and chatting with shoppers
• Setting up an attractive display
• Handling cash and card payments

• Stall fees and application deadlines, as popular markets and holiday fairs often fill early
• Check whether markets require commercial general liability insurance
• Check municipal vendor permit rules and GST/HST registration once you pass the small supplier threshold
• Outdoor events depend on weather, and winter markets need warm clothing and indoor venues
• Check nickel and lead rules for jewellery with your suppliers

Estimated startup costs are typically around $800 to $3,500, depending on your display, stock and stall fees. Monthly revenue is estimated at roughly $400 to $3,000, depending on the events you attend and what you sell.

Check municipal vendor permit rules, whether markets require commercial general liability insurance, and GST/HST registration once you pass the small supplier threshold. Also check nickel and lead rules for jewellery with your suppliers, and stall fee deadlines.

Useful skills include friendly selling and chatting with shoppers, setting up an attractive display, and handling cash and card payments. Estimates suggest at least about 8 hours a week, and outdoor events depend on weather.
