VILLAGEFETES ... NEWSLETTER FOR EVENT AND LEISURE BUSINESSES Welcome to this months edition of our newsletter. With the start of Autumn and the darker nights looming its time to start looking at business ideas and opportunities for the coming months. With the main events season coming to an end shortly, good event trading positions can become slightly harder to find. The secret is to keep your business flexible and adaptable to changing seasonal event requirements. A 20ft catering trailer may be ideal at a steam rally but may not be suitable for a town centre shopping court or mall, whereas a traditional vending cart may be more appropriate and appeal to organisers. Social Media - Like, Follow, Share Villagefetes Although we try to include all our new advertisers and articles in our newsletters we can't always fit everything in that we would like to. However you can always keep up to date with all our daily updates, news and latest articles by subscribing to our RSS news feed. Read on for more seasonal business opportunity ideas Walkabout Traders - Glow Products and Foil Balloon Sellers The beauty of being a walkabout trader is that no specialist equipment is needed and the only investment is the stock items that your intend to sell. Glow products are popular this time of year along with foil balloons, head boppers etc. Trading licenses may be needed so check with your council first. Visit our suppliers directory to find glow product suppliers Winter Warmers - Traditional Hot Seasonal Fayre When times are getting harder and everybody is feeling a little poorer how about setting up a mobile soup kitchen using soup kettles offering traditional warming soups and complimented with freshly baked crusty bread rolls. Note: Don't forget all food sellers must be council registered before selling to public. Visit our suppliers directory to find vending cart suppliers Sweets and Treats - Fun Food Equipment Hire Candy floss, popcorn and candies are always popular over the festive season but if setting up a stall does not appeal why not hire out the equipment. Many party and corporate organisers look to hire and self operate the equipment rather than book a sweet seller. Candy floss, popcorn, slush, soft ice cream... Visit our suppliers directory to find fun food equipment suppliers Remember to Advertise your Seasonal Services Every year at this time we are inundated with requests by organisers for seasonal traders and street vendors (particularly traditional hot chestnut sellers) through our Countyfetes website.
