How do I put my name down for all the festivals?Register your stall and all your details with The Outpost and we'll make sure you're in the running for any event that comes our way. You'll need to scan and upload your insurance, photos and other info and make sure it's always current. When it's time to apply for an event, we'll let you know. If your application is successful you'll be notified and then you'll pay online to complete the process.
How do you choose the market stalls?We look for the most original, beautifully presented stalls possible. Festivals are after a wide variety of products for sale. Let's just say that sunglasses, hats, fisherman's pants (even the really original ones) t-shirts, and clothes in general are extremely well represented in the market place!How do you choose the food stalls?We look for really unusual menus first - dagwood dogs and hot chips are done to death! Also, we give preference to experienced vendors who have traded successfully at similar events and local vendors. We also need stalls to have a spotless track record when it comes to health and food handling. The other thing we're looking for is presentation. Your stall needs professional signage, sneeze guards, great lighting and a fresh looking paint job if it's a van. If you operate out of a tent, then flapping walls that don't reach the ground and dodgy flooring just won’t cut it.Can I choose my own location on the site?No. When you get to the site you'll be shown where to go. Your spot has been chosen to work in with site themes, utilities, crowd flow, stage capacities, emergency access and much more. Food and market stalls are just one component of a really complex animal. And often, the great location that had been previously planned for the stalls disappears once the event build starts because it has flooded, because the promoter has decided to add more toilets, or a rare frog has been discovered, or because a tree has grown, or Police/Fire/Liquor Licensing have made last minute decisions about the crowd flow, emergency access or bar queues. You'll have to go with the flow.Can I have a corner stall?We can't guarantee anyone a particular location. If 50 people ask for a corner stall and there are only four available, it's impossible. And arranging stalls (particularly market stalls) is like doing a complicated jigsaw puzzle. We don't want two t-shirt stalls next to each other, this stall has a large back of house, that one is a van that has to be reversed in, and another needs more constant water supply. Basically you have no control over the location you're given on-site.Will I have exclusivity for my product?Not necessarily. Only sponsors get exclusivity for their products. We try to protect those who have a truly unique product. For example, an event may not need more than one or two curried pumpkin pie or tarot card stalls. But let’s face it – plenty of people will buy hot chips or sunglasses. So it’s likely we’ll allow multiple of those more common products onto the site. However, we will try to position stalls with a similar product away from one another.
Can you guarantee I'll do well at the event?No. There are no guarantees here. If you're looking for a regular income, you’ll need to get a job with the public service. There are an infinite number of factors which will make your stall work - or not. Some of these are out of your control – others are 100% up to you. The stalls that I see doing consistently well are those which are well presented, have a unique product at the right price, great night lighting and are staffed by friendly (clean) people who look like they're having a good time. Those stalls have a great atmosphere, are in it for the long run, work hard every weekend and average their takings over the course of years - instead of measuring weekend by weekend.
At the moment, patrons seem to have less money to spend while they're at events. So it's possible your sales will be slower. Sitting around drinking with your mates, looking glum in a boring stall won't help. And just because there is a glut of festivals on the market doesn't mean they're doing well either - plenty of new events are going down the gurgler!
How do I make sure my food stall meets health regulations?This is really important. If Council visits your stall at an event and wants to shut it down, we won’t stop them and you won’t get your fee back!! Head straight to http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/
Additionally, each Council has it’s own requirements. So when you hear about an event, go to that Councils’ website for more info. You may be required to complete Council forms and pay their permit fee as part of the application process. We’ll let you know if that’s the case.
Why wouldn't you accept my application?The most likely reason your application wouldn't be accepted is because you sell hot chips, dagwood dogs, wraps, sunglasses, hats, fishermans pants etc and we already have heaps of that kind of thing on offer. Other reasons might be that we get HUNDREDS of applications so we need to whittle down numbers. So: we don't accept applications after the cut off date, we look for the most complete applications, applications which show photos of the stalls looking amazing and applications which demonstrate how unique the product is. It's not necessarily that we don't like your product; it might just be that your application doesn't demonstrate how unique it is.
Do I really need Public Liability Insurance??YES! Everyone needs insurance these days. Most events require $10 million public and $10 million products liability. Check out the Markets And Fairs Website for a list of insurers. http://www.marketsandfairs.com.au/insurance.html
Do I need work cover?You should get advice about your specific business, but the general rule is that your employees (and you, if you’re an employee of your business) need to be covered. Festivals and events will not be liable for injuries to you or your workers on the way to work or while they’re carrying out their work activities.
What sort of safety equipment do I need?Every stall – Food or Market – needs a fire extinguisher. And food stalls also need a fire blanket. Fire extinguishers and blankets are the bare minimum. Take some time to assess your stall and take steps to make it safe. Fire extinguishers are easy to get – go to any auto store to find one. But make sure it’s tested and tagged – take it to the local fire station.
Also, make sure that you and your staff know where it’s located how to use it!!! It’s not a good look if Council visits your stall and all they get is blank looks…..
What if it rains?You’re going to get wet. Take measures to weather proof your stall. Food stalls should have raised flooring. Markets – don’t leave your precious stock in a cardboard box on the ground. All stalls should be weighted and of sturdy enough construction to withstand high winds and heavy rain.
Can I rent a floor, tent or other equipment?Sure thing. However some festivals have such limited access in and out of the site that you’ll have to use the hire company nominated by them. Alternatively, you can always get the hire gear delivered to you at home and bring it in with you at load in.
How do I improve my chances of getting a stall?This is an easy one! Become known as one of those easy to deal with, trustworthy, consistent types.
- Complete your application on time, make sure your paperwork is legible and complete, and ensure your payment doesn’t bounce.
- Read the information you’re sent BEFORE you come to the site and make sure your staff know where they’re going.
- Don’t ask us to make exceptions for you. If you’ve been given a direction, just follow it.
- Be polite. No tears or tantrums. Don’t whinge or make a fuss on-site. Just get in there, do your job, follow the rules, sell heaps of great stuff, then load out.
- Don’t leave rubbish behind you. If you leave oil drums, Styrofoam, milk crates, broken couches behind, you won’t be asked back.
