Check out our fun behind-the-scenes look into a new little venture and learn how to open up an antique booth.

7 TIPS ON OPENING A SUCCESSFUL ANTIQUE BOOTH

If you are curious about how it is doing for us, let me share some of the details as we have experienced it. We actually had it set up 3 months ago, so I do have some data to share with you.

1

CHECK YOUR LOCAL STORES

Find local stores near you and speak with the manager/owner. Ask them questions about availability, requirements, and what you need to do to get started.

2

FIND OUT THE RENTAL COST

We have to pay a monthly rental fee which costs $150 for this small 8-foot squared booth. Well happily, we have cleared that fee, plus some each month.

3

READ THE CONTRACT AGREEMENT THOROUGHLY

Ask to see the contract/agreement. Make sure you can meet and agree to the requirements.

4

GATHER ALL YOUR ANTIQUE ITEMS AND PRICE THEM OUT

Our store required we submit them previously. Then they made the tags with our vendor number and printed them out. We picked them up and attached them to the items before bringing them to the store.

5

PLAN YOUR STYLE FOR YOUR ANTIQUE BOOTH

Have a plan in place before you bring the items you want to sell to your booth! Acquire needed shelving and wall hooks to hang items.

6

STYLE YOUR ANTIQUE SHOP

We recommend that you arrange a time with the owners to bring your items after hours if possible.
