Mathilda’s are particularly passionate about their new program for 2010: Fabulous Finds, which will support and showcase fledgling, up-and-coming talent. They love the people and products that are part of the handmade/craft community, and understand the difficulties of starting up a small venture.
Sooooo … at every single Mathilda’s Market, they will be offering a stall for the reduced price of $50 to two fresh and exciting businesses. They hope being part of Mathilda’s Market will give these businesses a great kick-start and help them grow. Perhaps you (or a small business operator you know) meet the criteria on the checklist below to be part of the Fabulous Finds program?
– Do you create absolutely gorgeous, quality baby and kids’ goods? (If you produce goodies that have crossover˜appeal and make Mums giddily happy too, we˜ll also consider you). Remember – your products need to be of the highest quality. This is paramount, as we have a reputation for showcasing and selling only the cream of the crop!
– Do you create handmade goods, or items made on a small production run? As well as handmade things (our absolute favourite because they˜re so unique), we˜ll accept goods made in limited or small production runs. Please note we WON˜T consider mass-produced items, no matter where they are made.
– Are you a brand new business making something that just HAS to be seen by savvy shoppers with great taste? OR perhaps you have been creating your wares as a hobby for some time, and are looking to expand your venture?
– If accepted, can you make enough products to plentifully stock your stall ready for loads of sales on Market day? And are you prepared for an increase in demand before and after Market day? Are you able to manage this increased workload with professionalism and a smile?
If you fit the bill and would like to apply, please send ONE email to talent@mathildasmarket.com.au with the following information:
– Your name
– Your business name (if you have one)
– Your mobile number
– Which City you would like to hold a stall at
– A BRIEF description of your product or product range, including what it is you create, the retail cost of your products, and why they are fabulous, high quality and that little bit special.
– At least 4 images of your products (no more than 1MB in total) or your website address.
– A BRIEF outline why you should become a œFabulous Find.
Applications for the Fabulous Finds program are always open, as they will have two such stalls at every Mathilda˜s Market around the country, but to be considered for the first round of Markets in 2010, please submit your application by 28 January. Please note we need ALL of the above information to make a decision. Please DO NOT email us if you cannot answer all questions above.
If you know of someone who would be suitable for this great opportunity, please pass this detail on.
