About
Munchkin Markets was established in May 2006 when a need was recognised for this kind of market in the Community, and even though Munchkin Markets is a private business, we believe that we provide a valuable service for families, small businesses and other Community Groups. We allow a non-profit organisation to run a fundraising sausage sizzle at each market, and we also donate a percentage of our profit to the Royal Childrens Hospital.
Our markets enable families to buy and sell their quality pre-loved baby and childrens goods at a fraction of the price you would buy them for brand new, and most stallholders find that they have a lot of fun meeting new people and making some cash in the process. We also allow a select number of small businesses to sell their goods at our market, many of which offer brand new discounted products &/or unique goods that cannot be purchased at retail. With at least 50 stalls at each market, there is something for everyone.
At most markets we offer free kids activities, and encourage people to bring their children along to enjoy the fun atmosphere. Face-painting and Mini Maestro workshops are some of the activities that we have offered in the past, and will continue to do so.
Munchkin Markets is establishing a name for itself as a well-run and well-planned business. We advertise through fliers and printed media, however are finding that the best advertising is via word of mouth. We are getting more and more phone calls and emails from customers wanting to know about how to sell their pre-loved goods or who just want to come along to have a look. We have had lots of positive feedback about how well our markets are run, and also many satisfied customers who have walked away with a bargain or two.
We are learning and growing through each market that we hold, and are always more than happy to hear constructive comments. This allows us to keep in touch with our customers, as well as continuously improving our services.
