GENERAL INFO
1. The Co-Retail shop can display only up to 15 SKUs per merchant, and you can give us as many inventory as you want (we suggest up to 20 for small items, up to 10 for medium items, and up to 2 for large items). We will process payments with 0% commission, but there is a 2.75% credit card fee. Please include that as part of your pricing.
2. Pricing is entirely up to you, as we don't take any commission, please set your price to be competitive!
3. Staffing: we will provide two sales staff during the whole co-retail shop, managing the operations, POS, and talking to customers about the story of each of the merchants. We know that some of you would like to be at the market, which is totally ok, if you can help getting clients through the shop, or explaining your products to them, anything that helps drive sales is fair game! However, the shop is small and please be mindful of that.
4. Visual Merchandizing & Positioning of items in the store is entirely up to our discretion and curation, we will make all products to be appeared equally well within the shop. The shop is located at the entry of the market so it will get good traction and curation.

SPREADING THE WORD

More of this will be posted here as time goes forward.
