I have my insurance with NMTF, National Market Traders Federation but it is way more per year than Fiona's tip above!
Personally I think you should protect yourself with adequate insurance before going out to sell anything, but it is personal choice, and I am not going down that route again from last year girls!!!!!!
We all have to be pretty inventive for stands for our own displays, so it is just a matter of keep looking around for something you could use. If you want to spend serious money on a stand, try Alan Lewis Displays on the Prince Regent Road in Belfast.
Some markets insist on Market Traders Insurance and the National Trust also look for insurance, but I think the NT can offer you blanket cover at their events for a fee.DJWW - cos we won't let it!0 -
Hi everyone,
Just joined this forum! I make greeting cards and other bits and bobs and was wondering if anyone can offer advice on insurance. I only do the very odd craft fair, primary schools when I can get in and that's about it. Should I have insurance? I didn't want to pay so much for about 3 fairs a year!?
And anyone know where to get greeting card display stands? they are so expensive everywhere I've looked and the cardboard ones aren't great.
Thanks in advance
I have my insurance with the same company as Fi.
My greeting card stands I bought of ebay and they weren't that expensive, one even folds flat which is a big helpJesus is alive!!!0 -
i sent out about 20 letters this week to schools in ballymoney/portrush/portstewart and coleraine to try and find some new fairs so hopefully will be able to pass them on to some of you (will pm!!!)0
