Cheeki Monkeys Event Organiser

Just wondering has anyone got experience of this company? It costs £150 to sign up to it. I'm already organising regular craft markets in my local area so I was just wondering if it's worth paying out £150 to sign up to this company and if it's worth it compared to organising a baby and children's fayre yourself without their back up?

Here's their website here:

I have never heard of them, but then I'm not really their target audience these days.

My only suggestion would be to go to a few fairs - at least one - and gauge how busy it is, chat to stall holders, look at the spread of stalls etc and then think how it compares to what you've been doing already. You've probably thought of that already.

I'd also ask around and see if your 'customers' have heard of them, would like the 'big name' branding etc.

Their website is two years old; one of their directors resigned in February.

Ok thanks for your replies.

I can't go and look at one of their events because they haven't got a rep in this area yet. My nearest one is about 100 miles away! I have about 900 stall holders on my books and none of them have ever mentioned it so maybe that should tell me something.

Their Facebook page seems quite active.

Its a name very similar to the NCT cheeky monkeys party which is a fund-raising event which sometimes have stalls. Are they trying to capitalise on the similar name perhaps?

Waste of money. It's like the endless amounts of magazines that now want to place your add for £80 and yet in reality nobody even looks at the mag.

I've heard of them its a bit like a mini franchise I think, you can use their brand as your own.
