Creative markets not only attract start-ups, it also has a unique charm for
shop or brand owners from the old fashioned way of selling.
Local brand founder of Elly, started out from creative markets like BFS. Who
later opened her own shopfront and an online shop, she experienced the
importance of having creative markets as a platform for new entrepreneurs
to test market potentials. There are other successful stories like hers in BFS.
After opening her own stall and building her customer base, Ellys founder
still values every chance to take part in BFS. She says BFS has been opening
to more new consumers group and they come from different parts of the
world. This is a good way for us to meet new customers.
Creative Markets is also an ideal platform for Artists to put out their works.
Desmond Anabrang from Indonesia Bali says, the uniqueness of creative
markets culture is how consumers meet merchandises by chance.
Customers who do not have interest in Batik arts might have a change of
impression after this meet.
Even established designer brands fall for creative markets.
Designer jewellery brand Carrie K founder took part in BFS for the first time
last year. She says that many feel that retail is boring now and they find it
exciting to treasure hunt at creative markets. It adds on the fun when you
gather a few friends and do it together.
Carrie K also says: Many do not know that we have many active designers in
Singapore. Due to expensive rentals many of them choose to make their
creations at home, but this gives them less chances to get in touch with the
world. Platforms like BFS gives these designers a chance to gather together.
Set up for less than 2 years, One + One leather goods studio took part in
BFS for the first time last year. During the fair she received many enquires
and orders, including an order of an 80cm orange bag shipped to Kuwait.
She met many interesting customers during the fair and this means a lot to
new designers, the experience helps in the personal growth in them.
