Amber Sales Booth
This page shows some simple ways to display amber for mall and outdoor sales from a small booth or kiosk.
The pictures below show a kiosk and a series of stands at outdoor markets in tourist areas. They are shown as examples of successful small business ventures.
This shows a kiosk that specializes in jewelry. A woman has a series of these in a few shopping malls. She started at flea markets, saw the potential and moved into the shopping malls. In the fall she adds Hand formed Polish Christmas ornaments.
This picture was taken at about 11 o'clock in the morning at an Amber stand in a tourist area. The stand was constantly crowded by customers so I could not get a good picture of the stand during normal working hours.
The pictures below were taken at about 830 on a Sunday morning so that I could get pictures before the booths were crowded with customers.
In this picture you can see the variety of amber that she had. She did not price it low! She pushed the upper limits on pricing and cut prices, if she had to, to make a sale.
She was willing to negotiate a price with anyone. It was very successful for her.
This shows how another retailer sells the raw baltic amber. The display is common and really pulls sales. The more you have hanging, the more you sell.
Here here you see another stand that did not specialize in Amber. But they used a curtain rod to hang many strands of amber necklaces. The necklaces drew people to the stand and prompted sales not only of the necklaces but the other gift items also.
Another small display of raw amber necklaces.
During normal working hours this booth is normally filled with people. I had to shoot it early on a Sunday morning so that you could see how simple it is.
It is a booth like this that the woman shown in a kiosk in the beginning of this page used to start her business. And she still maintains booths like this in the tourist areas of northern Poland.
In the amber catalogs there is a complete white paper that describes starting and amber business.
