 Whether you're looking to start a new business or grow an existing one, SwapSmart offers very affordable, low risk merchant opportunities. For example, if your products are a good fit for one of the many events we host (see below), you can participate for as little as $10 per day! For permanent merchants, SwapSmart licenses space for as little as $375 per calendar month, and all our agreements are month-to-month. So, if you're looking for a place to expose your products / services to tens of thousands of people per month, read on! Because SwapSmart does not charge for admission or parking (like many of our competitors), we dedicate at least 10% of all rental revenues to advertising. Our advertising budget is also amplified by income from special events, as well as in-house marketing opportunities that are purchased by our merchants. The average SwapSmart location will dedicate at least $10K per month into a cooperative advertising account. Although on an individual store basis our advertising budget may not outdo competitors who charge admission, as SwapSmart executes on its expansion plan, economies of scale will afford us the opportunity to do far more advertising than all of our local competitors. In addition to out-advertising the competition, SwapSmart is committed to separating itself from the competition in a number of other ways. Firstly, we are extremely diligent about providing a clean, family-friendly environment. As such, we take great care to ensure that our facility is very well maintained and that all our merchants are conducting business in a manner that is consistent with our family-friendly philosophy. Secondly, our target market and surrounding neighborhood demographic is middle-income families; whereas most of our competitors are located in low-income neighborhoods and, thereby, attract predominantly a lower income clientele. Thirdly, we recognize the need to drive traffic from a much larger base of customers than a traditional retailer. To accomplish this goal, we regularly host special events that target niche interests and serve as a call-to-action for our potential shoppers. Employing this strategy has made SwapSmart a great success, and made us the right choice for hundreds of entrepreneurs just like you! Are you ready to be a merchant?
