OOOOBY is a resource for people who want to buy local, and also for local people who want to sell their produce.
The focus is on local food, craft and gifts, eco and gardening items, so if you are a producer of any of these, no matter how small, here's how it works:
Selling from a stall or basket
Every Saturday we have OOOOBY Exchange from 11:30-3:30. You can come for all or part of the day, some vendors only come at 1:30. We have set the cost to vendors so that it is accessible to small producers, but is fair to everyone. The cost is 10% of sales, with a minimum of just €5. This covers you for public liability (not product) insurance and contributes towards our rent, marketing & other costs. An electric hookup is available if required, for an additional €3.
If you have a very small quantity of items you can instead hire a basket to sell from for the day - the cost is just €3 for a small basket, €5 for a medium one and €7 for a large one.
Stocking your items in the Store
We can take a limited amount of items for display on the store shelves, on a sale or return basis. If they are sold, the percentage OOOOBY gets is higher than if you are selling from a stall. The amount varies so please contact us if you're interested in doing this.
Online shop
We can add your products to the online catalogue, and create a vendor page just for you. Unless we are holding some stock of your items, you will need to be able to fulfill sales orders as they come in. The cost to you is again a percentage of sales, please contact us if you're interested in this.
Customers want to know about you!
For all vendors, especially those who are leaving stock or selling on the website, we need some information about you so that customers can learn who is making the product, where they are, what ingredients are used etc. A photo of you involved in production is very helpful too.
