The online market turns 3 years old
Hurray! The upcoming autumn & winter market is the 5th online market of its kind. It's been 4 years since the very first market and although the foundation is the same, really good vintage from 1920 to 1979, the shape of the market is constantly evolving.
What started as an experiment during the pandemic has become a recurring and very popular digital marketplace that draws the best vintage sellers from all over Sweden and attracts an international buyer crowd. A two day vintage bonanza, and you're invited!
We offer selected vintage from both large established stores and small private vintage sellers. They open up their collections and you don't even have to leave the couch to join. And we don't stop there! You are also served plenty of vintage inspiration, information and the opportunity to get to know both us who sell and other buyers on the market's Instagram account, all the way up to the market. So don't miss out, go follow us on IG.
Welcome to our wonderful vintage world!

As the market takes place directly on Instagram, an average of 10,000 vintage-hungry visitors find there way there & the crowd is international. In addition to Sweden, Denmark and the rest of the Nordic countries, the buyers come from Holland, England, Germany, Austria, USA and Croatia.
The visibility
By selling on the online market you get seen directly where it all happens, on social media. It leads to more new customers, followers & contacts. Your visibility is pushed up by the marketing the market does for you, combined with your own IG activity. So much so that there are sellers who claim that the algorithms get pumped up for a whole year ahead.
04
Easy to start selling
You can do everything from home and you don't have to pack up and travel far, with all the costs and emissions it means. No advanced technology is required, all you need is an Instagram account and your mobile phone.
05
The environment
It feels important & good to be part of a sustainable event. By ensuring that more clothes are reused, you are helping to ensure that less new clothes are produced. As a seller, taking care of older clothes, washing & mending is a great thing and a special knowledge that extends the life of the garments. By providing vintage, you enable others to choose to reuse and to be part of a system shift.
The market has previously collaborated with the organization Fashion Revolution, Sysav, Malmö Miljöförvaltning and Naturskyddsföreningen.

The community
Together we support each other & learn from each other. Through the seller's forum, you have the opportunity to get tips and advice when preparing for the market and also during the market. You simply become a better seller by participating.
The design
"Everything is so neat and well organized", that's what the sellers usually say. And it's no coincidence, as the organizer of the fair I spend a lot of time on each text and each image to make everything neat and easy to understand.
It's not an exaggeration to say that you get a marketing agency in the bargain when you join us as a seller.
08
It's personal
The online market is a niche market with maximum 30 selected sellers. This means that I, as an organizer, can take time for each of the sellers who are involved. Both me and the sellers are dedicated vintage collectors and history geeks, which are very strong unifying interests.

When you run a vintage shop located in Åhus where many people come for Easter and summer, but where it's more quiet the rest of the year, it is good to be part of a digital market. Then you reach buyers from all over Sweden and Denmark. And it's also great marketing!

What is a presentation? I will make a post on the market's account with a picture of you / what you sell and a text that presents you. When you join as a seller, I ask you to submit a picture and description, which I will work from. On https://www.instagram.com/dejavuvintagemarknad/ you can see examples of presentations from previous markets.
Is my age of any importace to be able to sell on the online market? No! On the contrary, the market's sales team has gotten older since we started with online markets(!) The technique is not difficult to learn and you get some support from me. Online selling also has the advantage that you don't have to pack everything, travel a long way, and then stand up and sell for a whole weekend. You do everything from home, you can prepare everything before and thus make the sale at your own pace.
What is the Seller Forum? It is a hidden Facebook group for sellers only, you who are a seller will be invited here. It is our backstage living room where we can ask questions, discuss, share information and knowledge and encourage each other! I will gear up furter this market in terms of supporting you in your preparations for the market. Like sharing templates and setting time frames for preparation steps like photo, writing post texts, doing preview, etc.
Preview- what's that? To build up customer expectations, I encourage you as a seller to work with previews. This means that you post a group picture of things you will sell in advance. You tell what time you will post the sales posts and give buyers the opportunity to get tagged. I also share premium sellers' previews on the market's IG account.
How does a Live Broadcast on Instagram work? During opening hours, live broadcasts are held by sellers. If you have a premium package, you can schedule a time for a live broadcast. The complete schedule with all Live broadcasts is published shortly before the market on the market's IG account. In the seller forum we will go through how to broadcast Live.
How does a moderated Live broadcast work? It's not uncommon for those who haven't broadcasted a Live before to find it difficult. But the sellers who have tryed it think it's a great sales tool. You can add the option "moderated live broadcast" to both the basic and premium packages. Then I will help you prepare for the live broadcast, and during the broadcast, I moderate the chat and keep the conversation going. The live broadcast is visible both via your IG account and the market account, which means at least double exposure. The live broadcast is saved on the market's account where it is easily accessible for buyers to see afterwards.
How do I use sub-hashtags? To help the customer to easily find the decade they are looking for, clothes in a certain size, etc. we have a number of sub-hashtags, For example, #dejavuonlinevintage2340s #dejavuonlinevintage23M. A full sub-hashtag list will be shared in the seller forum and on the marketplace's IG account.
