All logistics and marketing activities are set for Baratillo!

Four days to go and its Baratillo sa UP time!

Logistics activities are done. Extra security: booked. Tables and chairs: booked and for delivery on Wednesday. Sound system: all set. All we have to do is the actual setup on Wednesday.

Marketing Activities: Flyers have been delivered and most have been dispatched to UP (clap! clap!). The only places we need to give out to which we weren't able to give out during the last bazaar is the San Vicente Community near Philcoa and the offices along C.P. Garcia (I counted around 4 offices around the area). The flyers have been dispatched to the dorms and colleges and other offices in UP already. The banner is also up in ISSI, though I would have to put up another banner along the road. I'll be adding additional posters and directional signages come Tuesday and Wednesday to replenish the ones that got lost amongst the many posters in the waiting sheds that get posted everyday. Will also leave some in the MRT - Q Avenue and the LRT - Katipunan.

We are now in the last leg of getting last-minute bookings of concessionaires. To those who still want to make a booking, now's your chance. We still have a few slots left. We will be seeing a lot of the previous concessionaires (less the ones who will be in world trade on dec 4 though). We're expecting more at at least the same number of people in the Bazaar for All Seasons, so nows your chance to make some new shopper-friends! :-)

See you soon!

Baratillo sa UP 2009

We're coming up with another bazaar this December! And yes its still within the UP Diliman Campus Grounds, now it will be held at the UP Institute of Small Scale Industries (Virata Hall) or UP ISSI for short. Its on December 3 to 5, 2009 (Thursday to Saturday). Some of the concessionaires from the Bazaar for all Seasons will be there too, we will be announcing some of them in the next few posts, so you can more or less appreciate what to look out for in the upcoming bazaar.

As an update, the flyers (design below) are already on production courtesy of Jardis Printing, and we will be giving these out to the UP buildings and around campus including the residents, by next week. Tarpaulin streamers are also under production, we hope to have these out on the week of the bazaar. Posters are also posted along waiting sheds around the acad oval, and we will be replenishing these every couple of days (yes, because they tend to get lost), and we will also be putting up arrow posters during the bazaar days.


Announcements are also up in Sulit, villoria.net, and soon to be up in Facebook and other online sites as well. Watch out for that.

UP Bazaar for All Seasons - November 5-7, 2009

The Bazaar for All Seasons: A Grand UP Bazaar, held last November 5 to 7, 2009 was a huge success. Seller-wise, we had 69 concessionaires out of 72 available slots. And the variety of goods sold in the bazaar was also very good, the items sold were unique, and there were a lot of novelty items you don't find at the common bazaars or tiangges out there. It was really a good sight to see. As far as the crowd goes, on the other hand, there was a good number of shoppers on all days, though the heaviest day was still Saturday, where even the parking lot around the area of the UP theater and the Film Center were also occupied.

Below are the pics from the bazaar! Hope everyone had as grand a time as we had!
