What to Bring to a DVD Market

A DVD market needs more than stock and sales tables. Visitors need clear stall numbers, sellers need price stickers and payment materials, and buyers may want to test discs before purchasing. Plan the equipment around your layout: one table per seller, a clearly marked test area, and enough power equipment to reach every DVD player safely. This checklist also covers refreshments, packing materials and the small items that are often left until setup day.

Tips

Allow one foldable table and one chair for each seller, then add at least one spare table for registration, payment or refreshments. Confirm the final seller count before buying table coverings and booth numbers.
Set up one DVD test station for every two to four sellers, depending on the expected queue. Each station needs a DVD player, screen, extension cord and power strip; test every player before doors open.
Prepare price stickers, pens, clipboards and calculators at least one day before the market. Keep a separate cash receipt book and cash register for each payment point so sales do not get mixed together.
Bring cardboard moving boxes or plastic containers for sellers to transport and store DVDs. Label empty boxes clearly so buyers do not mistake them for stock during the market.
For a refreshment table, provide separate coffee cups, reusable cups, plates and cutlery, plus coffee machines and kettles. Place cable reels and extension cords where they cannot cross visitor routes, and check the power supply before decorating.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need for a DVD market?: Bring tables, chairs, display racks or table displays, containers, tablecloths, booth numbers and directional signs. You will also need DVD players and screens for test stations, payment materials, packing boxes and refreshment supplies.
How many tables do I need for a DVD market?: Plan one sales table per participating seller, plus at least one extra table for registration, payment or refreshments. Confirm the seller list before finalising the quantity, and keep one spare table available if space allows.
How many DVD test stations should I set up?: A practical starting point is one test station for every two to four sellers. Each station needs a DVD player, screen, extension cord and power strip; test them at least one day before the market.
When should I prepare the DVD market shopping list?: Finalise the list at least one week before the market, once seller numbers and the venue layout are known. Buy or collect payment materials, signage and power equipment no later than the day before setup.
