66 Crafty Business Ideas for Sunday Soul Sante

I’m a big fan of concepts like flea market, barter groups and second to none. If you’re in Bangalore, there’s one flea market which has no rivals – Sunday Soul Sante. When I first visited this community flea market at Palace Grounds, I was mesmerized by the spirit of business, especially the lady power.

Credit should go to the founders of this movement. I feel the same kind of concept should be taken to other cities like Trivandrum, Cochin, Hyderabad, Calcutta,etc.

The only complain I have about these events is the dearth of ideas. If you are a regular visitor to Sunday Soul Sante, then you’ll know it for real. Most the stalls are repetitive – T shirt design, Hand made jewellery, soups, organic stuffs, twisted glass bottles, colourful photo frames. There are only few new ideas in each event, rest it’s kind of repetitive or copied straight from Pinterest.

This got me thinking of adding new variations to the Soul Sante idea seekers. I thought of sharing what ever I come across on the Internet and some which comes to my jagged mind.

1) Designer Coat Hangers

I saw this image while browsing for ideas to cut stress. This image got me thinking of some invention you can try for your next flea market stall. All it requires in cool designs made of different materials ( aluminium, steel, wood). Check out for more ideas on Pinterest.

2) Designer Umbrella 

I think this idea is already done. But there’s more room for innovation. Why don’t you have one person who will do instant paint based on the customer’s choice. Or let the visitors see how an artist paints on the umbrella. All this and more adds to the curiosity factor of your stall.

 
3) Unique Shaped Soaps

In one of the Sunday Soul Sante held at Whitefield I went to a stall selling handmade soups. The soap designs kept in the store was very predictable stuff. Some where car design and similar boring stuffs. I asked the guy manning the store for crazy or naughty designs. The shop keeper probably misunderstood or didn’t understand the scenario.
