About Us

We are a 100% Australian owned and operated company providing an online directory that offers those interested in finding Weekend Markets a list of all such markets that are available in their vicinity. We offer benefits to both users and organizers of weekend or Sunday markets throughout Australia, and if you are a stall-holder we are shortly to offer you the opportunity to have your stall included on our directory.

Our directory offers the following benefits to users seeking a weekend or Sunday market in their locality:

  • Enter the postcode or suburb name and hit search for a list of local markets.
  • They can seek markets over a period from this weekend to a month hence.
  • Markets identified with map coordinates.
  • An online market calendar, browsable with links to market listing pages.
  • All links are specific to any dates stated in the search.
  • Market calendars can be browsed forward or backward by month.
  • All content published on the directory has been pre-approved, so spam is avoided.

Many markets restrict their online advertising to their own website pages, but this is very restrictive in that potential visitors have to be aware of the market before they find it. If they use a search engine such as Google to find Sunday markets, they may have a long list from which to choose and give yours a miss.

The listing position of any market in a search engine such as Google is determined by a large number of factors - over 200 of them - and only well optimized web pages will be listed in a position with sufficient prominence to bring them to the attention of the potential visitor. Online exposure is dependent upon a combination of factor, the major of which are good SEO, good relevant links back to the site from others and also good advertising, particularly through the use of article marketing. We excel with each of these.

By registering with an online market directory such as ours you have the benefit of our search engine optimization expertise in attaining a prominent listing position in the Australian version of each search engine (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask). Potential visitors can then search for a list of markets by entering their city, suburb or postcode, and also specify preferred time scales over which they are able to visit.

They will be provided with a list of weekend markets in their locality that suit their dates, and if they prefer just a Sunday market then this can also be specified in their search. Some markets are mid-week, and we do not restrict ourselves just to weekends.

Advantages of an Online Sunday Market Directory

An online Sunday market directory offers several advantages to market organizers:

  1. Increased numbers of visitors due to improved online advertising. Not only is your weekend market listed on a web page well optimized for search engines such as Google and Yahoo, but we also invest in advertising that brings the rewards expected of a professionally maintained website.
  2. Ease of use enables visitors to pinpoint the weekend and Sunday markets they are able to attend, and so you are liable to receive visitors that would not otherwise have found you.
  3. Users of the search facility can find what markets are available to them over certain time periods. Our search box allows visitors to seek for markets during the coming week, the following weekend, over a two week period or even seek markets a month hence. If they are shortly going on vacation in Australia from Melbourne to Brisbane, for example, they can find what markets are open in Brisbane next month and plan accordingly.

These benefits are worth a lot more than most stallholders and market managers generally understand, because there are many people for whom a regular market visit is a must, and for some it is, in fact, the highlight of their week - possibly even of their vacation.

As you know, Australian Sunday markets are particularly interesting to visit, especially for visitors to the country, and those here on vacation can go home perfectly happy with bags of home-made soaps, candles, necklaces, clothes for their children and even paintings by local artists as gifts for their families, and often buy local produce to get a flavour for the local honey, strawberries or those gorgeous Australian cherries and plums.

There are no doubts whatsoever that Australian weekend or Sunday markets are popular, so why not make sure that you attract as many visitors as possible to yours every week with a listing on our directory that is sure to get good online exposure, and lots of people looking for the closest weekend market to their home or vacation residence.

You have lot to gain by including your market in our online market directory, so visit our registration page to get started.
