QVM Traders are able to take advantage of a special $500 marketing
subsidy for their stall. There are rules and conditions but it is all pretty
straight forward and the subsidy can be used to assist with the cost of things
like business cards and carry bags.
Trader Xenia has used this facility to subsidise the cost of
her perfectly purple carry bags and her business cards as shown in our photo.
There may be other uses for the subsidy and you are
encouraged to contact the market office. Here is the blurb from the QVM Traders
Hub website –
The
Cooperative Marketing Program allows for traders to apply for a monetary
contribution for their marketing exercises. To be eligible to apply, the Queen
Victoria Market logo and trading hours must be shown on all items produced.
This could be shopping bags, business cards, print advertising etc. The
contribution is up to 50% of the production cost up to a maximum contribution
of $500 per trader per financial year. Please note that prior participation in
the co-op program does not grant automatic participation the following year.
