  Speaker 1: market day.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially at market day. You go, we have a
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: school fete or whatever, market day, and please come and
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: support it for the kids.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Market day, what I love, usually happens during school hours.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It's very rare that you find schools doing a market
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: day on a Saturday.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, otherwise we'd be there more often.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I think that's why they have it on a Saturday.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: During school hours, Frankie, so you don't come and.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I want to go and taste everything.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Finish the donuts. But then everyone has had some sort
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of entrepreneurial stint at school. When it was your market day,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: what did you sell and did it do well? And guys,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it's okay. Hey, this is no time to be a hero.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: If you came and you were selling marbles and no
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: one bought a single marble, that's okay. You can tell us.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, can I go first? I'll go first for
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you if you want to know. I remember it very clearly.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: It was 1996. And then I decided we were going
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to make lip ice. make lapis yeah yeah so we
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: got there no this was a venture of note Elon
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Musk stand back so we got the ingredients and then
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we made the lapises right but it was proper like
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: little it was proper and then we got to school
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and we were so proud and we set up a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: little market there it was me and a mate of
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: mine set up the little market and then some other
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: dude's mom because McDonald's had just come to the country
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: some other dude's mom went and just to McDonald's drive
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: through and just bought like a hundred cheeseburgers and then
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: That sold out instantly.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That was enough grease for people to put on their lips.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Everyone spent their money there. And then no one.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: No one had money for lip ice.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: So I sat with like a hundred little tubs of
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: lip ice.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And this is why you do the show with us. Exactly.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, sorry. My brother had a sweets business, not me,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: because I always knew I didn't have the self-respect. Or
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: the restraint, rather. Sold those sweets, guys, for two days, eh?
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: which had all the profits by day two. So you
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: couldn't restock.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you should never sell something that you yourself like.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Although one year I did sell donuts at the school.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Did very well. Also different to the stock of it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Profit margin is questionable.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But you need to be able to answer the questions
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: when people ask you, what does that donut taste like?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So I was well researched. 011-8838-947. You can talk about
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: your little ones. You can talk about yourself, little ones.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Give us a ring. What is the thing to sell
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: at market day right now? What is the one thing
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that would fly? And they do well.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: If you're planning one, what are you planning on doing?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Are you going to create arts and crafts at home?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Are you doing little bracelets?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Very, very risky arts and crafts and bracelets. I'm just
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: going to say it right now, very risky. I think
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: be like the kid who just bought McDonald's to school
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and sent a certified McDonald's reseller is what you should
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: be doing. Yeah, think back to your last market day
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at your school. What was the top seller? When did
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you sell something and it flopped spectacularly that the next
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: day you just said, you know what, we're going to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: go that way.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not going to do that again. And obviously
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: for the parents, because everyone's involved in market day, you're
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: also there. Shopping, putting things together, helping with market day.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And then I want to know, what do the profit
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: splits go like? Do you have to give the profits
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to the school? Do you keep it?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I can only speak from my experience with my kids,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: which is the school keeps the profits. But that's fine
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: because it actually goes to charity, a lot of it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: My name is Charity.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: No it's part of a project so they don't just
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: have a market day just for funds they do it
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: as part of I think it's business or one of
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: those subjects and then it leads over into English because
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: they've got to design a poster and then what did
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you learn like it's a whole collaborative over the year
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: experience in the business and everything so the profits yeah
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: some of it does go to the school because the
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: school's got a set up and everything and then a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: lot of it goes to charity.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Okay top of your mind what was the best seller
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that your kids have ever.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Done Well, not my kids, but what always sells well
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: is a thing called a balloon baby. This is the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: craziest thing, but it sells. Somebody takes a balloon and
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: fills it up with water and puts a baby's nappy
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: on it, like a newborn baby nappy, and you draw
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a face on it. And the girls love it, and
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: they carry it around like a little balloon baby, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: then they all take a.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Balloon baby home. How much is that going for?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: It used to be cheap, but now nappies have gone
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: up apparently. So those things go for around $ 20. My kids,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I always knew if there was market day, I'd come
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: home to grandchildren, little balloon babies in the bath. Because
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: they're not allowed to have them in the house.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Because they might pop.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: They put them in the bath.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: And then when they were little, they used to push
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: them around in a pram. It sells, guys. You know
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: what the thing with a market day is? You actually
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: don't know what the thing is. Because last year we
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: had a Valentine's Day table, which is the table where
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: they sell stuff for Valentine's Day to raise money for
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the matric dance. Guys, lip gloss. There was this random
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: lip gloss that a mom brought.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: From one of those China malls.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: We were literally going to every China mall we could
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: find to try and get the same because the little
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: ones were like, we want that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Lip gloss.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: And then the headmistress said, you know, she just stood
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: up in assembly and she looked down and all the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: girls had this red stain all the way around their lips,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the little grey ones.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Well, is it a balloon, baby? Is it lip gloss?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Is it live ice? What is the top seller at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: market day at your school? Were you top of the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: pubs on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange because of that little
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: market stand that you started at your school? Ring us
• 5:43

• 5:46
  Speaker 6: I did my first market day in grade three at
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Pinnacle College. I sold popcorn and sherbets and I sold
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: out everything.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: My son had Entrepreneur's Day two weeks back and I
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: made quarters.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Made 50 of those. They sold out.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: He called from the principal's office asking if I could
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: make more.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, I didn't have the time.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Squishy dumplings, butter squishies and kneaders.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I sold cool drink and hot dogs and yeah, everything
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: sold out eventually.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Hi, Auntie Anelia and the club. My name is Bokang
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: and the most thing, the most, one of the things
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: that go out on market day is nail polish.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yo, the nail polish. Bye. Guys, we are learning a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: lot here.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Is it because the kids are only allowed to put
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: nail polish on during market day?
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: That is wild.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: It's just one kid buys something and then everybody goes, oh,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: that's the thing. And then I promise you, you cannot
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: put your finger on it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You just never know. Here's the thing about the kid
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: who called the mom from the principal's office. That's when
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you know you have financial success. When you're calling the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: bank manager's office, you can't be out here with the tellers.

  Speaker 1: It was actually featured on my school top five.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: Every child that was walking around had candy floss and slime.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I think those were the two. It's definitely popping boba.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: When they sell it and, like, it has Sprite and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: syrup and then you put the boba inside. Or when, like,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the boys, they bring their PlayStations and their TVs and stuff.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: All the boys go crazy.
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: If you want your table to sell out, just check
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: what Koki is buying.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Okay. Okay, Koki. Koki, what's happening there in Kempton Park?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: What's your stall selling, madam? We've got Elaine in the vault.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: Morning, guys.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Morning.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: We are absolutely curious. If I retire next week, you
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: guys know I'm going to open a store. Hey, thanks
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to all this information. What are the kids selling? What
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: are they buying?
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: We took it back to our school nostalgia. So every
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: year we just go to the China center. in Edenvale
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: and we buy like a whole bunch of spinning tops.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: So it's like zero effort basically.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: The one with the rope or the one that you
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: twist like that?
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: No, the one with the rope, like old school.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Old school.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Is the spinning top Inception?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: And then, because everyone... Even kids like to gamble. On
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: the side, we run like a little competition. So if
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: you can spin your top the longest, then they win
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: like a special top at the end of the day
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: or something like that. So extra free money.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Elaine, for the purposes of this exercise, we'll call it gaming.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: If there's no money involved, okay.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that's cool. So then you go there and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you're like, it's going to spin for 18 seconds and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you stand back and stand by.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so you just take a little stopwatch and then
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: you basically, you're selling nothing.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: Because it's just one prize at the end of the day.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. That's what you're doing. You're selling. And guys, that's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: how you make money.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: You sell nothing.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: You sell nothing. And you charge a fortune. You charge
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a fortune.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And that's how you move to Houghton. Andrea, good morning.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Morning, Annalena Club.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Morning.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: How are you, Andrea?
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Good, thank you. So I actually have a story to
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: tell you about when I was in school and an
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: entrepreneur's day that me and my sister used to do.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: My mom always put in the most effort and made
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: like the most delicious chocolate cake every single market day
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: we had at school.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, that must have been a hit.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Listen, yeah, it was a hit. But let me tell you,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: not with the children. We sold out to the cleaning ladies.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, tea time. Anytime is tea time. That's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: where the saying comes from.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: I can't tell you whether it was because the cake
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: was so delicious or if they just felt sorry for
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: us that none of the kids are buying from us.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: But either way, we sold out.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: So the kids moved past the chocolate cake and went
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to the next thing, eh?
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: 100%.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: They just like side-eyed the cake and then go to
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: the next store that sold the cold drinks and the
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: toys and everything.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But this is the thing. If you had to now
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: sit down and ask yourself a question, what do kids want?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Chocolate cake is definitely something that I would consider. So
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it's wild to me that kids would not buy chocolate cake.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Well, I can tell you there was another kid that
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: sold live chicks, baby chicks.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I'm buying that. That's cool. Chickens.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Definitely.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: I bought, I took all of my market money and
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: I bought five chicks, took them home. Needless to say,
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: the parents were not happy. And after that, there was
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: a letter that was sent out to all the parents
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: to say no live animals to be sold on market day.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Because guys, when, okay, now when you take these five
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: chicks home, then what happens?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Then we watch them grow up.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And then, Exactly. And then, like, you must always ask yourself,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and then?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: But if there was, I feel sorry for you, Andrea,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: but both of us, and then myself, I can see
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: we understand.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: If there was live chickens, I'm buying them. I'm absolutely
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: buying them. Forget the chocolate cake. I have no idea
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: what these chicks are going to do to me tomorrow.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: But today, this very moment, I'm taking five of those
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: furry babies.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Back to making your morning. I love this show. On 947.
