Flea market community and news site launches at FleaMarketZone.com

Business Website offers daily news, how-to articles, hot product and supplier features, reader forums, and a directory of thousands of U.S. flea markets and swap meets.

FleaMarketZone.com is the new Web destination for the flea market and swap meet business community. Designed to offer daily flea market news, advice, and hot product information, the site is rich with facts, photos, and forums for wholesalers, vendors, and swap meet owners and managers. The site is being launched by Sumner Communications, publisher of three flea market and swap meet business magazines-East Coast Merchandiser, Midwest Merchandiser, and Western Merchandiser.

"There is nothing else like FleaMarketZone.com. The site offers not only news and information, product sourcing, and the most up-to-date flea market directory in the industry, but also a social networking arena offering real-time communication for vendors, suppliers, and flea market owners and managers," says Merchandiser Group publisher Scott Steele.

Every business day, FleaMarketZone.com (http://fleamarketzone.com) reports breaking stories on market openings and closures, personalities, legislation, attractions, research and more. How-to articles cover topics including spotting counterfeit currency, opening a new market, and getting a flea market business on a local TV news program. Product and supplier features keep readers in touch with sales trends and retail best practices. The site also features a comprehensive directory of U.S. flea markets and swap meets. Visitors can watch flea market videos, search among 600,000 wholesale products and connect on flea market message boards.

"The Website will be a great resource for our members," comments National Flea Market Association president Jeff Mann, owner of Raynham Flea Market in Massachusetts. "The NFMA has had a long-standing relationship with Sumner Communications, Merchandiser Group magazines and the Official Guide to Active Flea Markets and Swap Meets, and we see FleaMarketZone.com as taking it to the next level."
