SINULOG 2009 Bazaar participants along Osmeña Blvd. are putting their hopes on this weekend’s festivities to increase their revenues and make up for last month’s low sales.

Among them is Glenn Baratbate, proprietor of Davao-based t-shirt printing business called Xtreme Designs that has been participating in the annual bazaar for four consecutive years.

Compared to the previous years, Baratbate said his stall had experienced low sales since it opened on Dec. 1, 2008. Xtreme Designs’ stall pays P70,000 as rent for the two-month Sinulog Bazaar.

He said he used to earn an average of P10,000 a day, especially during Christmas and Sinulog. Nowadays, he earns only about P3,000 a day.

He said the low sales turnout could be blamed more on the presence of the night market in Colon rather than the impact of the global financial crisis on consumers.

“Instead of buyers coming here, they will go straight there (Colon) because of its accessibility and the presence of neighboring establishments,” he said.

Baratbate also cited competition among vendors at the Sinulog Foundation Inc.-sponsored bazaar where there are at least five t-shirt printers.

He said that his best sales was in 2007, during the Association of South East Asian Nations summit, due to the high influx of tourists coming to buy various souvenir items.

Xtreme Designs sells t-shirts and novelty products with original designs. It offers various services, like t-shirt printing, desktop publishing and tarpaulin printing, among others.

The prices of its t-shirts with “ordinary” designs would range from P130 for women to P150 for men while garments with “metallic” designs cost P180 for women and P200 for men.

“We did not increase the prices even when the cost of our equipment increased because we still want to offer affordable and quality shirts,” Baratbate said.

He and his staff, hoping for bigger sales over the weekend, are already stocking up their shelves in time for the Sinulog Festival.

Like Baratbate, Jenny Solmayor who sells shoes, also attributed this year’s low sales to competition and to sidewalk vendors who are not renting but would find spaces near the bazaar to sell.

But Emma Aniñon believes the global financial crisis prompted consumers to become wise spenders.

Aniñon is selling native products and souvenir items at the Sinulog 2009 Bazaar for the first time, but she maintains a small stall near the Basilica del Sto. Niño.

This mother of five would earn P5,000 to P10,000 in sales from the two stalls toward Christmas and New Year. Now, she would be thankful to earn about P500 a day.

Locals would buy bracelets, necklaces and earrings while tourists would purchase souvenir items from her.

“I am still grateful for this space (along Osmeña Blvd.) since it would be hard for us to sell near the Basilica during the festival without people trampling on our products due to the thick crowd of devotees,” she said in Bisaya.

She added that she is looking forward to the Sinulog Festival on Sunday when a huge number of visitors are expected to participate in street parties and other activities along Osmeña Blvd.
