Like every flea market they have the ways that keep their flea market going. They have their targeted audiences which is the cowdray park community. They said they are targeting this community because many people do not like going to go to town due to distance and sometimes of transport problems.

People then prefer buying in the local flea markets in order to serve energy and transport money. Many people buy there because they try by all means to match clothes sold in town with those sold in local flea market. A large number of customers come to buy in their squares due to the customer care service which they have.

They also said that they buy their staff in South Africa, Botswana and Mozambique. Business women in PATMA market always make sure that people buy "KHOTHAMA" clothes which everyone favours them due to their cheap prices.

They display the same way as other markets do in order to attract many customers. PATMA is a new Flea Market. Buiness women in that market make sure that they keep customers near them in order to make more profit in the business.

Challenges which they are facing are the issue of paying rent for the stands and also that the place is not yet clean to attract many customers in the industry.

Being the local market it has helped many unemployed business women to start their businesses and be able to pay rent and get food for the family. Youth have benefited as they are the most who run the Flea Market Business.
