Flea market community and news site launches at FleaMarketZone.com Bethel, CT, February 25, 2010 – 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 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.
