TikTok fun boosts business for Swansea Market traders

Videos featuring a wide range of them – including fishmongers, butchers and greengrocers – have had 1.1 million views in the past year. 

That, in turn, is attracting new customers to the much-loved venue.

Wayne Holmes, chair of the Swansea Market Traders Federation, said: “Lots of incredible people who work in the market have been delighted to take part in these fun videos – dancing, preparing their goods, serving customers and just having fun.

“The films show that the market has lots of fantastic traders who help give thousands of customers a great experience.”

Lewis James, of The Powder Room, one of the market’s many stalls, said: “The videos have a positive effect on our trade.

“Many people see them on TikTok and come in shortly afterwards to enjoy shopping with us and at other stalls.

“They videos have led to other upbeat films being posted about the market by people with influential TikTok accounts.”

The venue – named Britain’s best large indoor market last year – is managed by Swansea Council which continues to make significant improvements there, with eye-catching new main entrances planned for this year. It’s a key feature of the city’s council-driven £1bn regeneration.

Council cabinet member and joint deputy leader David Hopkins said: “The traders’ TikTok videos are fantastic – they’re great fun and illustrate perfectly the human touch they all bring to the city centre.

“Swansea Market is a treasure that’s loved by many thousands of people; social media is helping to ensure that it remains a great place for future generations.

“We’re thrilled with the fantastic results. The involvement of the traders has been key to its success – and I’m sure there’ll be many more to come.”

The videos are being created by Swansea-based creative agency reTHINK PR and Marketing.

The first went out in March last year. The market’s TikTok account now has more than 6,400 followers and has had more than 46,300 “likes”, outstripping a similar account run by London’s world-renowned Borough Market.

The market’s TikTok content is proving to be especially useful in reaching young adults. If you have a TikTok account you can see the videos by following @swansea.market.

1. A post from user Calixthe (@calixthe.blue-ocean.social) from 56 minutes ago making serious accusations, saying: "Stop being an inveterate racist trying to assign fault to me because I pointed out your racism. You are the one using the rapist as a REASON to be a racist. You don't care about RAPE or RAPE VICTIMS or DEAD SENIORS. You are just dragging their corpses along for your BS psychopathology nonsense."

2. Below that is a note indicating "[Removed by author]" in a gray box, suggesting a deleted response.

Sometimes it's easier to say you hate Black people and GO. No one cares about you PRETENDING to care about anything because you're ONLY using it as a reason to attack Black Americans. You are an inveterate racist incapable of reading the room. Once again LEAVE BLACK PEOPLE ALONE #BlackSky #NotLikeUs

Main post text:
"Stop protecting sex criminals who covered up senior deaths. You are being misogynist just like Trump and you are supporting rape culture."

This post is quoting another post from a user named "Calixthe" (@calixthe.blue-ocean.social) from 21 hours ago that reads:
"Trying to red herring your way out of this won't work on me. I studied logic in the 7th grade. I have no problem staying on topic: Stop behaving in the way that prompted this response aka STOP BEING RACIST, condescending & superior. No one cares what you're protesting about when you're being racist💅"

This quoted post also includes an embedded screenshot of a tweet from "Elie Mystal" (@ElieNYC) that discusses how white audiences seek out racist and misogynistic content rather than being tricked into consuming it, specifically mentioning Trump, Rogan, and Tucker as examples.

Looking at the previous image, the text from Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) reads:

"At some point, this country is going to have to reckon with the fact that a lot of white people *like* listening to racist, misogynist dickheads telling them what they want to hear. Like, the problem is not really the racist, misogynist dickhead. The problem is THEIR AUDIENCE.

Everybody wants to pretend that people who listen to Trump, Rogan, TuckerThis is a screenshot of a social media reply post on what appears to be BlueSky. The interface has a light background with dark text.

"If you "studied logic in 7th grade" you might know that it doesn't help to post examples that actually make you look bad, and your opponent look good.

Like, don't do misogyny and then post a tweet that criticizes misogyny."
