Iguanadon Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Today was week 2 of the summer farmers market here in my town and although the crowd was small, I was over average in sales. I average 27 each week and today I sold 29 and the majority were my $25 items versus the $10/$15 kids dinosaurs which continue to sell well. Very happy. This week, I experimented with changing my table setup back to the way I used to have it with the tables along the front and sides so people walk "up to" instead of "in to" my booth. What a huge difference! Much more up close traffic and it paid off in sales on a slow day. I'm just bummed I didn't have this setup last Saturday when it was so crowded. Oh well, live and learn.

dgman Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Your set up works good when you have space on either side. I've done shows where you have a 10x10' space with no space between neighboring sellers. I have no choice to set up in a U configuration.

I know I'll be back to my inside "U" shape for those events, but fortunately they're rare compared to the events where I have some elbow room. I'll milk this set up for all it's worth at the farmers market the next 17 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 It's mostly about the presentation. If you can get them to stop, linger and talk to you you have a better chance on a sale. Glad you did well. DW Iguanadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
