Signage

  • Name the quality, then describe what it means to the customer.
  • How do you use it? What is it good with? 


Pile It High, Make It Look Good

There's a bit of an art to arranging your wares and booth at the market. Overflowing, gorgeously colorful baskets and bins will entice customers to your booth. Piddly-looking, half-filled containers are not as attractive. Think about how you can make your booth inviting and friendly. Smile when you're behind the table. Be available to customers -- don't have your nose in a book or stare down at your knitting.
You want customers to be able to browse without making a commitment, and to be able to choose the particular food they want. Make clear what you have available.
