What Should You Not Do at a Local Farmers Market?
When selling at a farmers market, small business owners should avoid doing the following:
Not bringing enough products to sell, which can result in lost sales and customers. It’s better to have too much product than not enough.
Not being prepared for bad weather can ruin your products and lead to lost sales. Always have a plan in place for bad weather, such as tarps and heat lamps.
Not having a way to accept credit cards, which can lead to lost sales. Customers are more likely to spend money if they can use a credit card.
Not being friendly and engaging with customers can lead to lost sales. Customers are more likely to buy from someone they like and trust.
Not setting up a booth or table in a prominent location. This will ensure that customers don’t see your products.
