A large, attractive chalkboard or individual price tags for each container of produce is welcomed, especially for shoppers new to the market or new to your stand. Develop a kit that comes to market with you. Rubber bands or whatever you will be using to bunch products like radishes come in handy. A pad of note paper for jotting down new marketing ideas or special order requests from customers, or to give your name and phone number to a customer. Bags Always be on the lookout for bags, of all sizes.
Many customers are glad to return or donate their paper and plastic grocery bags.
Always express your gratitude while accepting them, as there will be a time you'll run out of bags. Check out your community recycling center for an endless source of bags. Seedling flats may be bagged two to a shopping bag, but trays made from cardboard boxes are more efficient at transporting large numbers of seedlings. However, trays can take up a lot of space in your vehicle. Having a cash box for bringing all your bills and change to market keeps everything centralized and orderly.
