How to have a fantastic display!


some great displays to inspire you




A few of you have asked about displaying at markets, so I've found a few important points to consider when organising your table:
  • Create a banner with the name of your business

  • use labels & packaging on your goods

  • create different heights on your table, especially at eye level

  • Plan out your stall before market day to make sure it's inviting!

  • Don't take it too seriously and add quirky touches that will make people stop and have a look and a chat

  • Have marketing materials on your table, i.e. business cards or flyers etc! Something so that people know who you are!

There is heaps of info on etsy re displays, so take a look

Change in market times

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to let you know that market times have changed from 10am-3pm (rather than 9-2pm). Many stallholders have suggested that starting a bit later would be better to allow travel to the market and also most marketgoers won't make it till 10 anyway on a Sunday! This definitely makes sense! I'm sure you'll all be happy with a bit of a sleep-in!
