Market stalls are tricky. You can't just rock up with a suitcase full of handmade goods and dreams, and hope that it'll all turn out peachy.
Market stalls are tricky. You can't just rock up with a suitcase full of handmade goods and dreams, and hope that it'll all turn out peachy. Whether it's in the carpark of your local supermarket on a Sunday morning, or a fancy trade fair showing on a Saturday afternoon, there are a few tricks of the trade you can follow to make sure you're not lugging a full suitcase back to your car at the end of the day.
Design blogger extrodinaires My Poppet and The Haby Goddess have teamed up to write an e-book, The Craft Of Markets. Not only does it get down to the basics of which markets you should choose for what purpose and submitting applications, but also visual merchandising, marketing strategies, pricing and much more. They have decades of market experience between them, and have gone to some of Australia's biggest market organisers to ask their advice too. It also answers a lot of deep-dark questions such as 'standing or sitting behind the booth?', 'marked prices or bartering?' and 'lollies for children: good-natured, or ultra-creepy?'
