Talk To The Market Owner To Find Out the Rules

Make Nice Displays
Use tablecloths, baskets, step displays, or other similar items to display your goods. You do not want your tables to look flat. When you have a visually appealing table and
people will stop. It does not have to be fancy, but it should have some depth so that the eyes look at the different items when passing. -
Make Sure Everything Is Priced
People feel uncomfortable when they have to ask for prices. Make sure your products are marked clearly so that your visitors can make their decisions without feeling like they are a burden.

Think About Free Samples
Do you have a really good crop of melons this year? Cut one into small pieces so your visitors can try it before buying. Farmer’s market vendors that offer free samples see their products moving faster than other vendors who do not.

Be Friendly
This sounds like a silly tip, but it is important to remember. Too often, people become nervous when they set up their stand and stand quietly in their vendor booth while people look around. Start a conversation, and ask if there is anything you can help them find. Compliment them on their shirt. Whatever it takes to break the silence. They will be more apt to buy if they feel like you are friendly.

Be Prepared For Your Day
You are going to be working outside at your booth all day. Make sure you have a bunch of water to drink, snacks to keep you going, sunscreen, and sun-protective clothing. Nothing can ruin your day more than feeling sick or having a headache because you are overheated, thirsty, or need a bite to eat.
