What I Take To Craft & Art Markets
A little update on market essentials
Last year I did 14 market days, which is the most markets I have done in a single year. I changed my table setup at pretty much every market. Some things remained the same, some changed. Doing all these markets meant I got to learn what products sold best, what products should be more prominently displayed etc., so I thought I'd just do a bit of a round up of what I take, some essentials and more - basically a bit of an update to this post I did last year:

For your table
First up, I'm going to go over the things I need for my stall setup, so all the things the customer will see and interact with.
Products
The most important part and the reason you're doing a market is to sell your products. I'd recommend having an array of product types, with different price points, but without having too much that it might confuse customers. It's always good to mix it up as well, so if you take some products to a market and they don't sell, maybe take another product or more of one that sold well to the next. Having said that, no two market is the same in my experience! There are some products that I know I will generally sell at most markets, but others it does vary quite a lot.
