Hi everyone, I thought it might be valuable to chat a little bit about the market (and to help get the ball rolling on the discussion page)!

Some notes I had taken down during the market were:

• Getting LED lighting would make our glassware and jewelry really glow. I saw a few jewelry vendors had this set up and it made their product look so much better.
• The free soap with $20 purchase really worked well from what I saw, several people I had spoken to went from wavering about a purchase to buying after I mentioned it.
• It felt like people really enjoyed the story behind items, which makes sense as it would make for a more interesting present. I wonder if it would be effective to have a small card with each bunch of items talking about the origins of it.
• I felt that the signage for the event was pretty weak, there wasn't even anything on 109th street on the way to the event. Maybe they put something out later in the day, but even on the building itself there was no banner, just a few posters that were coming loose in the wind!
• It felt like having at least one person selling items and another person on the other side of the table talking to people about the organization is a great dynamic. It pulled people in and kept them there, making them look at the items and realize they were supporting a great organization!
• Someone asked about the availability of items after the market. Have we ever done lots of sales outside of events?

I'd really like to hear from you all!

Cheers,

Evan
