Helpful Vendor Tips Just for You!
Monthly article contribution by Gayle Emberstone, social media admin
Save your ankles, knees & back!
Are you a Farmers market vendor? Do you use table risers? If you don’t this is an amazing simple investment you can do to bring in customers. Did you know that even having your table raised by 4 inches it helps catch customers eyes!
Also, it’s easier for customers to look at your products and see them.
A great option for table risers is bed risers. Yep, you read that right - bed risers. These types of risers are perfect as they work for all folding table options and it doesn’t matter what type of folding table legs it is since the table legs are set on top of the risers. These are also super useful if you are doing a setup for your booth in a field or uneven ground. These types of risers help level it out.
And most packs come with 4 large and 4 small risers. Here is a picture for reference for you.
Save the ANKLES, KNEES AND BACKS!!!!
So many of us vendors do our shows on concrete or asphalt surfaces. These types of surfaces can cause issues for your body with in just a few hours. Most of us have gel floor mats in our kitchens to help us while we cook and create in our kitchens. Pro tip!!! Take that mat with you on your next show to use in your booth. Your knees and back will love you and so will your ankles!
