Hi I'm doing the local farmers market and setting up booth under a canopy. I did the same market last fall and enjoyed it. I was just looking for some great setup ideas and some ideas of how to display my products better. I have a 6 ft table and card table that I use and the PC banner goes on the front of the long table.

I'm not so good at the decorating part so any suggestions would be great! I want to have enough stuff out but not too much so that it looks cluttered. Any tips would be great! Pictures are always a bonus too. You can e-mail any photos you have to me at [email protected]

Thanks in advance!
 
I would also like to know more about this

I would love to spend time at the Farmers Market selling products

:chef:
 
bumping this up - spring is a great time for Farmers Markets!:thumbup:
 
I have been using old produce crates that I have gotten at antique stores for not hardly anything. I will upload some pictures of some booths that I have done.

I would take just what you need, because it always seems that it takes so long for us to set up and then tear down. I have gone thru all of my stuff and gotten it down to 4 tubs of stuff to take. I have been taken all of the stuff that would be in the starter kit for a new consultant, Help Whip Cancer stuff with it coming up and then a few extra's just for people to look at because I think that they display nice. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me an email or comment on here.

Hi Ashley,I love your display easel with specials etc!The one that is sitting on the ground with the apron is a cool idea. Do you have a clearer picture. I wouldn't mind using your ideas. Do you mind?Thanks,
Julie
 
I got the idea from someone else and just added some other things to it.

This is a close up of it at one of my booths. As soon as I unload the car tomorrow I will take a better closer one. I will tell you what I put on it.

Gift Registry Card that they get in the mail after registrying, Wedding shower planner, tri-fold brochure that has just the basic info in it about what we have to offer, clip art that I printed off and pasted on, Cook Up a Lifetime of Memories and put it on colored paper several different places on it, wedding shower invitation, the apron and then I put a couple of tools in the pocket and then another brochure in the pocket. It was very easy and love having it to draw attention to people. It has really helped at booths.

The display that is on the metal easel. What is on that one?
Something that I started making in December is the layered batter bowls. I sold 6o of them. My customer have encouraged me to make them for all occasions. I take them to trade shows etc. and I do very well. Check out my website under news for more info about them Welcome To My Personal Web SiteJulie
