Ep 284: Moving Your Market
Moving a market is not as simple as scooting a tent or two down the street (not that scooting any tents is without drama.) Sometimes you lose part of your site to a construction project, sometimes a conflicting annual event happens and you have to move the entire market for a day. Finding a new site that can accommodate an established event is a puzzle. You know where the driveways and trees and giant dumpsters are at your\xa0current\xa0location. What surprises will your replacement venue hold? And how will your shoppers and vendors know where to go?\xa0 \xa0 Listen in as Catt and Brijet discuss the ways they've found to ease the pain as much as possible, while you're away from your home sweet home site, with tips on: \xa0 \u2022 Identifying a replacement site\xa0 \u2022 Surveying neighboring businesses\xa0and residents \u2022 Mapping to minimize disruption for your vendors \u2022 What wedding seating plans and market maps have in common \u2022 Timing your announcement\xa0to avoid confusion \u2022 Keeping regular\xa0shoppers in the loop and attracting new ones \xa0 This episode of Tent Talk is supported by Square, helping farmers, vendors and market managers process payments and invoicing in the tents and at the desk.
