Ep. 26 Market 101 Series - What do you need to set up?

Happy Wednesday! In this fifth episode of the Market Series 101, we talk about your market setup, what do you need? From the very basics like a table and chairs to the fun details that make your booth stand out, we have a list of must-haves (see below)! Of course, in the episode, we explain the reason behind each item and give you advice on what to think through with each item. For instance, a tablecloth may just be a tablecloth but long enough, it provides you with storage space for extra stock.

If you're looking for the shortlist, here's what you need:

- Find out how much space you have;

- Basics: Table, table cloth, chair, tent + tent weights;

- Choose your display: Crates, shelves;

- Use baskets, clothing racks, and small shelving units (be creative, you can even build small displays);

- Have mirrors, two or more;

- You NEED a sign with the name of your business;

- If you sell hats, you NEED a mannequin head (it doesn't have to be expensive);

- Price tags and/or pricing signage is a MUST;

- Business cards + business card holders are also super important if you're looking to make extra after-the-market sales;

- You should have a sign indicating what forms of payment you take and the means to actually accept those payments;

- Anything extra to make your space cute/on brand such as battery-operated light strings, helium balloons, etc.
