Display That Sells
Farmers markets are packed with customers, but they’ll walk right past if your table doesn’t catch their eye. Here’s how to stand out and sell more — from fresh produce to handmade goods.
Start With the Right Table
Product Type | Ideal Table Size | Notes |
---|---|---|
Produce (Fruits/Vegetables) | 6-foot or 8-foot | Sturdy, easy to clean, can handle weight |
Baked Goods | 6-foot | Deep layout helps with packaging and samples |
Crafts or Soaps | 4-foot or Card Table | Allows for more compact booth setup |
🌽 Tip: Use crates and baskets to elevate your display and create levels.
Smart Layout Examples
- Front Table Only: Quick grab-and-go items, perfect for high turnover
- L-Shape Display: Showcase variety and guide traffic from left to right
- Multi-Table Setup: 2–3 tables allow display + checkout separation
Display Tips That Increase Sales
Strategy | Description |
---|---|
Vertical Displays | Stack crates or shelves to create eye levels |
Pricing Signs | Use chalkboards or clear tags for each item |
Sample Corner | A clean plate with tongs = more conversions |
Shade Covering | Tents not only protect — they signal quality |
Make Checkout Smooth
Have a small designated table with:
- Digital payment reader (Square, Venmo sign)
- Reusable bags or boxes
- Loyalty card or business card stash
Conclusion
At a farmers market, first impressions matter. Use clean tablecloths, tiered levels, and strong signage to guide people through your goods — and you’ll turn passersby into loyal buyers.
