Ep 271: The Best Time for Markets
Episode description
Farmers markets are always a good time! The question is when is the best time for your market? Setting market hours is a foundational decision. There are a lot of factors at play. Whether your market lasts for two hours or six can be influenced by everything from farmer commutes to parking disputes. Fortunately, the beauty of markets is that there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Success means finding what works best for you and your market community. We’re here to help you find the right fit by considering things like...
- Giving staff, farmers, and vendors enough time to set up and breakdown
- Adjusting your market hours to meet your shoppers' needs
- Looking at other nearby markets' hours and filling a gap
- How to effectively manage a change to your days or hours
