Hi- I am a market grower who was just elected/appointed as chair of our Grower's Association advertising committee.  Our grower's association consists of about 50 growers with smaller numbers of crafters and prepared food vendors that "fill out" our markets.  We run one very dynamic weekend flagship market as well as six weekday sattelite markets in area communities.  Attendance at all of the markets is good, with weekend attendance being great.
 
We already print advertise and online advertise, and all of our vendors give out refridgerator magnets listing all of the markets. We also get a lot of favorable press. However, we are looking to really kick up attendance this year.  We are considering radio and "Main Street" banners if we can get communities to allow them.  I am interested in hearing from anyone who uses these methods as well as other "different" ideas that have worked for folks. Thanks.
