We had some success last year with an opening day promotion that we are
going to repeat this year. We asked a number of local businesses if they
would like to 'donate' $100 to offset the cost of canvas market shopping
bags that we would give out for free on opening day. Their logo or business
name is on the bag. Last year, each vendor got a dozen bags to give out for
free along with a purchase.
As an aside, I sell market bags (not canvas...mine are made of mesh or
plastic tablecloth fabric...I have really taxed my old Singer sewing machine
making these bags). The first year I hardly sold a single bag. Once the
market did the promotion I sold bags on a regular basis. heh heh. I
heartily supported the bag promotion this year.
This year, we are doing a customer survey and the bag is a gift if they do
the survey.
Just thought I'd pass this along.
What kinds of promotions does your market do for opening day?
(by the way, we are only open from mid-April to the end of October.)
