>Our market runs from the last Sat in April through the first Sat in Oct.
We do an indoor Holiday Market the Sat before Thanksgiving.
Membership Fees were just raised to $20 per season plus vendors pay 5% of
their gross sales per week. Holiday Market is $20 flat fee.
We are unfortunately 50% crafters, but the reality is that it has been
extremely difficult to recruit enough growers!
We are very rural, but on a major highway with some tourist traffic. Our
membership currently runs about 70 members with an average of 30 actually
setting up each weekend.
Advertising biggest bangs for the buck...
Posters posted all over town.
Small versions of the posters for all vendors to give to the public.
Local radio folk give us a great deal
Press releases, articles, calenders done in the local papers are free.
Website!

Worst deal....large expensive ads in the papers
TV ads out of the question
