Exactly! This is A MUST HAVE if you're vending in person. I have witnessed so many people walk away from a sale simply because there is no way to accept credit.

@penniespence7447 2 жыл бұрын

I’d add that being Venmo-friendly is also a good thing. So many people use that form of electronic/instant payment these days (and bonus for being 100% contactless) also the fees are MUCH less than Square or the PayPal card reader. (I’ve used them both) Juat a suggestion. :)

Hello Jerika - a helpful tip for tents going airborne - cut slits into the curtains. The wind will blow through rather than lifting and taking off. It's a very serious situation if a customer get hit with one of the tent legs. Try to use water buckets as anchors. They are easy to fill and empty as well as heavy.

Excellent tips, Jerika! I enjoyed watching your video on farmers markets. This is how I make most my money. I love to socialize! I've found the more open I am the greater the sales. Since my husband Wayne started making product with me and understands the process, sales are up. Women love talking to him, lol! He's kinda a handsome dude, so it's good for business, but it makes me laugh, lol! Jill Gross

I've recycled and chalk painted so many different peices of furniture to sewing denin aprons made from old jeans to making my own dresses. Everything I have made and worked hard at was created with so much love. I'm still doing my thing and finding new challenges to try such as soap making. I've recently made my own soy candles and moisturising cream which I just adore. You both have been an inspiration! I appreciate and value the skill and knowledge you both impart so unselfishly! You both rock!! All my love and best wishes to you both from New Zealand ♥️

I'm sure you guys have a lot of advice for that side of things, especially now Cale is running a market :)
