I resisted commenting on this but here goes. Ditch the green table coverings, green is veggie! Switch to white or white & red coverings as those are traditional butchers/meat traders' colours. It's all about subliminal messages, people are just educated to associate certain things with certain colours and it's a mistake to underestimate the importance of subliminal influence. Buyers have been influenced by supermarkets for decades so it's important that you present something that doesn't rub against that - go with the flow. I know its a big budget investment but ditch the blue coolers for white coolers for the same reason, also white registers subconsciously as clean and hygienic. Another investment would be to have the table covers trailing to ground level and have various meats / cuts printed large on the "drop side" of the covering so that from across the street it is obvious what you are selling. As another said, Have photos on the outside of each cooler. Many buyers are reluctant to ask, so photos help remove that barrier. Your commitment is inspiring with the early hours start and preparation. I offer the above in an attempt to maximise your hard work. I'm in my 60's and started on market stalls when I was 12, supporting my grandparents market stall.

Cooked samples would get my attention. And photos would be a great idea too.

I've never sold at a farmers market, or even shopped at one, so my advice probably isn't worth much. But what about having large (~8.5x11") photos of the product on the front of the coolers? Photos of perfectly grilled brats or chops would certainly get my attention. Just my 2 cents...

Good job dad He works hard waking up early and getting things ready Myself is a first time in Nevada And me and my son is about to start our vendor

Awesome video! Why don't you make laminated photos of your packed meats and place them at each cooler. I always think some customers are a little gun shy if they can't see or visualize the packaged products. More or less you are simulating what they might see at any butcher store. Maybe look at it like the Market Gardeners, which if they 'couldn't' display their produce their sales would naturally fall off. Cheers!

Have you ever thought about those cases that you see at sport card shows, maybe you could put some dry ice inside of one of those display cases.

I’ve been in sales my whole life. What do you think about a sign that says, “do you like meat? If so, you’ll love ours!”

Great video. No one ever has their market setup perfect. If they think they do, they are fools. It is a very dynamic thing that requires constant attention to people and market process. Take absolute care of your customers and helpers and they will give back to you. We also found going to two tents tripled our sales as it gathers more attention.

I’m guessing the logistics of this make it not the best, but I’ll throw it out there anyway. Have you thought about grilling up some of the meat and offering samples? I think the smell would draw people in like crazy.

i have an idear for you, get some colorful plastic animals of the animals you sell and put on top of the coolers, so a chicken for chicken, cow for cow and so on, maybe some 3d prints of the cuts themself, i think that would attract some views to the stand. love the video, good to have the boys to help

Good video, brother. Just subscribed

That looks great. Meat sellers tables always look sparse and service slow because they have to dig/fetch cuts out of large coolers instead of letting the customer do it themselves.

I sometimes wonder if bigger is better with these farmers markets. There must be considerable competition.

I don't understand all of the rules. So, if I find a pomegranate on my way to class and want to take it home and put it in a cage, is that okay?

need samples for folks
