Market Ready: The Vendor Playbook for Artist Markets with Kenya Templeton
June 8th, 6-8pm
2916 Parkway Ave, Charlotte, NC
FREE WORKSHOP!
So you want to be a vendor at an artist market—but you’re not sure what actually makes a booth successful? This hands-on, tell-it-like-it-is workshop pulls back the curtain on the best-kept secrets of thriving at art markets. We’ll talk honestly about how to know whether your products will sell in a particular market, what you should have in your market toolbox, and how thoughtful packaging can sell your products for you, increase your average dollar sale, and point customers to your website for repeat sales. You’ll learn how to design a booth display that draws people in, tells your story, and makes it easy for buyers to say yes.
Participants in this workshop could expect to gain:

A deeper understanding of what presentation styles attract buyers at markets—based on real-world experience rather than theory. Knowing your brand story, target customer, and current demographic is key, and you will learn how to discern them.
Build Your Vendor Toolkit:
Emergencies will occur at markets. What should you have on hand to accommodate almost anything that may arise?
Packaging Insights:
Tips for using packaging and presentation to elevate the perceived value of your brand, create add-on sales, and build a recognizable brand identity.
Booth Design Know-How:

Sales Skills to Create Repeat Customers:
Techniques for connecting authentically with potential buyers and turning casual browsers into loyal long-term customers and brand ambassadors.
