The organisers really do try hard to make tha market work (unlike some), but nothing seems to be working.<br />However, a new stall always creates interest, so you may do well. I really hope you do, and wish you all thebest.<br />Jude.Jude's Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184979299095222329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160310356285603423.post-73716858683811259392010-04-28T11:53:34.907+01:002010-04-28T11:53:34.907+01:00Emailing the within the Group looks good on paper,...Emailing the within the Group looks good on paper, and they can then say that they have advertised, but it did little to boost the number of punters actually coming throught he gate. What other advertising was done by the people we pay our stall fees to?<br />At least the people walking by did see the chalk board, but no one else would. Last time the hotel staff put signs out on the roads and the chef was all ready with food samples to give out, but as they did not know the market was on, none of that happened.<br />This could be a good wee market but needs to be well advertised in local free paper and maybe with door to door flyers.Jude's Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184979299095222329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160310356285603423.post-8844507397720861212010-04-24T16:55:12.741+01:002010-04-24T16:55:12.741+01:00the marketing for cricklewood is by email and only...the marketing for cricklewood is by email and only by email to the hotel owners email list. It does get a response though a very low one but may be a lesson for other markets to do email alongside all the other more effective promotion . The email attendees came from quite a wide range with hardly any Bothwell locals (may be 10) They also had a blackboard sign saying farmers market in chalk this is one step beside none.
