Tell us about the market and what you sell, and we'll estimate how many shoppers will buy from you, how much of each product to bring, and what you'll keep after the booth fee. It's the same planning our Bloom vendors use, minus their own sales history.
Arrive early and set up smart — Best sellers at eye level, and something tall so the table reads from ten feet away.
Offer samples — Quarter-size pieces cost little and turn browsers into buyers. Keep hand sanitizer in sight.
Take cards — Plenty of shoppers carry no cash. A card reader or a QR code is the easiest sale you will make all day.
Bring change for $20s — Start with $50 to $75 in small bills and coins. "Sorry, no change" loses the sale.
Write down what happened — What you brought, what sold and when you sold out. Next time, your own numbers beat any estimate.

The planner tells you how much to bring. A Butter & Sage shop brings shoppers to your booth and shows you which markets are worth the fee.

Questions
Ask the market manager for their average attendance, or count passers-by for ten minutes at a similar market and scale it to the full day. Use a lower number for your first few markets; the safety buffer covers the rest.
Shoppers only buy so much bread (or honey, or soap) in one trip. If three bakers are at the market, the bread buyers are shared three ways. Count the stalls selling what you sell on your first visit; it changes the plan more than anything else.
When a leftover costs you more than a missed sale does (a loaf you'll throw out, on a thin margin), bringing slightly under is the money-smart choice. When leftovers keep, or your margin is big, it suggests a little extra instead. Change what happens to leftovers and watch the numbers move.
