How to Sell Your Art at Farmers’ Markets [Webinar]
July 10 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Many artists and makers get their start by selling their products at Farmers’ Markets. It’s a wonderful way to get customer feedback on the spot while ringing up sales within a specific time frame. Luckily, Frederick County offers many of these markets throughout the week in multiple communities giving vendors plenty of opportunities to participate.
During this webinar for business owners in the creative industry, we’ll first hear from representatives from the Frederick County Department of Agriculture who will explain where the farmers’ markets are, how to get in, compliance requirements, and resources.
Setting up a table at a Farmer’s Market is only half the story. The next step is to sell and market while you are there! The second part of the webinar features Dani Gurrie of Promo Circus, who is an expert in event marketing. She will share ideas on how to get the most out of every vending opportunity.
