As always be prepared for anything, sun, rain, and wind can always be a factor outdoors.
Make your list and check your supplies ahead of time knowing that you have the things you need to be comfortable, set up your display, and do well.

Tap, scissors, tools you may need, markers, pens, pencils, paper, straps, string, ( WEIGHTS) chairs, tables, charger source for phone, makes signs, price tags/stickers, water, advil, band aids, table covers, clamps, money/small bills for change, etc……….

Have your ways to accept payment ready, scan/QR codes for PayPal, Stripe etc….

Weights for your canopy are REQUIRED, ALWAYS. No less than 30 pounds per leg. Small round plastic weights, bricks etc…. are not enough to keep you from losing your canopy and products to a gust of wind, and possibly damaging others property as well.

If you are not using a canopy, make sure you have planned out how to set up your display not to be blown away if wind happens, and to be sheltered from the sun or rain if they are a factor.

When a vendor is not prepared it impacts other vendors who take time to assist, which leaves that vendor less time tending to their booth, set up ,supplies, and their customers.

Bring the things you need, tape, rope, string, wire, pens, makers, scissors, phone charger supply, clamps, weights, weights, weights, sun glasses, water, tools…….
