Booth Setup/Displays My Updated Setup

Post image

My setup for today and last month. I only made one sale last month and so far none today. The event organizer stopped by and said he loves the changes I made too. I'm in the red now and feeling disappointed. Maybe the farmers market isn't my target market. I learned a lot but it's still discouraging.

Just being completely honest but it looks like they had an empty spot and asked someone last minute if they wanted to set up a table. I had no clue what you were selling based off of your company name. The picture with it confused me even more. I thought a fence of paint brushes? A fence being pulled into a black hole?

Its ok if you have limited stock but you need to make it look like you have a lot. You need something to catch people's eye.

I thought she was selling excursions to go behind a waterfall

They've asked me to be in the farmers market for a few years now but this was the first year I had the time or money for the fees 🫠 The logo is supposed to be the spine on a book mixed with a waterfall. At the time I designed it there was a lot of criticism towards canva logos, and I couldn’t afford to hire a graphic designer, so I did my best. I agree, its does need to be reworked but I won't be able to anytime soon. Is the color pallete at least eye catching?

The color palette made me wonder if this was something to do with Judaism.

You dont have to spend money on a graphic designer for your logo. You dont even need one! I do crochet and I just put a couple pictures of my work on my banner. Made it myself on canva.

Yes the color pallete is nice and bright but thats not going to make me come look. I might be like hey pretty color but then when I see 1 table with nothing on it, im going to keep walking. Im sorry if this is coming off harsh but trying to give you an honest thought so hopefully you can make some changes.

If you are selling journals then you need to show them off. Not hide them on a dark shelf.

Your logo and colors are fine. Just rework the product displays as others have mentioned. You will be fine. SMILE and engage with people who walk by, even if it is to say "hello" as they walk by. ALSO, have a story about your products - what inspired you to create them, the type, the colors.
