- Check the weather the night before and bring extra weights if wind is forecast.
- Arrive early to get the best spot and set up without rushing.
- Take cash and card — some markets are cash-only crowds, others expect tap-and-go.
- Bring your own bags, tissue paper or wrapping so customers can carry purchases easily.
- Display at eye level where possible — crates and risers increase sales.
