Above is a photo of my latest Farmers Market booth, taken in Oakland earlier this month. As noted before, with the use of the ProPanels as shown I was able to push together my pegboard easels and hang larger frames.
The only change that I might make would be to "invert" the panels. Currently the ProPanel angle opens to the inside of the booth, so only those who choose to enter can see what’s been hung. If the angle opened to the front, then more pix would be visible to passersby.
Also thinking of a way to convert the pegboard sandwich boards to a more flexible, vertical arrangement.
Oh yes, the bottom line was that I sold at least 10 times as much stuff as at the Marin FM. We speculate that this might be because the Oakland location has much more local residents out for a stroll, whereas the Marin location is accessed mainly by auto and is very food-centric. So, more potential customers in the urban area.
