Have ๐“๐Ž๐๐’ of business cards! If you have a partner, friend or family member with you...have them pass out your business cards while you're working your table/event.

If you sell ๐€ ๐‹๐Ž๐“ of products, know your prices!
Try to categorize items buy price point.
Write down your prices so that you have something to refer back to.
Have price tags or signs readily available.

If you sell clothing like I do. Have a variation of sizes and colors.
A lot of customers were looking for larger sizes.

A simple, hello...how're you or good morning goes a long way!
It makes you seem more approachable and welcoming.
It also grabs the attention of passers and sometimes stops them in their tracks.

My bestfriend didn't have a single product on hand at my event yesterday and she still happened to gain some potential clients and orders!
Simply talking to customers and telling them a little about your business and what you sell works!

Whether you're selling from a table or a store. Area matters!ย 
Go where there is high foot traffic. Have you event is busy areas.
You're more than likely to get more customers that way.

Even though we're in the digital age of ca$happ and PayPal, still keep cash on hand.ย 
Almost every sale I made then, was a cash sale.ย 
Make sure you have enough change on hand.
**Accept multiple forms of payment!
**Print out your ca$happ tag so people can pay you easily!
