The reality of market life…

We’re in a lovely location today, the sun is shining but the footfall has been low. It’s definitely not just us either – lots of traders are saying the same.

So what’s your theory? 🤔

⚽ Is everyone recovering from the football last night?
☀️ Is it simply too hot to be out browsing?
🤷🏻‍♀️Or is it just one of those unpredictable market days?

One thing we’ve learned is that no two markets are ever the same. One weekend can be brilliant, the next can be surprisingly slow, even in a lovely venue.

Thankfully, this year has been so much better for us than last year overall, so we’re staying positive. Markets aren’t just about the sales on the day – they’re about getting our name out there, meeting lovely customers, catching up with familiar faces and reminding people we’re here. Those conversations often turn into online orders later on.

That’s the reality of running a small business. You keep showing up, even on the quieter days, because you never know who’ll discover you.

If you’ve been to a market recently, have you found them busier or quieter than usual? We’d love to hear your thoughts ❤️

We’re back at our monthly market with the lovely 🤍
