Farmers’ Market | Farm it for Decorative Concrete Work

ConcreteDust has a new post about the advantages of having a booth at the  local farmers market in comment on another similar post from Groov-E-News/Engrave-A-Crete, entitled Seven Reasons to Farm the Farmers’ Market for Decorative Concrete.

Interesting take on the opportunities to meet people who could be prospective customers in a mini-trade show set up.  Good practice as well for when you take your booth to the big trade show.  You will be able to greet people and share your information  in a calm, cool, collected and professional way.

How often do you get a chance to make contact with potential customers and practice for future efforts.  Real on-the-job marketing experience.

ConcreteDust also mentions the ‘gain’ of being able to buy produce and other stuff at the farmers’ market!
