Well, do I even have to tell you! It was RAIN again, as we do live in the Maritimes and it is our typical spring weather.
Not sure though if our sales today reflect the rain or the time of year...
We will probably not be able to pinpoint that until we have done another year to see the comparisons, and track the weather, to see if it is actually the weather influencing the market flow and actual buyers.
It was a slow day indeed for us today! But it was also a very slow day today for many of the other vendors. So this tells us it may be the weather! From today onward we have decided to track the weather with our tracking that we are doing with sales, sizes, colours etc. We only had one other day slow like today and on that day it was a very miserable day with pouring rain. Rain seems to be a big factor in our sales and was a topic amongst many vendors saying they have tracked the days of rain occurring and their sales... so this is what prompted us to do the same.
We will be at the market again in two weeks time. And then we will be there again June 29th! This will be a BIG day for the vendors and also for the market goers. Big Changes happening June 29th, to bring our vendors closer together in a more even flow, occupying less space. The vendors are very excited and look forward with much anticipation of things happening in a very positive way.
Just a reminder that we will be attending the market after June 29th, once a month for the next 3 months, July, August and September. The dates will be the 4th Saturday of each of those months, being:
July 27, 2013
August 24, 2013
September 28, 2013
Look for us to frequent twice a month again in October, 2013. That's the plan, Stan!
