Market day checklist for artisan brands

by mercader.app Team1 min

A strong market day starts long before you set up your table. Clear prep across catalog, pricing, and communication makes a direct impact on revenue.

1) Curate the right catalog

Do not bring everything. Choose products based on:

  • Expected average order value.
  • Portability.
  • Profit margin.
  • Seasonal demand.

A focused table usually outperforms an overloaded one.

2) Validate pricing and labels

Before you leave, confirm:

  • Every product has a visible price.
  • Bundle discounts are pre-calculated.
  • Payment options are clear.
  • Return or exchange policy is simple.

This removes friction and builds trust quickly.

3) Publish event details in your digital storefront

Include:

  • Date and time.
  • Exact location.
  • Featured products.
  • Short CTA for pre-orders or reservations.

You will receive fewer repetitive DMs and more qualified buyers before the event starts.

4) Run a short post-market review

Capture:

  • Most asked-about products.
  • Best sellers.
  • Repeated customer questions.
  • Pricing changes for the next event.

That loop turns each market into input for better performance at the next one.
