Vendor Hippo gets a BLOG!

Hi there! My name is Daniel and I own a company called Vendor Hippo. We are all about those vendors participating in farmers' markets as well as those who own them. We offer many services and programs to help those just starting out or who wish to 'put thier business in high gear'. This is our new blog so please check out our site at http://www.vendorhippo.com/ and let us know what you think.

Let me start this off by posting a couple questions:

1) In your opinion, what are the important characteristics you look for as a vendor in choosing a market for the next season?

2) If you frequent farmers' markets, what is it that you want to find most? Such as vendor variety or vendor quanity?

As a vendor in the past myself of course the biggest thing you look for in a market is "Am I going to make any money selling at this market?"

But I think you might be surprised to find that this is not everyones biggest concern. In fact, making money (besides just breaking even of course) is pretty far down the list of reasons why people become vendors at farmers markets.

Can you guess what the topreasons are?
