Sometimes the toughest part of selling your work is engaging with the nice people coming into your booth to shop. For a variety of reasons it can take me a little time to “warm up” and get into rhythm of engaging with people in the morning. So here’s a short list you can pull from to help get your interaction started in a more productive way.
- “Have you visited us before, or is this your first time checking out our booth?”
- “Do any colors or styles catch your eye?”
- “Feel free to touch or give it a try!” (if applicable to the product)
- “Hi there! Are you finding something for yourself, or are you shopping for gifts today?”
- “Every item here is locally made, handmade, or sourced sustainably.”
- “This piece has an amazing story behind it… would you like to hear more?”
- “I can help you find the perfect item to match your style or fit your needs!”
- “We’re offering a special deal for our market visitors today—ask me for the details!”
- “Thank you so much for supporting local artists and small businesses!”
- “If you’d like, I’m happy to share the inspiration behind this particular piece.”
- “We just launched this new collection—would you like to be among the first to see it?”
- “Let me know if you’re curious about our materials or process! We love sharing the details.”
- “Would you be interested in joining our email list for updates and promotions?”
- “Did you know that each item has a unique fact about its materials or creation process?”
- “If you have any custom ideas in mind, I’d be happy to work with you to create something just for you.”
- “We’d love for you to follow us on social media and stay in the loop on new arrivals and upcoming events!”
- “Thank you for stopping by! Every purchase helps us keep creating.”
- “We love connecting with others who share our passion!”
- “Do you have any questions about how to style or use this item?”
- “Hi! Have you seen our newest items in the collection?”
