Vendor Strategy by Season
Winter (Nov–Feb):
Focus on giftable items, festive setups, and weather-friendly booths. Great for art, jewelry, and gourmet products.
Spring (Mar–May):
Peak season! Expect high foot traffic. This is a great time for all vendors—from food to skincare.
Summer (Jun–Aug):
Downsize for heat. Focus on niche or indoor markets. Hydration and sun care vendors shine here.
Fall (Sep–Oct):
Pumpkin-themed products, cozy foods, and early holiday shoppers fill up markets.
