Sell just 2 chicken drumsticks, wrap the end in a napkin and watch the customers come! Get a couple of kids munching on them, and you'll get a crowd. We set up a very small camp table and 2 chairs with an umbrella over(sure beats the canopy) just in front of and off the side of the trailer window. When we tried this 2 weeks ago at the farmer's market, it worked like a charm. Then again, this week. We missed last week for competition. We tell people they're welcome to sit down even if they're not buying from us. But, if they're eating a drumstick or a rib.....wow!
And people walking around with a drumstick or a rib bring in crowds much larger than if they are eating something out of a box.
Most of you probably already know all this, but it's new to me.
Thanks for all the help here.
