What’s FM doing “right”?
15
Many varieties of promotion on a weekly basis including social media, day of signage, vendor signage, promotion on printed media and partnerships with local SNAP administrators.
Really good customer service and we handle all the transactions for the farmers, we do all the marketing, outreach, customer service, signage
We are working to counter the perception of farmers markets as "boutique" and demonstrate that they are accessible to everyone.

FarmVendors
Offers lots of options to people to spend $ and market is very accessible (location, schedule, how often open) .That the WIC coupons are given out right here. Shoppers will come with questions about WIC and they can direct shoppers to the WIC booth, then the shoppers will come right back with vouchers to spend.
Signage is good to let people know, all vendors know how to take the coins/tokens.
