Haverhill Farmer’s Market

Success comes in many forms. There was a lot going on in Haverhill yesterday, the river Ruckus, the celebration at GAR park, the Farmers Market and I am sure plenty of backyard parties and cookouts. One thing I learned this past week from the gallery director at the Clark Gallery in Lincoln, MA is that often people don’t buy art on an impulse. They like to see it several times before they buy. They want to know the artist. They are “buying” the artist not just the piece of art. So though sales can be light on one day there can still be many successes:
- Meeting new people/buyers
- Taking orders for future sales
- Making new market connections for classes/venues
- Learning more about the local market
- Developing people/conversation skills
- Bartering with other vendors
- Streamlining set up and take down of display
- Learning from actions of other vendors
Success comes in many forms. Off to the beach for family, photos, and rocks. Enjoy!
