Lower frustrations by being prepared for the next rainy day market event.
A lot of time is spent planning and sewing my unique sewn items. The last thing I want is to have a 🌬 or 🌧 storm damage them.
I'm sharing my vendor experience and tips so you can be ready if you come to a wet, muddy site or sell during a rain storm.
🌧 Plan ahead to bring the following items to keep you and your merchandise protected and dry.
1. A change of 👚👖and 👟 will help you stay comfortable in your booth.
2. A waterproof layer such as a raincoat is needed for set ups and take downs. A light weight dollar store poncho is my preference and can be easily replaced.
3. Any table or display exposed to moisture benefits from covering with a large clear, vinyl sheet. Different size binder clips keep it in place when secured to a table top, tent post, wooden crate, etc.
4. Large garbage bags work to encase bins and products transported to and from your tent.
5. Baby wipes rescue signs with drippy messages and spot clean items that have fallen to the ground.
6. Wooden table legs won't soak up water if they're elevated by furniture sliders.
7. Before packing up a tent, use beach towels to wipe off most of the accumulating water on tent walls and the top so less drains into the back of your vehicle.
Having a similar wet weather kit available in a waterproof tote makes enduring bad weather events much more tolerable.
