Vendor Pro Tips

What every vendor wishes they knew before their first market. Curated by Krystyl Baldwin. Links go to Amazon and support San Francisco Vintage at no extra cost to you.

Shop Full Kit on Amazon →
Booth Structure
  • PRO Tent weight bags are non-negotiable. Most markets require them. Forget them once and you'll never forget again. Shop tent weights →
  • TIP Add sidewalls for wind, rain, and a more polished booth feel. Shop sidewalls →
  • TIP Keep a bag of bungee cords and zip ties in your kit. They solve everything. Shop →
Display & Fixtures
  • PRO Display risers change everything. Height variation makes a flat table look editorial and draws buyers in. Shop risers →
  • PRO Grid wall panels are the most versatile display tool for jewelry, bags, and small pieces. Shop grid panels →
  • TIP Mannequin heads for hats, scarves, and sunglasses — items on heads sell faster than items in bins. Shop →
Signage & Pricing
  • PRO Price everything. Buyers won't ask — they'll walk away. A price tag gun speeds this up dramatically. Shop tag gun →
  • TIP A chalkboard A-frame at the front of your booth draws foot traffic and sets the tone before anyone gets close. Shop chalkboard →
  • TIP Clear acrylic sign holders keep business cards and info cards professional and visible. Shop →
Checkout & Payments
  • PRO A portable battery pack keeps your phone and card reader alive all day. Do not skip this. Shop battery pack →
  • TIP Always have a cash box with small bills. Not everyone pays by card and you'll lose sales without change. Shop cash box →
  • TIP Tissue paper and shopping bags make the transaction feel intentional. Buyers remember the experience. Shop packaging →
Load-in & Comfort
  • PRO A rolling cart or flatbed dolly is the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade for load-in and load-out. Shop rolling cart →
  • TIP Bring a folding stool or director's chair. Standing all day without somewhere to perch is brutal. Shop seating →
  • TIP A small Bluetooth speaker adds energy to your booth. The right ambient sound changes how long buyers linger. Shop →
