But setting up a professional, functional booth took a bigger investment than I expected. Here’s what I spent:⁣ ⁣ 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗰𝗼:⁣ • Two 4 ft folding tables: $70⁣ • 6 ft table: $49⁣ • Extra-large Igloo cooler: $99⁣ ⁣ 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻:⁣ • Mini chalkboard signs: $31⁣ • 100 Kraft bags: $25⁣ • Market canopy: $136⁣ • Extra canopy side: $25⁣ • 80 lbs of canopy weights: $66⁣ • Tablecloths: $37⁣ • Chalkboard easel & markers: $45⁣ • Bungee cords: $27⁣ • Medium chalkboard table signs: $17⁣ • Shade awning & transportation bag: $100⁣ ⁣ 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀:⁣ • Etsy 36×60 table runner sign: $58 (with shipping)⁣ • TJ Maxx 3-tiered display stand: $25⁣ • Banner Buzz 8×2 ft sign: $⁣ ⁣ By the end, I spent almost $1,000 (before tax!) to create a simple, functional setup. And I’ve kept it simple compared to some other vendors, who have custom-printed canopies and full display cases.⁣ ⁣ Don’t forget you need to store all these items when not in use—garage Tetris, anyone?⁣ ⁣ If you’re setting up your own booth, plan ahead for costs and storage space! It’s worth it to see customers enjoying your creations. 🍪💛⁣ ⁣ Don’t forget to like the post and follow me for more helpful baking advice. ⁣ ⁣ #FarmersMarket #SmallBusinessJourney #CookieBusiness #StartSmall | Tammy’s Cookie Company | Facebook
