One of the most valuable things you can do at a pop-up market is to turn a casual shopper into a loyal customer who seeks you out month after month. Repeat customers mean consistent sales and free word-of-mouth marketing.

1. Collect Contact Info
Have a sign-up sheet for your email list or a QR code that links to your social media. Offer an incentive like a small discount on their next purchase.

2. Offer Loyalty Rewards
Punch cards (“Buy 5, get 1 free”) or digital loyalty programs keep customers coming back. Even a simple “mention this card for 10% off next time” works.

3. Remember Faces and Names
When you remember a customer and ask how they liked their last purchase, you make them feel valued. This personal touch is rare — and powerful.

4. Stay Visible Between Markets
Post regularly on social media and let followers know when you’ll be at the next Gibsonton Market. Share sneak peeks of new products.

5. Create Seasonal Exclusives
Customers will make it a point to visit if they know you’ll have something special that’s only available once a year.

6. Provide Stellar Service
Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuine service will get you further than any fancy display. People come back for you, not just your products.

7. Follow Up
If a customer expressed interest in a product you didn’t have that day, message them when it’s available. They’ll appreciate the effort.

A pop-up market is more than a one-day event — it’s a relationship-building opportunity. Nurture those relationships, and your sales will grow steadily over time.
