Workshop: Marketing for Market Vendors - Level 1
2026-07-19 10:00 - 17:00 | Rusty Hook, 22 Wilge St, Honeydew, Roodepoort, Gauteng, 2040, South Africa
If you attended the previous workshops in 2025/6, get R50 off – you are welcome to book again as a refresher.
RAMP UP your ability to maximise sales as a market vendor in 2026 and invest in yourself!
Social media & markets powerhouses ::pixelmagic::, AlterEgos Events & Alternatribe are collaborating on Sunday 19 July 2026 for top tips and practical hands on examples of how to ramp up your market marketing game – from how best to show off your products both digitally and in your market space, to proven social media and sales techniques to suit any budget.

𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗨:– SIMPLE, CLEVER PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHYHow to show off your products to best advantage digitally – whether you want to post it on your social pages or send it to potential clients; a great photo is going to give you an advantage.(Bring your cell phone and some of your products to the workshop!)
– SOCIAL MEDIAStop wasting time and effort sharing and posting the wrong things in the wrong places at the wrong times – we show you practical examples on your own pages! Best if you can bring a laptop, but we’ll show you the mobile hacks too.
– PRODUCT DISPLAYSetting up your stall and displaying your products is an art form with practical science to back up why we suggest you display in certain ways. Angie’s Unique Designs will be setting up a demo stall and we’ll walk your through cost saving tips and tricks to show off your products to best advantage.
– STALL ETIQUETTEWe’ve often seen potential buyers walk away from a stall because the vendor is focused on their phone; chatting to a friend; smoking or eating behind their table. We outline potential pitfalls like these and more for you to avoid; and give you a list of habits to replace them with!
– SALES TECHNIQUESHave you heard the term “closing the sale”? Successful selling almost always results from good listening. The best sales professionals continuously ask questions throughout the engagement and genuinely listen to the prospect’s responses. Even at the last stage of closing, asking questions can be a great technique to finalise the sale. Do you know how to get from “I like that” to “here, take my money” ?
– HOW TO PICK A GOOD MARKETWe cover how to avoid scams, and low footfall as well as what to look for to determine if a market will be good for you!
