Why not respond to consumer demand?

I might not return so often if they are not there.

I was constantly asked if I was a regular & gave re-assurance to customers who purchased from me. with food only, visitors will drop off & street shops will lose the additional trade too. You are not looking at the bigger picture, your revenue will decline as trade does. You have a dictatorial attitude to who can trade at the market - try speaking to the community, not just committee members!

I've had a stall a number of times over the past 6 months and have witnessed the good mix of producers and crafters that attend. Customers clearly enjoy the variety of goods on offer and come back to re-purchase one month to the next. Surely this is clear evidence that the current mix meets customer demands..?

Many of my customers return regularly and pay comment if I miss a market. I have also attracted new trade to the market through inviting friends and other clients to visit my stand.The craft traders add to the diversity of the market, and support their fellow traders. Without us the market will not survive.

There is enough room for more food stallholders
Current food stall holders don't; like similar competition - they want variety
Leaflets are a key way to advertise

However it is the North Parade Farmers and COMMUNITY Market and this can cover a broad range of activities and stalls. It would seem rather self defeating to remove a significant and rather attractive section of the market.

Surely to 'blanket ban' all 'craft and trinket' stalls is short sighted. Wouldn't skilled artisans selling their own quality products add interest to any market?

One of the reasons it has been such a success is because of its variety, this brings people to the market. If you take this away, people will go away. There is demand for these products so why stop the supply. Listen to customers and stall holders. If the customers didn't like the craft stalls, how come they bought from them and came back week after week to support those makers?! Cutting this aspect out with drastically decrease the target market for this event, therefore decreasing it's popularity
