This week is National Farmers Market Week and so selling in these final days of summer is top of mind for the Square Community.
If you work outdoors or if have employees who work outside check out these ways to keep cool - and share your tips!
- Buy a fan: Invest in a small, portable fan. There are many affordable fans available from your local small business - some you can charge up or use with batteries. Some also have ‘legs’ so you can attach them to the edge of a table for example to save space at your booth. 🌥️
- Shade: If you will be helping customers outdoors in the sun, provide shade for yourself and for your customers. Not ready to invest in a tent for your table - try to remember to wear a hat. For more sun safety tips check out the CDC’s website. 👒
- Hydrate: Water and snack on fruit/veg, which also has high water content. Pass the watermelon, please. 😎
