We’ve noticed a common question popping up in Facebook groups from vendors asking, “What should I say to consumers at my booth?” Talking to customers is such a crucial part of the market experience, and it can make all the difference in creating a memorable impression. To help out, we put together this list of conversational prompts for vendors to use. These phrases are designed to break the ice, spark interest, and foster a connection with booth visitors. Try them out and see which ones resonate best!
- “Hi! Have you seen our latest pieces/products?”
- “Feel free to touch or try it out!” (if applicable to the product)
- “Are you shopping for yourself or looking for gifts today?”
- “This item has an interesting story behind it…” (Share the unique backstory)
- “Let me know if you’d like to hear more about our materials/process.”
- “Which colors/styles catch your eye?”
- “We just launched this collection/item. Would you like to be one of the first to see it?”
- “We love connecting with people who share our passion!”
- “Do you have any questions about how to use/wear it?”
- “I can help you find something that fits your style/needs perfectly!”
- “Did you know (insert interesting fact) about the product/material/creation process?”
- “These items are all handmade/locally made/sourced sustainably.”
- “We’re offering a special deal today for market visitors!”
- “We’d love for you to follow us on social media to stay updated on new arrivals and events.”
