very nice display perry, and like everyone else has said, hang in there. the honey stix like jack said do attract kids. i don't do farmer's markets, but in the fall i sell out the front door on the roadway in front of the house.
in the beginning i had a lot of traffic because i had hives near the roadway (still do). everyone could see my hives, (painted different colors) and curiosity or honey lovers brought them and neighbors stopped to buy my honey. then it slowed a bit. a neighbor built an upscale outdoor restaurant. people would fly by. so i used a colorful umbrella, and colorful signs on the roadway from each direction. i also use hive body fronts painted different colors, you know, stacked, glued and nailed together that attracts interest, and this worked, still does and is kinda cool looking. i just get crappy hive body parts from my local supplier that they can't sell, paint them in bright colors, glue and support them together to resemble a hive, you know, like 2 deep body fronts and a couple super fronts, painted in bright colors. it works. the other thing that works to attract attention is a helmet and veil, or a smoker on the table. kids love to try the helmet and veil on, and want to know how the smoker works, or a hive tool, things we take for granted, you know mystery tools to them. but gives you an edge to sell honey and how it works. the other thing i do is give simple recipes away with my sales, that's not an attractor, but people tell me they love the recipes i give them with the honey sale. also, they love to try lip balm. i have many repeat customers, but it just takes time......:grin:
i know most of what i said doesn't apply to you, but maybe try something on your table to attract attention to you more so than others, something that stands out and is different than the rest? :grin:
