Retail Market Essentials

Whether you’ve just been accepted to your first Esther & Elsa event or you’re a veteran vendor looking to upgrade your gear, we’ve put together the definitive list of all the gear you’ll need to succeed at our markets!

Required Equipment

Here’s what you’ll need to participate in Esther & Elsa’s market season:

10’ x 10’ Straight-Leg Tent

A few important notes here. All tents must be vertical-leg, NOT slant-leg, to fit within their assigned space. Likewise, our Camden Commons and Shop Small Saturdays require white or professionally branded tents. So, if you're looking to purchase a new tent, this option has everything you need!

25 lbs of weight on each tent leg

You could use a few options to apply 25 lbs. of weight to all four tent legs. However, we highly recommend these sandbag weights!

Getting to Your Space

You’ve got a lot of stuff to keep track of on the day of an event, so why not make your load-in and load-out a breeze with these foldable carts:

TIMBER RIDGE Folding Double Decker Wagon

This sturdy option is large enough to carry most of your display and includes a convenient undercarriage compartment that perfectly fits your 10’ x10’ tent!

Chill Camping Collapsible Wagon

Looking for something a bit more lightweight? Then grab this option with convenient push/pull handles.

Building the Perfect Market Space

Okay, you’re ready for the market but feel like you could use a bit more organization to make your day worry-free. Here are the finishing touches every retail vendor should have for the perfect market space:

Maurtai Rolling Tool Bag

Carry all your checkout items, accessories, and day-of tools in this pull-along toolbox!

Foldable Metal Rolling Cart

Perfect for stocking displays or as a checkout/wrapping station, this compact cart can hold up to 200 lbs. and is the perfect addition to your behind-the-counter efficiency during busy markets!

You’re All Set!

Now that you have everything you need for a successful Esther & Elsa event, you can create an attractive space that will draw customers in, allowing you to maximize your profits and make your day at the market a success!
