The Farmers’ Market Sign
1. Every Saturday, Andre and Carlos help at their family’s farmers’ market stall. They sell apples, squash, and jars of honey. Last week, they noticed that shoppers often walked past without seeing the stall’s small sign. 2. The sign was tucked behind a tall basket of squash. From the walkway, shoppers could not read the words “Fresh local food.” Some people stopped only after they had already passed the stall. 3. Andre and Carlos wanted to help shoppers spot the stall. First, they moved the sign to the front corner of the table. Next, they wrote the prices in large, dark letters. Finally, they placed a small arrow on the sign to point towards the apples and honey. 4. The changes worked. More shoppers stopped, and several said the sign was easy to read. Andre and Carlos decided to check the sign each Saturday and change its message when new produce arrived. 5. The market has other stalls, too. Isabella sells flowers in bright buckets, while a nearby baker sells loaves of bread on wooden trays. Both stalls attract shoppers with clear displays, but Isabella uses colour to catch people’s eyes, and the baker uses the warm smell of fresh bread.
