So, it was on Thursday that I attempted to sell the baskets twice and then I tried again on Saturday morning (with Ineware) at the PHS Farmer's market & I saw that people may not want to patronize someone who has not gone through the proper protocol & paid the fees to be apart of the market--since I was in the parking lot. I was there for 30 minutes & felt so embarrassed. On Thursday though, I did realize that the kind of baskets I did were not "appropriate" for the demographic I was trying to sell to. Well, I had no demographic, but the locations (such as farmer's markets) tend to pull a lot of white-possibly "educated" and "middle/upper middle class" people, who probably appreciate quality & the nicer things in life. That's why they take the time to go to the farmer's market versus Food for less (j/k) or Ralphs for produce. They probably do still go to Ralphs, but their desire is for earthy & organic. At least this was a good MBA project or even since I have a BA in Cultural Anthropology & Asian Studies, this was a nice market & cultural study. My baskets seemed great for a certain part of the Latin community. Though, I realize that all types of ethnicities can like & do purchase the finer things in life...ya ya ya!
