In today’s digital world, small businesses face the challenge of standing out and driving sales. While online platforms are vital, there’s still immense value in connecting with customers face-to-face. Pop-up markets and market stalls offer a unique opportunity to showcase your brand, build connections, and generate revenue in the real world. However, navigating these events successfully requires more than just having great products— it’s about creating a memorable customer experience, marketing effectively, and presenting your brand in a way that captures attention.

This 6-week course is designed to provide kitchen-table entrepreneurs/small business owners/sole traders/hobby-makers with the confidence, knowledge, and practical skills needed to thrive at markets and pop-up events. Through expert guidance on branding, product presentation, marketing, and sales techniques, you’ll learn how to make the most of these real life opportunities.

Whether you’re new to selling at markets or looking to refine your approach, this course will equip you with the tools to confidently showcase your products, attract customers, and increase sales. This is more than just a course—it’s a stepping stone to growing your business and establishing a solid presence in the real world. Trust Leeds is hosting a market trading opportunity in the middle of March- we will be inviting everyone on this programme to apply for a stall place!

This course will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed at markets and pop-up events. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of what it takes to attract customers, manage your stall, and make lasting connections that will drive your business forward.
