Would you keep a simple weekly market schedule so repeat customers can find you?
I’m a customer at a farmers market in Duvall, WA. There are a few growers/vendors I buy from regularly, but I often don’t know whether they’ll be at Duvall that week or selling at a nearby town’s market instead.
Unless I happen to catch an Instagram post or message them directly, I just miss them.
I’m wondering whether a simple vendor-controlled schedule would be useful: a grower could confirm the markets they’ll attend each week, and customers could follow a farm/vendor and see where they’ll be that week—including cancellations or last-minute changes.
It would not be live location tracking or a complicated inventory app—just a public “where can customers find us this week?” tool that vendors control.
For people who sell at multiple markets:
- Would you actually keep something like this updated?
- Would it bring enough repeat customers to be worth the extra step?
- What would make it feel useful instead of like another admin chore?
- Is Instagram + your own website already enough?
No app built yet—I’m trying to understand whether this solves a real vendor problem as well as a customer problem.
