Training: How to Create Successful Markets
Posted On: February 16, 2008
To be truly successful, markets need four crucial elements: the right mix of vendors and products; a strong sense of place; solid economic and operational underpinnings; and a firm commitment to the surrounding community. The Project for Public Spaces will host a How to Create Successful Markets training course on May 16-17, 2008. Through this training course, participants will learn about each of these elements and more through workshops and on-site tours of New York City’s open-air farmers markets, indoor public markets, flea markets and urban farms. The workshop will cover:
- Benefits of markets;
- Ingredients of successful markets;
- Introduction to Placemaking;
- Market planning process;
- Community engagement;
- Partnership building;
- Sustainable market operations; and
- Market management.
