Pelham Market reaches out to volunteers
Community Markets is looking to promote interest in its Pelham Farmers Market. To this end, they are looking for volunteers to join a committee that would brainstorm ideas to help foster the market.
The organization is hoping for at least five volunteers by May 18; the day of the group's first scheduled meeting, to think of ways to generate more buyers at the market. Some ideas have included hiring local musicians or chefs as a way to draw in crowds or to create family and kid friendly activities that would attract more visitors.
Miriam Haas wants to grow the Pelham Farmers Market, but she realizes that the market needs more foot traffic. She estimates that it currently has about half of the customers it needs in order to really thrive. Her hope is that community members will be able to think of ways to attract their neighbors. Haas said:
Community Markets runs markets in various areas including Mamaroneck, Pleasantville, and Tarrytown, as well as New York City. The markets in some of these other areas have already adopted community volunteer groups that have found ways to attract more customers and create events to promote themselves.
Whatever new ideas these volunteers brainstorm, there is no doubt that they will need to promote the market as well as any events that the market features. Printing services are likely to see some requests for flyers and banners from this promoter group as it looks to draw in the crowds.

“It helps to have people in the community who can help us find local talent and help us make the market better.”
