We are looking for someone responsible, "bubbly" (pun intended) and great at teaching people about our Bath and Body Products, to do POP Up events and Markets. This is a solo position where you would be running your own booth. If you enjoy taking the reins and running the show alone, this is the job for you. No Manager hounding over your shoulder, and no corporate banter. A peaceful and very entertaining job.
The Benefits of Working Outdoors and a Solo Position like this:
- Reduced conflict, because you are solo
- Increased job satisfaction
- More control of your time due to weekend shifts
- More relaxed environment
- Demonstrates that you're a good self-manager
- Boosts your self-esteem and self-confidence
- Promotes your well-being
- Enhances your reputation and trustworthiness
- No pushy sales
- More freedom
- Not stuck in a stuffy office
- Stress reduction: Nature can help people unwind and clear their minds, which can lead to improved focus and mental clarity.
- Elevated energy levels
- Access to cleaner air
- Decreased depression
- Minimizing the harmful effects of sitting all day
- Music soothes the soul - many events have music
Availability - We're looking for people who can work mostly on weekends and be committed to that every week. We typically have outdoor and some indoor events in and around St.Lucie, Martin, Indian River and Palm Beach Counties within Florida. Sometimes events come up that are further away.
We are constantly evolving and adding new events. As always, sometimes extra events pop up on a moment's notice.
Training Period Timeline
You will be compensated for your Training Period. Your training period will depend on how often your able to do in person markets. (mostly weekends)
Selling Bath & Body / cosmetics at a farmers market requires a longer, more specialized training period compared to selling the "typical" market products like produce or prepared foods. This is due to the unique combination of specialized product knowledge and a consultative sales approach necessary for Bath & Body / Cosmetics, especially in a face-to-face, market-style environment.
Factors that lengthen the training period:
Specialized product and ingredient knowledge
Unlike a simple product, a trainee must understand the nuances of each cosmetic item in depth. This includes:
- Ingredients: Explaining the function of active ingredients and how they benefit specific skin types.
- Formulation: Knowledge of how products are made and which ones are most appropriate for different skin and concerns.
- Application: Instructing customers on the proper technique for applying and using skincare products.
Consultative selling skillsCosmetic sales are often about consulting with a customer rather than simply completing a transaction. This requires a longer training period to develop key skills, such as:
- Identifying needs: Learning to ask the right questions to understand a customer's specific skin type and goals.
- Tailored solutions: Recommending a personalized combination of products instead of just selling a single item.
- Building trust: Earning the customer's confidence through informed, helpful guidance, which increases the likelihood of a sale and repeat business.
Farmers market-specific skills Beyond standard cosmetic training, selling at a farmers market requires an additional set of skills for a busy, outdoor environment. A longer training period is needed to cover:
- Display and visual merchandising: Mastering how to arrange a booth to be eye-catching and inviting, with clear signage.
- Customer engagement: Learning how to capture the attention of a customer walking by and create a focused, personalized experience despite the distracting surroundings.
- In-person demonstrations and sampling: Becoming skilled at performing quick and product demonstrations and sampling.
- Following regulations: Understanding and adhering to local regulations and laws regarding sampling, hygiene, and sales for health and beauty products whenspeaking and describing products.
