Burma Shave Redux!
August 7, 2011 10:39 PM
Working at farmer's market and need Burma Shave-like jingles for products
I work at the Hollywood Farmer's Market selling organic yogurt, yogurt cheeses and lacto-fermented sodas. I am in a somewhat dead spot and want to bring more customers in, livening up the place in the process. I had the idea of putting out small sandwich boards with catchy Burma Shave-like jingles that i can rotate each week.....
Products
Yogurt is from Petaluma in Sonoma County. It is french yogurt made from pastured Jersey cows on the farm. The owners name is Benoit. There is plain and many fruit flavors
Plum
Blueberry
Strawberry
Honey
Meyer Lemon
Chocolate
Plain
Yogurt cheese is like a cream cheese
Plain
Basil Garlic
Lacto-Fermented Sodas are in the same ballpark as kefirs and kombucha.. It is not sweet or gamey like kombucha and not sour like kefir. It is light refreshing, effervescent and is more like a sports drink. It's makes a good cocktail mixer and my friends swear that it helps alleviates hangovers.
Flavors are....
Rose geranium
Lemon Verbana
Rosemary
Lavender
Burma Shave example....
Feeling blue
Like you've screwed the pooch
Don't feel sad.
Come drink our hooch
****** Sodas

Partied too much last night?
Feels like a hammer inside your cranium?
Ease that hangover pain
With some of our Rose Geranium.
Benoit.
You think you know yogurt
Because you've tried theirs
But Benoit's organic is made from pastured Jerseys
We're proud of our dairy-airs!

Not feeling very poetic at the moment, but as someone who has worked many, many farmer's markets, craft shows, festivals, etc., I can tell you that two things that work are A) A big sign that says "FREE SAMPLES", with a sign pointing towards your booth, and B) Upbeat music. I like to use The Squirrel Nut Zippers. (The song in the last link takes a full minute to really get going, but it's worth it.)

MexicanYenta, Hollywood is a bit of a different beast. I am already doing both. The alley is off the main path and traffic flow so I need to do as much as I can to steer them in our direction. Also people who do come for free here tend not to buy or are one-time buyers.
