Why Vendors & Businesses Should Participate in Spring in the Alley

15 Apr 2025
If you're a small business owner, artisan, or vendor looking for new ways to reach customers and grow your sales, Spring in the Alley presents an exciting opportunity. Organized by the owners of The Country Peddler, Mikey and Melissa Cody, this unique event is designed to draw shoppers to downtown Burkesville on Saturday, April 26, from 10 AM to 3 PM.
By bringing together local vendors and food trucks in a lively, engaging atmosphere, Spring in the Alley offers businesses a solid opportunity to showcase their products, build brand recognition, and connect with the community.
Many businesses in Burkesville operate on limited weekend hours or remain closed on Saturdays, so residents and visitors often have fewer shopping options. Spring in the Alley fills this gap by creating a centralized shopping event that encourages more downtown foot traffic. This event is an ideal setting for businesses looking to make an impression on new customers who may not have had the chance to visit their storefronts or discover their products.
Why You Should Participate in Spring in the Alley
Increase Your Visibility
Whether you run a brick-and-mortar store, operate an online business, or sell handcrafted goods at markets, Spring in the Alley gives you direct access to potential customers eager to shop locally. With the added attraction of food trucks and a potential street closure, the event is expected to create a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere that draws in crowds.
Engage with the Community
Face-to-face interactions can help establish long-lasting customer relationships. Shoppers enjoy meeting the people behind the businesses, learning the stories behind the products, and getting a personalized experience that they won't find when shopping online or at big-box retailers.
Boost Your Sales
With shoppers actively looking to buy, Spring in the Alley offers a high-traffic environment perfect for increasing revenue. Vendors often see an immediate increase in sales during the event and continued business from customers who return later.
Network with Other Businesses
Beyond sales, Spring in the Alley is also a valuable networking opportunity. You'll be able to meet other vendors, share ideas, and explore potential collaborations that can benefit your business in the long run.
How to Get Involved
Spring in the Alley is open to vendors of all kinds, including boutiques, artisans, specialty food sellers, and home-based businesses. Vendors can set up on private and public property, offering flexible opportunities for participation.
