Hot Weather Tips for Outdoor Flea Markets
Outdoor Flea Market Hot Weather Tip - Dress Appropriately
Hot weather and sun may invite men to pull of their shirts and women to strip down to a brief bikini. While this may help attract customers, depending on your physique, and keep you cooler than t-shirts, it can also spell disaster in the sun. Avoiding sunburn is important if you want to keep cool and comfortable at an outdoor flea market. Wear a loose-fitting white or pale color shirt and a hat to deal with the heat. Lightweight shorts are a good idea as well.
Outdoor Flea Market Hot Weather Tip - Sunscreen
Slather sunscreen with a high enough SPF onto all exposed skin before you head to the outdoor flea market for a day of selling. Be sure to get your head if you are a balding man, the back of your neck, and your legs and feet if they are not protected by socks or shoes. Do not gamble on getting an outdoor flea market position facing awary from the direct sun.
Outdoor Flea Market Hot Weather Tip - Water
Cool water is a must when selling all day at an outdoor flea market during the hot summer months. Many vendors bring small coolers or large thermoses stocked with water and ice. Keeping hydrated properly can reduce the risk of heat stroke and general discomfort. Keep extra water on hand to cool off with. Pouring some water on a bandana and putting it under your hat is a great way to release heat more quickly.
Outdoor Flea Market Hot Weather Tip - Additional Aids
Umbrellas to block the sun's rays are a great help in the hot summer months. Be sure the outdoor flea market allows their use before putting one up. Also be sure to secure it well so it does not blow over onto your or another vendor's merchandise. Handheld umbrellas in light colors also work.
Fans are another great aid to keep cool at the flea market. Battery operated mini-fans can provide a cool breeze perfect for your face. Some include spray bottles that blow a fine mist over you. Paper, fabric, or other handheld fans can be effective at providing a slight breeze to increase comfort.
