Colin Green replied to Amy DeFiore's discussion New to the group and Outdoor display question in the group Startup Central"I sell at farmers markets in Sydney Australia. The temperatures can be up to 40 degrees C (104 F) and above and it is challenging. You need to look after your stock but even more is the problem that many people won't buy when it gets hot as…"
