If you run a small farm and have a few chickens that produce eggs for you to sell at a local market, it's important to put some thought into the cardboard cartons that you use. It's common for egg vendors to use standard egg cartons that are commonly gray or brown in color. It's useful to know that there are other options available on the market. Some companies produce colored egg cartons that hold half a dozen eggs. These cartons are available in a wide range of colors, so you'll have no trouble choosing hues that appeal to you — and that will appeal to your customers. Here are three reasons to use colored egg cartons.
They Stand Out More
When you set a number of egg cartons on a shelf or display table at your local market, you want them to catch the attention of people in the area. There's little question that colored egg cartons will do a better job of this. For example, if some other vendors have brown or gray cartons and you have cartons that are red, blue, or yellow, your display will stand out. Ideally, this will cause people to approach your vendor stand and decide to buy your eggs.
They're Ideal For Certain Occasions
At certain times of the year, you might decorate your vendor stand to suit the occasion. You'll find that colored egg cartons can be an asset at these times. For example, when you're selling eggs in the weeks prior to Christmas, choosing green and red cartons — and perhaps positioning them in a repeating pattern — can add to the festive look of your stand. At Easter, cartons in a variety of pastel colors that are popular at this time of the year, including pastel yellow, blue, and pink, can work well alongside other Easter items.
They're Good For Children's Crafts
An internet search will reveal countless ways that families can use egg cartons for children's crafts. When parents and their kids visit your local market, they may see your colorful egg cartons and think of their potential for crafts. Even if the family doesn't need eggs at that particular time, they might buy a six-egg carton primarily because of how the carton would work well for an upcoming craft. This can help you to make sales that you might not otherwise make. Look online to find a vendor that sells colored 6-egg cartons.
