The Barbados Association of Retailers, Vendors and Entrepreneurs (BARVEN) is stepping up its promotional efforts to boost customer turnout and increase sales at Bridgetown Market over the Foreday weekend.

Preparations are continuing for the three-day event, which is being staged in collaboration with the National Cultural Foundation, beginning a week from Friday, said BARVEN former vice president Erskine Forde.

“We need more patrons coming; that’s something that we are working on. We have to do up some ads and so on.”
