Sales & Purchasing

Market traders sell a wide variety of products at weekly or special goods markets in a region or throughout Switzerland and are often on the move, usually specialising in a specific product range. They advise customers on the production and use of the products and organise the stall. They also take care of all the administrative work (orders, stall authorisations) as well as managing the cash register and accounts.
