How to personalize a template

Strong market description tells the reader what kind of market this is, how a shopper moves between vendors, what transaction cue applies at a particular stall, where crowd or delivery pressure changes the lane and how weather or opening/closing activity alters the route. It avoids treating bargaining, cash, pricing, licensing, hygiene or opening practice as universal.

  1. 1
    Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
  2. 2
    Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
  3. 3
    Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
  4. 4
    Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
  5. 5
    Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
