A peddler is a person who sells goods, often traveling from place to place to reach customers. Traditionally, peddlers would carry their products in a cart or on their backs, offering items like food, clothing, or household goods. This practice was common before the rise of permanent shops and markets. Today, the term can also refer to street vendors or those who sell products at fairs and markets. Peddlers often engage directly with customers, providing a personal touch to their sales. They may sell handmade items, antiques, or other unique products, contributing to local economies and communities.
