Frankly you can't go wrong with a colorful display of cherries.
I thought I had a pic of our stand with the tomatoes but couldn't find anything.
We do 1 row of pints / variety and alternate colors depending on what we have that day. We also try to be sure to put the variety name on them too as that helps sell them. When customers invariably ask "which is the sweetest ?" I tell them "everyone's taste is different. Try some samples and see which YOU like". The tasting is what sells them.
Depending on your market those heirloom cherries may open people up to trying the larger heirlooms.
Sure cherry tomatoes are more work to pick. But they get people looking at other kinds of tomatoes. And it's not as hard to have good heirloom cherries as it is to have good looking large heirlooms that people just turn their nose at because they aren't "perfect".
