I attended two different events this weekend and sold plushies !! I have never attempted this before 😅🤭
I have an amazing time doing markets/events , if you’re watching this and prepping for your own market I have a couple of suggestions that genuinely might help you🫶🏻
Spreadsheet by CrochetbyBay/ helped me get the financials in order, easy to use $20 investment.
Market checklist by Camryn’s cute creations/ help the reference everything I needed to bring!

😂😂 I love how the last beer mug looks drunk! Maybe on the mystery boxes you can put a little sticker that says “meow!” So it’s hinting they’re kitties

I’m so happy your market the next day went better than the first one!! That fee was crazy for the first event too😩 Your brother looks like he has such a kind spirit like you! Love that he comes with you to markets and it’s just “hang out” day with his big sister💕🥹🥰

The little shrimp is so cute!! 🥰 I always try to have baby friendly items, so I chose the scout the Sea Turtle as my item I always embroider eyes on.

I started last year with craft fairs and watching vlogs - I do sewn home and personal items and crafty gifts - carnival events are not good for wholesome goods - they love those knock off printed dtf things - tumblers and whatnot especially if they’re tacky with curse words. Whereas they’d rather not think about gifts or “mama would love this” stuff when they’re drinking - they’d rather buy the lit up plastic toys that are all over carnivals. It’s been a learning curve for sure. It seems to me that the crochet is really selling out at the conventions - “madewithapril” - and several other crochet creatives on KZfaq. Such an investment - I did my first convention - board game convention because I was taking my kids there anyhow and it paid for itself 🎉 a win for us and we’re sure to do better next year! Your brother is so sweet - my kids are my partners too in all this - I hope the adults in your life are being supportive behind the scenes - markets are such a grind - can be fulfilling but such a “trial by fire” ❤️

I have been running my own handmade hair bow business for 11 years now and something I am a little confused about. You mentioned calculating your material costs. This isn't your first event so I guess my question is do you not invest your profits right back into your business? Unless you are taking the money from your 9-5 job and purchasing supplies from this paycheck then I would assume you're using the profits from your crochet business and using that to restock yarn etc in which case you do not need to remove your material costs from your profits as you've already paid for them with profits. Unless of course you've spent over what your profits were. When starting up a business there is always a start up cost but I would assume by now you're past that part. Right now I am expanding my displays by purchasing 3 more grid walls and hooks however I am purchasing these from PROFITS from my business so it's not an additional expense I am simply reinvesting the profits into my business to better it. ***Please don't confuse this with PRICING your items accordingly with your time/material costs*** I was going to suggest the Ryobi fans from Home Depot I do not recommend the mister however they do have a 7.5" battery fan Whisper fan that is freaking AMAZING (the $59 one)!!! They also have a small 150 watt inverter which is soooo very useful for recharging my square reader or my phone for longer multi day events. I used to do multi day Hot air balloon festivals which are CRAZY BUSY!!!! The inverter is also useful for night markets so you can plug in USB lights!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Ryobi products and honestly with you being in Florida they are investments well worth making especially since you deal with Hurricanes and frequent crazy weather that can result in power outages!! Every year during Ryobi days which is actually going on now I purchase a couple more batteries to keep growing my batteries on hand! To ME it's an investment well worth having as an extra insurance emergency prep item as well as useful for my home business. Last thing lol there is NO WAY in the world I would let my customers know that I am charging them any type of transaction fee for using their cards!!! I calculate this into the cost of the items just like I calculate the cost of packaging into the price I charge. As a customer this would definitely detour me from purchasing from a vendor! The less they know they are paying for the better, some things are better left unknown!!

Liz!!! Thank you so much for this whole comment! I really appreciate the fan information, I’m going to be checking those out! Also, I have a pricing calculator to figure out how much $ materials each project takes (which really just helps me determine prices for plushies) I hadn’t thought of it the way you explained. I definitely had material cost when I initiated the business, which was paid for by 9 to 5. When I really think about it, I’m already making back material cost when I charge for each item😅🤣 so I was subtracting from my personal profits mentally when really I’m accounting for that and the cost of the item🫠 thank you for saying something because I really would’ve kept calculating the materials out of my genuine profit! I definitely don’t want to deter people by adding another charge onto each item like you said as well, I also don’t want to increase the price of my items by $0.50 meaning possible dollar up charge on everything? Seriously, thank you for bringing all this up ☺️🥹

The word you are looking for is HELL. Not as a curse word, but as the literal burning lake of fire HELL. Also, somewhat literal on the Lake part since the humidity in the South is also....ugh. (I'm in Southeast Louisiana for reference and I have my first market of the summer this coming Saturday.)
