I live in UK and many years ago worked in a shop and found if I put (full priced) items into a big box, customers flocked to it thinking they were getting a bargain!! I put a sign on the box saying prices as marked on individual items. I did this once a month and never ever had anyone question it even though the same items were priced and displayed on the shelves….not my fault they didn’t come into the shop proper! 🤭😉

If you saw my IG post of my display I had all the price points in one basket and the parents would tell the kids "you can pick from here or here" and they just dug 🤷🏼♀️

It boggles my mind how many people think it is ok to let their children disrespect other peoples stuff! I’m glad they had to pay for the things that were broken. Maybe they learned a lesson? I love the 3D printed stuff. We have a craft lab at my local library that has 3D printers that you can use to make whatever you want as long as it doesn’t take more then a hours to print. It’s sooo fun! I’m so glad you were at least able to clear out some of your older stuff and that you had a better market this time. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!!

I was definitely fascinated by the 3 D toys I won’t even pretend to understand how it’s done but it is extremely cool!

Those kids were a nightmare! Not once did I hear their Mom say “stop it”. Sure hope they don’t show up next Saturday at my market! I thought that 3D stuff was amazing, but I still don’t get how it works! Glad you made some money this time! 🦋💖

Nightmare, is a slight understatement. You are right the mom never tried to put them in check. I don't understand how the 3D stuff works, but it was cool she was so into it. You can tell she loves talking about it.

You know you could try doing some baskets on some items and then other items on the shelves you know that way you’ve got a variety of both ways of displaying.

I think you DO need a display where a few items can be seen to attract people to your table. And then smaller stuff to dig through.

My last market I did the same. Sold 44 items and 28 of them were out of thd CL bin. For that location I think I will continue the CL bin. I already have my 5 and 8 bins. I do like it because I am not pressured to have a full or half bin of the same stuff.

It's just something about the word clearance, people love it. Congrats on a successful market. Agree, sometimes onesies are enough and a mixed bin is perfect for that.

If kids are swinging stuff around and picking up everything, the parent should do their job and tell them to stop. I get picking up one or two things, but not everything. The table looks great.

I agree with you about separating your sale items and still giving people the pleasure of digging through to get a bargain. I'm going to try it at my next market because I have accumulated items I need gone to make way for newer items and to keep the regular shoppers intrigued with "what will she have this time" I have a few girls that look forward to getting a different $5 to $10 item each market (this is what their mum told me)

Your plushies look so amazing in your market set-up. Your prices are so reasonable and you work so hard. I wish you the best and we all are rooting for your success. Your possum is so cute. I really have to get that pattern, which i think is your pattern, if i’m not mistaken. I also need to get your dragon pattern and i will, i promise. 😊

I'm glad this was a better market and that you got to yarn swap with Sue! The basket idea sounds fun, letting them dig for treasure ☺️ I am so jealous of the 3D dragon! I've seen them online but haven't noticed anyone local doing them. Though that's probably because I work weekends and don't get to the fun markets around here 🤔

Are there other farmers markets near you? Maybe try somewhere else? It’s really difficult trying to get into these shows isn’t it? I am in eastern North Carolina. It only cost $10 to set up inside a nice bldg, everybody was super nice. I sold $365 in 4 hours. Think that’s where I will go all the rest of this year until last of November.

Hi Robin! Thank you so much for the pattern info. Think I will make some of the cats for Halloween. Been doing markets also this year. Have you tried a farmers market? Just did 1st one Saturday and it was great! So many kids that bought plushies. Just an idea for you.

I was supposed to be doing a farmers market 1st Saturday of each month. But they messed up and didn’t have my info from me applying in January and did the same thing the next month so I’m stubborn told them to forget it!

Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring and am hoping to try a market someday. Although I’d love to (and feel confident they’d sell well), I’m worried about making and selling copyrighted things, like the Patrick figure, etc. I’d love to make and sell some of those types of characters but am afraid of getting sued someday for copyright or trademark infringement. Do you know of a work-around or have advice on making and selling copyrighted/trademarked items?
