@Marqaisa 9 ай бұрын

Definitely don't shortchange yourself. I think your plushies are pretty reasonable. In price. Plus you have the fallback of putting them on your Etsy shop to find them a good home so it's not like you put all your chips on selling out at the markets you attend. I don't know how many markets you have planned for the holiday season but I bet your sales will increase when it gets closer to the "gift buying rush". And yes weather does play a factor in foot traffic but advertising for the event also comes into play. Don't lose heart. You can do this, girl.

@margaretdocena3932 9 ай бұрын

Great video!! I dunno if it's a good idea or not, but you could try focusing on making smaller/less expensive plushies for markets, but have a deal where if a customer spends like $15+ then they can be entered into a raffle to win one of your large plushies for free. That may encourage customers to buy more, and then you can spread the cost of the big plushie into the prices for your smaller ones. Feel free to ignore if it's a bad idea 😅

@shailynrussell4749 9 ай бұрын

No I actually feel like that’s such a good idea. I definitely feel a raffle would make people buy more. And like every extra $10 spent over the 15 could be an extra ticket/name for the raffle. So the more they buy, the more likely they are to win the big plushie!

I don’t understand some of the comments here saying that her prices are high. The prices of the smaller pieces are actually priced lower than the usual. I myself makes and sale amigurumi plushies and I can tell you that I won’t price those hens at $10. Handcrafted items are never cheap, but not outrageously priced as well.

On Saturday I was on a flea market at the village next to ours and I took some of my crochet plushies with me. I only did it „just for fun“, because I had no idea if anyone would buy anything. I was very surprised that I sold some of my crochet plushied. You know what sold best? Mini Octopi made by your pattern!🥰 But if I do a market again, I will also price up, because I sold them a little too cheap. Thank you so much for your inspiring videos!🥰

They end up being so expensive!!! I love all your videos, your such an inspiration, thanks 😁 EDIT: i think the only reason some of those popular things didn't sell is because people dont get how hard it is to make the things us crocheters make, or how time consuming it really is😓

Hi Genna!!👋 Your videos are great love watching them! I have been crocheting for years and a "little" 😉 older than u...being my age I didn't think I could really start a small business but watching u and Katie being creative has inspired me to go for it!!❤ Your prices are exactly what I would charge, I find your prices to be extremely fair and less than other designers charge. Because I love u so much I did want to throw it out there that the O in opossum is silent. My dad was a zookeeper for 13 years so I am sure the O is silent...lol...unless it varies depending on where u live in the country?! Just thought of that. Anyway THANKS for being so transparent and sharing ur talents with us!!😊

@simplefaithanddaisies 7 ай бұрын

you are doing great. love watching your videos. I know that i saw another crafter professional say she weighs the yarn. So you use scales for like mail or food. weigh yarn before using without label, then after you crochet that project, weigh that same skein of yarn. this helps you know your cost by weight to better help you price things, especially since we can get yarn on sale, but i would keep your 'cost' per skein at regular price (even if you got it on sale which you can note in your finances to know you earned even more profit) but when you price the items, do it based on regular price for that yarn. I hope that is helpful. You are such a joy to watch and you are very talented. WHen you held up your "small child" size turtle which i call child-size turtle.. and hugged it, I was like, I'm 52yr old and I need that turtle~! So you are a good seller!
