I am glad you had a great first market,, I have been doing markets for 3 years and I have never hit the 500 dollar mark. Maybe I am in part of the world where people just don't like to spend alot on what I sell. Love your channel :)

@crochetmezaddy 7 ай бұрын

Who knows! I think the combination of stall set up, positions and market uniqueness were the main factors for this result 🥰

@robynmusto 7 ай бұрын

This is so interesting. Thanks for the breakdown. I feel like markets are way too much work for me personally but I enjoy seeing other crocheters do markets. I think your craftsmanship is better than most plushie makers, so I'm not surprised you did very well ☺

I personally, would love to “meet” your bf and hear their take on things from that perspective, you know? If nothing else, perhaps you could get their thoughts offline and share here (or with us patrons! Lol). Congrats, again, Zac. So happy for you! Cheers! ☺️🧶🫶🏻 Lisa

I’m so happy to hear that you had a good market especially for it being your first one! :) This was a good video and covered many things so I enjoyed listening. I liked hearing your thoughts on the whole experience and what you sold (good, bad, notable mentions). Looking forward to your next video ❤️

Thank you! I wanted to be very intentional with everything I was sharing - I wasn’t sure about including the “not best sellers” part but but decided it was important for me for future markets aswell a who knows, the next one might have a completely different result!

Some insights on the tip jar as someone who does a lots of markets in the US: if you are providing a service/product that gets made there in the moment, then a tip jar is common. Food vendors, face painters, and balloon artists would likely have tip jars. If you are just selling items made prior to the market, a tip jar would be strange.

I've started doing light commissions for my plushies, they aren't the greatest quality because I've only been crocheting for a month or so. But I'm so excited to get money for my craft!

Squids are cute but could be just not its day, next market! I don’t see anything wrong with facing ladybug backwards. It’s the ladybug portion they need to see. Your reindeer were so cute, no wonder they sold out.

@helenmears6178 6 ай бұрын

Not always easy to price well. I make off loom beaded jewellery, some pieces take me 3 or 4 hrs or sometimes longer, I sell them for £20 -£25 each, just couldn't sell them for anymore. Not fair but that's how it is.😢

You should try setting the lady bugs and snails in front of a mirror so the customer can see both sides.

So proud of you on your first market. If you do want to do the white stands maybe instead of buying new ones you could maybe paint the ones you already have white. If he's up to it would love hear what tips your boyfriend with his background.

The squids were so cute, i need to make them! 🥹 i feel like yes the prices are quite high BUT if you think about it you need to be paid for making the actual plushies but also all the prep work + the time you spent at the market.. it's a lot! Good job 👏🎉
