I think most people don't understand how long crochet items can take to make up. So especially when they look at the impkins for example, they see something small and think... I'm not paying that for something so small.

@darkdest6664 28 күн бұрын

ik i just packed all mine away to send to my gma to sell and im thinking of unpacking them and repricing them lower bec that made me nervous. I have mine at $25 but all the accessories are removable and you can buy add on clothing items. Im prob going to leave mine they way they are but i AM sending mine TO cali and to a wealthy part of the state so im prob fine... still makes me scared they arent going to sell esp bec they took MONTHS to make.

@fancydeer 28 күн бұрын

@@darkdest6664 it should be okay if it's going to be in a wealthier neighborhood! you have to consider your client base/the community you're selling to. If you're in a community where everyone is working min wage then $25 for a single item might be a big ask, if you're in a community where people are middle class $25 is something that people may be willing to splurge on to support a small business.

Last time i purchased crochet items at a market was for my kids and the chick selling them goes aw they are this much because the yarn is so expensive and i said dont explain to me i crochet and u dont have to explain to anyone. She told me she normally had to explain her prices to everyone

@ginahorvath9663 Күн бұрын

Seems like the small items take me more time. And I never charge what it’s worth. I’d rather sell it, than be a stickler on the price.

Glad the Mushroom Impkin did not sell - Because I just ordered it for my kid - "Delicious in Dungeon" fan! Yay me! Thank you, Paige. I love all the impkins!

@tulip7903 28 күн бұрын

looks like you sold a lot! it's tough for noncrocheters/crafters to get why something so smol is worth so much. i would have a hard time pricing things lower than i know they're worth; we all deserve to be paid fairly for our labor.

@flowerlovediary 27 күн бұрын

I LOVE the checkered bags! My thought on the reason for not purchasing them would be the fact that it doesn’t have a zipper. I’m paranoid about my things falling out of pockets/bags that don’t have any kind of closure. So that could be why they didn’t sell. They are super cute, and definitely well worth the price!

@amricatt 26 күн бұрын

This is exactly why I came to comment. It's too small of a bag without a zipper for me.

honestly I saw the price and was very surprised how low it was

@okuyraii902 28 күн бұрын

honestly, I think you under price some items and the reason they didn’t sell is because it didn’t reach the right person yet. Im selling my beanies for $35 and people buy them no problem because they genuinely want them and are interested in supporting me. Your doing great and don’t lower the price if they didn’t sell that time, try to stick with the price and I know its so hard because I used to sell my paintings for $20!! Now I sell them for $150. Do price of materials x time + $/hr ❤️❤️❤️

@myragroenewegen5426 28 күн бұрын

My thought on low sellers: -That kindle cover is everything, but not everybody owns a kindle. If you add two d-rings to the sides, to allow it to carry vertically as a purse, I'd buy it in a snap. Or, really, anything with this colourful, interesting pattern on it that I cold use. -the check purses are a tad small for the price, but simple things add versitility. Again side d-rings that allow people towear a purse cross-body will appeal to a whole other kind of purse carrier, and adding just a simple flat patch pocket into the lining helps there be just a little more organization inside, which counts for a lot. This could be somebody's all-the-time purse, so the option to wear it hands free and abny extra internal organization pockets help sell that. I expect making the colours and pattern of the kindle sleeve as a 3D lined bag with crossbody capability would be a fair bit harder, but that's what these make me long for.

@michelledoesitall 28 күн бұрын

update: i ordered the kindle cover! cant waittt! I've been following this market journey and you've inspired me to set a goal of doing my own in the Fall! I think the purses don't sell because, as far as I can tell, they don't have a zipper or closure. I personally am very clumsy and carefree with my bag and would worry about my stuff falling out. Maybe if you added those metal magnet button closures it would help? also I'm shocked the kindle cover didn't sell!!

I would have bought all of the bowl cozies 😂 I’ve always loved those things! Also good for cereal!! Put a bowl of cereal in one when you set up in summer ( or fake ice cream)

@crystal6381 17 күн бұрын

i think the checkered bags will sell around valentines day, maybe with a cute fuzzy keychain attached and the string of pearls plant could maybe have sequins or beads sewn on. the bowl cozies you could sell w a beautiful bowl, maybe even a handmade bowl so that people can really see their use. also the tarot card bags you could market as card bags, they would sell to any audience. just some ideas offhand :)

I think it's the economy, to be honest. It sucks. I like to window shop, but I can't bring myself to buy a 36 dollar purse. Not because I don't think it's worth it, but because I have to consider what else I may need to buy or what other expenses might come up. Also, I have a hard time buying "frivolous" things for myself, because the economy is so costly just for the necessities. One thing to consider (which you did) is that maybe the vibe of that market was just not the right vibe. Here's to trying again! ❤❤

@laly1able 27 күн бұрын

one of the reasons the tarot wrap might not have sold well is the sizing. Different decks have different sizes, I would be very hesitant to buy one already made and risk my cards not fitting in properly by being too big or too little, and it’s a very simple project, so many who are interested in a deck wrap would make one themselves (mine unfolds to be a big square towel, so I can read anywhere and keep them protected from dirt)

@fancydeer 28 күн бұрын

It's likely prices. People don't understand (or care) that hand made items take longer to make and that you're paying the creator for their time and for the materials. Like, okay sure you might be able to buy a plush or a bag for less at a shop but you're not actually paying the person who created that *specific* item. The person who put together that item you buy in the shop did it for pennies on the dollar and will never be given fair compensation for their work. Handmade items that are being sold in a market/fair are priced to give the creator compensation for their time and effort and skill. Ugh, sorry for the rant. It's so frustrating to see people talking about "child labor bad" "no to sweat shops" but then turn around and refuse to buy from craftspeople who actually handmake things b/c "it costs too much, I could buy it on X-drop shipping site for pennies".

Something that has helped me sell more in the past is double stranding my acrylic yarn. It takes the same amount of time but is sooooo much bigger! Acrylic is pretty cheap so it doesn"t affect me with the price really. But I mostly do plushies. So this might not work with other items such as bags or accessories.

I think for the string-of-pearls hanging plant if you had changed the colors like you mentioned I would buy it for more then $15, I was surprised you priced it low when it looks like a complicated pattern, Id expect at least 20-25 just looking at it. Then again, I am a crocheter, and know how long things can take lol
