Has anyone ever tried stealing? I always wondered how you keep track of everything, especially if its busy, also have never done a convention, though it seems very scary at least for me...

Cool!

17 minutes in and I’m learning so much 🤩 This video is golden!

KZfaqr: "allow me to over explai-" I'm already seated girl

I’m a sewist, not an illustrator but I sat here and watched this whole video. Love your sense of humor! Great video ❤

Separating every print design into their own bags is such a good idea! I always waste so much time digging through trying to find one print during transactions 😵‍💫

Your table is so stinking cute! I've been stressing about changing the way I display my mini prints, and this helped me get my thoughts organized. *Chef's kiss*

I loved this whole video! I would definitely be down for more content like this in the future!

those sticker trays are nice! most often they're way too deep and bulky

Thank you for the in depth steps to setting up your booth! It's really fun to see and I learned some really good tips.

this is awesome info thank you!! I'm still very much a baby in merch artist category (im designing my first stickers) and to hope reach this level and have my own booth someday at a convention! I just recently found your channel and you make something like vending at an artist alley seem much more possible in my eyes thank you so much! and you're an inspiration :D

YEEES love this

The Miffy sticker sheets are sooo cute !!! Idk if you’ll be in Montreal for the otakuthon (just discovered your channel) but I’d love to get my hands on those stickers ❤

Wowie, video quality just keeps getting better and better~ ❤❤❤

Gurlll thank u, my stickers never cut well and now I know that is because of the setting

Thanks for sharing your method with us! I recently started making my own stickers and am very confused as to which paper to use. PPD is a really good paper, but it's a little blue and... Right now I'm using HTV, but I'm concerned about the thinness (it turns out that the matte laminate I'm using warps when applied to thin paper) But after watching this video, I'm still thinking about going with PPD. The problem is that it's too thick to cut properly with Silhouette lol.

Excellent music selection 👍🏽

Exactly the video I was looking for, thank you! Also, in case you’re not aware, the cricut software has a feature called “offset” which can add the border for the stickers! 😊

Aye thanks for this! Been grinding making my own stickers and I use procreate but then export to photoshop to add the outline and it takes soooo long. This helped a bunch haha Ty

Oh my goodness Turtoial please!!! It’s gorgeous and super satisfying

I'm still amazed how much money you and others pull in from these events. I'm usually lucky to break 2k on a big event.

I just finished my first sticker design so this came at the perfect time 😭😭❤️ thank you so much for the step by step instructions! Very helpful!

Do you have a video or post about the thing you use to display your hanging prints?

Fantastic vlog and amazing table set up! Love your new items. I also felt that 40% drop in sales in most of my event this year, it's been a rough one. I'm glad you did well regardless!

Great video! Definitely felt that 30% drop from last year, still a super good show regardless. Also I think about the SJ food almost every day

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

where can i find ur snoopy stickers c:

I’m an SJ local, and in addition to layoffs, the cost of living here is one of the highest in the country. Another factor might be that SJMade has been hosting a lot more local craft markets in recent years, so a lot of people go to those to shop since they don’t have entrance fees and you see a lot of the same artists you would at larger cons. Like they just had a huge outdoor market last weekend with live music and a kitten lounge. So I imagine that probably drew some of the sales, since people who mostly go to cons to shop might choose to just wait for the market instead of purchasing a con ticket.

Amazing Vlog showcasing the artists! We were at Fanime 2024 and we interviewed 60 cosplayers for our channel. Day 1 is already uploaded.

haha i do that tape strips thingy for my shop too! >;3 I gotta come say hi if I ever sell at the same con with you! -Allison/Picklemimi

To add into the final part with the lay offs, I was one of them :') I really wanted to go this year but decided against it 😭

So pretttyyy

what the hell kinda con goes into a Monday????

as someone who has only done a few markets and made 134 at most these numbers are wild! congrats!

That intro transition was sooo good!!! Glad this con went well! You're doing amazinggg!! Keep on keeping onn! ❤❤❤

Are you doing anime impulse in phoenix :)?

I bought both of your Snoopy sheets! I was so happy to see them since I loved them growing up. Great to see an artist perspective for fanime :) Also your aisle display strat was very effective!

excuse me maam the transitions in the beginning? 😗🤌 and u had two events at same time?! 👏 I noticed its a lot harder this year on traveling cons, but at least u are killing it and made back expenses!

sweet intro >:3c love the vlog!!

Love everything about this vlog! The cuts, editing, vibes, and you sharing your experiences and thoughts. ❤

This is so good, your editing is so good☺☺

I attended Fanime this year. I did hear of the staff walkouts but I honestly didn't think it impacted attendance numbers simply by how crowded everything was (I could be wrong... only someone with the actual attendee numbers could say). From my personal perspective, Artist Alley was just TOO crowded. I couldn't really stop at many of the tables to see what people were selling (or just... get down an alleyway to see the tables. It was a wall of human bodies in several of them) Plus the prices for products had gone up and yeah, money has gotten tighter overall for many, so at least for me, I had to be more selective with what I decided to buy. As for Friday, not sure if it's a common thing in anime cons, but there was a long line just... waiting to get into the artist alley and vendor halls before 2PM. I almost thought it was a celeb signing line, but nope. Just general artist alley/vendor halls entry.

that into Transistion was on point!!

Sales are definitely down. We had more items this year and we did about the same (slightly lower). Monday was usually a spike of sales to get deals but it was so dead! (PS: we're in the exhibit hall selling prints and original work)

I want to get some of those Snoopy stickers for my mom! I think she'd love them

loved this vlog, your reflections and critiques are so insightful for someone new to the con scene 💕

Wish I had stopped by your booth! This was my first time tabling at Fanime and it was amazing for us! But please, could you tell me where the good food is in San Jose? Because we were pretty disappointed by the local options :(

Thanks for your videos - I love them! I think this year is harder all around for vendors due to the economy.

Thanks for sharing! It was my first sjmade event and I did feel disappointed but it's nice knowing that other people felt it was slower event. I do feel like 300+ vendors is A LOT and I hope that since sjmade seems to be hosting more events throughout the year that they won't have as many for each one ;-;

Love your display! Where did you get your backdrop and table runner and tablecloth?
