Are Crochet Markets Worth It? Year 1 Update 

As someone who lives in a small community less than 5k and surrounding areas are less than 10k with exception of a bigger city about 35 minutes away. I am going to try to get into that market e ery Friday night and another one on Saturday morning about 30 minutes away other direction. Hoping for a better year this year. It takes me about 50 minutes for me and husband to set up and tear down our displays and load truck. I take enough for 3 6ft tables each time. I keep things boxed by price point so set up is easier and tear down is reverse order. We pack vehicle by first inside , like tables, tablecloths, bins I set up table while husband brings in product then I fill bins.

Great video. I enjoy seeing a breakdown of your shows and how much you made. I think is important to have a reachable goal but at the same time understanding that weather and foot traffic can change everything.

Thank you for great the video. My awesome goal is 10x booth fee, my great goal is 7x and my and good goal is 5x. Anything below that and I have to really consider doing that market again. I did 19 markets last year. It was my test year so now I know what is good and isn’t.

Hello. Very interesting video. I have a question. Are the amounts mentioned what you earned that day or your benefit? I mean, are your costs already deduced (market fees, fuel, supplies to lake your plushie, etc.)? And it you agree to answer this, what us your average price? I'm from Belgium. My daughter tried to sell paracird equipment for horses and afterwards, some small items like keychains, dolls, etc. And... People are not ready to spend money for those items. She could sell some haters to the dedicated population during a jumping event but her earnings were very low and fortunately, we had no fees to pay to be there. Thanks for your answers.

What part of the country do you do your events?
