A couple of suggestions: 1) have more inventory, 2) make a list of your inventory, 3) put your coasters in sets of four, 4) did not see if you had bags, signage, nor where you can be found on social media nor where you sell online (Etsy, Shopify) QR codes would be helpful. Make multiples of each so you don not loose sales as you did on your first market. I am only trying to be helpful because I would love to see you become more successful in your craft fairs. Good luck on your next one.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Thanks so much!! Yes, definitely will make more inventory next time. I did have some signs with my social media and I handed out cards :) but these tips are great!! Thank you!

@carolcrockett2586 Год назад

How would you suggest using QR codes?

@crochetbygenna Год назад

@@carolcrockett2586 I personally got a QR code for my shop and printed it out really big on a piece of regular computer paper -- it looked nice and pretty in one of the acrylic sign holders I got! I know other people like to link the QR to their Venmo or social media

@liz-gk1sv Год назад

@CrochetByGenna a small investment is getting stickers with a cute designs withs a qr code/your info on them. I go to tattoo convensions and it's a very common alternative to cards as that way people are very likely to stick your design on their notebooks or phones and are more likely to hold on to your info, and constantly be reminded of your work. Plus I think you can get them for fairly cheap, and everyone loves free stickers c:

@nefertitimontoya Год назад

Congrats!! I recommend having a spreadsheet of all the items (you can even print it off if you don't wanna have a laptop out), that has a column for price and at least checking off if it sold. That way you won't have to write anything when you make a sale except any receipt info you wanna take like time stamps or order numbers to track multiple items per purchase.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

@@moldycarrot9085 I used the one from this one seller on etsy, it was a super cheap pattern too! I linked all of the pattern urls on my "market prep" video hehe :)

@KennaLynnOfficial Год назад

I recommend that you type out a list of your items and their prices. Print it and put in on a clipboard. When you make a sale just put a tally mark next to the items that sell. From there, you can easily see which items sell, at which price point. At the end of the market, I put details as to set up, location, where the table was, weather, contact person, traffic, marketing, etc. Then put it in a binder to keep track and compare to next year. I also recommend more signage, more inventory, etc.

YOU GAVE ME SO MUCH MOTIVATION!!! Me and a friend of mine wants to go to a market and sell stuff! But this would also be our first market and we dont know if we could aford it. We we’re having doubts about how much money we would make but this video gave us motivation!! Thank you so much girly

I highly recommend getting supplies from the thrift store to start! It's inexpensive, and very affordable. I get most of my yarns and threads from there. I just rewind them into hanks and wash them. :)

Having a range of prices is always good. A lot of things under $20 for impulse buys, but also some around $30 and $50+, even $100+ for people looking for the perfect extravagant gift.

I have a sneaking suspicion as someone who goes to craft markets that mini things will be your go-to. I love buying from multiple different stores at markets and like to get multiple small things instead of one more expensive thing from one store.

@NakedToastersS 11 месяцев назад

Yess!! I love this for you! But I do have some commentary , I think that the reason that people there didn’t buy stuff that you would normally be your best seller online is because of pricing and convenience, what I’m saying is that when you normally buy something online you know what you want to buy, for example if I know I’m going to buy something from your shop that’s 40 dollars it’s something I probably have been waiting to buy for a while and I’ve been saving up for it, but if I’m going to a market and I see the same item for 40 dollars I’m most likely not going to buy it because I probably don’t want to spend so much money at one place and for such a big purchase it’s something I would have to think about. But the reason your smaller items/cheaper items sell better at the in real life sale is because it’s cheap and it’s not so much money to the point where you have to question whether or not it’s really worth it to spend so much money on something , I’m not sure if that makes sense ?? But I’m 15 so take that as you will , and also maybe you priced it differently from in person compaired to online because it’s probably more nerve racking and it’s easier to set a high price for somebody online because you don’t see their reaction but in person you see their reaction and your more likely to give in and sell for cheaper

@crochetbygenna you're welcome! I'm working on building stock now for my etsy shop, and this video inspired me greatly! I'm 16 and don't have a license yet, so selling stuff online is one of the only ways I can make money since my parents don't want to drive me to a job.

@macymiller3417 Год назад

I don’t make 1k or 2k either. My best market was $900 ish but that was like insanity and shocking. I normally make $200-$400 ish unless market is bad. So do you recommend starting off with some bigger plushes on etsy?! I was gonna try smaller but my small sell well in person. My big items take a while to move and I have to price lower then I want.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Ah that's amazing, $900 is wild! And honestly my big plushies are my best sellers on my Etsy! I never really sell that many minis lol it's so funny how selling in person vs online is so different. You never know though, maybe smaller items will sell better in your shop

@MissHolly-ti5df Год назад

Thank you for sharing. Everything was adorable.. love. The Bees bzzbzz

@lifeunfiltered4822 Год назад

Also wanted to say about markets- I always look to see if there's anyone else there selling the same thing and if so I make sure I'm not undercutting their prices because that's just really rude, I don't want to steal their sales. I have honey from my bees but don't sell it at my farmers market bc there's another person who was already attending before me and they list their honey at half my price and I wasn't going to lower my prices down to theirs so I just don't bother. But also, the prices don't really matter. I say that because if they want the item they will pay got it. I've sold jewelry, the same piece might sell for 8 and do well but when I'm tired of that design and mark it down to get rid of it, that same piece won't sell now even at just a dollar. I think the prices being too low is a turn off. So list your items what they're worth to you. There are all the fees for markets and stuff. And about possums, yes there is a cult following of people who are obsessed with possums so they are always gonna be a hot item.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Awww thanks so much for this! Totally agree with you!! Luckily I was the only crochet seller but I’d definitely be mindful of my prices if there were additional sellers. Love this advice❤️ and lol the cult following for possums😂

Awesome to see that your first market went so well! I've been thinking a lot lately about doing a market too but I've been really nervous about actually going through with it. Would you say that people would be less willing to buy something if it was cash only? I don't want to have to mess with electronic payments but I'm worried that not having that option would drive people away.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Aww thanks so much! You got this, it’ll be a very rewarding experience for you🥰 and yeah from what I saw, majority of people wanted to pay with card due to not carrying cash with them!

I’ve been vending for several years now and I’ve found that while I always have cheaper items, I always have to have plenty of expensive items. People seem to shy away from items that seem “too cheap,” because they think it is cheaply made or in some way, “undesirable.” Not to mention, if you sell your items too cheap, you’ll burn yourself out much faster. People don’t have a problem with spending extra money on a high quality item, it gives them the sense that they are getting something of value.

@savannah4439 Год назад

I imagine that the minis might be more successful in person bc people are incidentally finding your stuff while browsing, so spending a small amount of money (under $20) seems like a reasonable impulse buy. Rather than online people are often seeking out your items and are prepared to spend larger amounts of money for that specific thing they’ve had on their mind for days/weeks

Thanks so much!!❤️ And yes so true, if anything they will catch people’s eye🥰

@ecouturehandmades5166 Год назад

Very true! I had two cat houses on my table, which brought in a lot of lookers (and sold one!). My usual items are winter hats, spa items and scrunchies. Best seller has been water balloons, but no matter how I label them, they must be explained. I keep getting asked how the balloon gets put in...

@SelenaVanHout Год назад

Totally agree with you Rachel! Last year I had a huge cloud plushie and a huge whale plushie. The cloud didn’t sell but eventually the whale did! There is always someone out there who will be drawn to the item you think is never going to sell

@Gr8fldeadhead Год назад

The prices hurt me 😩 I charge $22 for a leggy frog and I would charge probably $20 for those octopi. The jumbo turtle I would have charged $50 at least! Oh gosh I mean obviously charge what you want but know your worth!!❤❤❤

I feel that's too much, depending on how much your paying yourself for your time, the amount of toys you can get out of a 100g ball is more than enough to sell at these prices😊

@braveheart6816 Год назад

Suggestion for your little penguins! Turn them into wobbles by stuffing the base with a heavier material! This way they always stand up on their own even if pushed over. I made a little frog wobble this way and its probably my favorite thing ive made 😂

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Awww wait I love this!! A little wobbler would be so cutee🥰 thank you!

@jodoodles295 6 месяцев назад

@braveheart6816 I'm totally new to the amigurumi world. What do you put in the bottom to make it a wobble, if you don' t mind me asking. That's a great idea!

@macymiller3417 Год назад

It’s unfortunate that we have to cut our prices in person! It’s always surprising what sells and what doesn’t. People NEVER know what my chicken nuggets are either so I stopped making them. Online you can definitely get more money for plushies. I’d love to sell online but getting started makes me nervous. If you have any tips I’d love to hear. I kind of want to start slow if I start that. It was a goal for me this year

@macymiller3417 Год назад

In person is so different because at markets ppl don’t tend to want to spend a ton. It’s very odd and EVERY event is different. I’ve had some events a lot of higher priced sold and some none sold. Keep trying!! You got this

@macymiller3417 Год назад

We print a list with our items and the count and then my husband just tallies it as I sell stuff! Might be good to try in the future.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

I was so surprised people didn't know what the chicken nuggets are lol I guess we're just used to seeing them in the crochet community. I definitely will be sharing Etsy tips next week -- I'm excited for you to open your online shop!! It'll be fun and starting slow is always best!

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Oh that's so smart!! Yes, next time we'll definitely have inventory all written out beforehand and then my husband can just tally :)

Such cute items!! You definitely could double the prices on your items! I just bought some of the plush yarn to make an amigurumi for my niece-that stuff ain’t cheap!! 🥲 be kind to yourself-consider the cost to make and time spent! Congratulations on your first successful market!! 😊

@rebecca.j.hardy.author Год назад

I would love to hear how much you spent on material and time and how much you made taking that into account as well. I will be doing my first market this year and am starting my crochet early! I love the idea of using the huge skeins of soft yarn!

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Awww thank you!! For my next market prep video I'll definitely break down the material costs/time to make the plushies ❤ good luck on your first market!

@wildbnuuy3267 Год назад

Thank you for the market update! It's something I'm thinking about doing. I also wanted to say how nice and professional your videos are, I've been watching a lot of crochet content lately and a lot of people have volume issues where it's hard to make out what they're saying, or the quality isn't quite there, or they don't have the same easy flow you do, like you're a natural at being in front of the camera and interacting with people, no awkwardness.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Aw thank you so much, this is so sweet! I really do love filming these video for you guys, it's so much fun! I'm so glad you enjoy them :)

Markets in person are SO DIFFERENT than online sales! 😮 its so crazy how it goes

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Its seriously so wild!!!

@KarenMascola Год назад

To keep track of sales you could put price tags on them and tape the tags into a notebook as they sell.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Ohhh thats an amazing idea! Thank you🥰❤️

@bonnieocker7349 Год назад

I love doing markets and watching people prepping. I am usually surprised at what sales and what doesn’t sale. My first market for this year is next Saturday. It’s a pickle festival and there were 5,000 tickets sold. Who knew people love pickles so much? I have over 300 plushies made so hopefully a few people will find something that they can’t live without.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Oh my gosh that's amazing, I would love to attend a pickle festival! Best of luck, that sounds like an amazing inventory!! :)

@jas879 Год назад

How’d it go ?

@bonnieocker7349 Год назад

@@jas879 thank you for asking. I sold out of almost everything! All my small stuff went and I had a lot! I came home with a few of my larger items. I’ll email you a short video of my set up. If you see anything you would like to know where I got the pattern let me know and I’ll share. FYI opossums we’re extremely popular. I even sold my giant one. Of course the emotional support pickles were the second thing I sold out of. Don’t have your email so I messaged you in Instagram.

@R.M.MacFru Год назад

I'm not surprised that you sold more of the smaller objects. Small items attract impulse buyers, which make up the majority of people who go to craft markets. I remember this from when my grandma and her sister did craft fairs/markets.

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Yes definitely makes sense!! :)

@audraminter1410 Год назад

Mushrooms with red or orange tops with white spots are popular on fabric and Knick knacks. Also kitties and puppies will probably do well. Pet parents like to collect things like that. So do people that cannot have pets but still love them and would like to have one. I thought the chicken nuggets were super cute! Truthfully everything was cute but I laughed out loud when I saw the nugget! You’re doing a great job!

@crochetbygenna Год назад

Awww thank you so much!! Yes, definitely gonna make some more “pets” next time and add white spots to the mushrooms :)

@m.renatepotoski905 Год назад

You'll rarely sell everything on a market or crafts fair. With every sold item the display looks emptier, gives the customer less to choose from. So your sale was a success❤ It is easier when you can replace a sold item with another item so the display always looks attractive to potential buyers. I like craft fairs because visitors there can give you a feedback of what they like and would like to buy. You can see what they are looking for. Stress and emotional support items - you have a good idea. It's needed. Especially when school restarts in August. A little squeezable toy to hold on to. And for adults pads to support wrist or hand while working on the computer. Good luck and lots of customers❣️
