Best advice I can give: LABEL THE PRICES! It's so infuriating when a seller doesn't label the prices. It makes me think you are giving different prices and I'm more likely to keep walking than asking.

@donniem7979 28 дней назад

yep. the table should be sectioned off with a label up front to discern what that area costs per zone.

I think sales in general is tough. You can put a very great salesman behind that desk and he would have sold them all. I agree though a farmers market in Manhattan Beach Metlox, these would sell like hot cakes. I hate plants but these are actually kind of cool. I'd buy one if it was $10-12. $15 may put me past my limit.

@@ryanholcombe8785yea he might have done the things you listed right, but he didn’t do everything right. Everything he did was basic, most important though his pot designs were basic. He could’ve been more organized he could’ve had the plants stacked up on like a stair way thing if that makes sense (like a row on the bottom and then the row behind it stands above that and so on), or shelves, and he could’ve had some unique showcase ones in front. If he chose more unique and creative designs I think he would’ve sold a lot more, and if he had a ton more variety not just 3 types.

@chrishayes5755 2 месяца назад

he's friendly and looks non-threatening / approachable. those are the pluses. the negatives is that his sales skills are very poor. from the copy on the signs to leading customers into buying, he doesn't do that well at all. just improving those variables could get 5-10x the result. when you're talking with a potential client you're talking with purpose, and leading them into the final goal (sale).

I'm a vendor here in L.A.... (Hollywood) simple... you need more tables. A longer set up will allow more people to browse and shop. Also, keep in mind... the weather is a factor to a good day and a slow day. The time of year matters, too. Some months are just slow anyways. Lastly, price point with large signage is important, too. If you lowered prices... had 3 tables with one price group on each table ... it will be simple to see & understand for the casual passersby.

@marwerno Месяц назад

Also, at least in Germany: At the beginning of the month the salary is paid out and people have more "money in the pocket" than towards month end (Nothing left to spend). So setting up towards the beginning of the month, more likely more people are willing to spend money.

@thomas_shelby106 13 дней назад

I tried to become a street vendor for about a week. I offered bags that my father made and T-shirts with my designs on them. It was tough considering that I am an introvert. Most people just ignored what I was selling, and every time someone asked about my products, it truly boosted my hope even though they didn't buy anything. I only sold one shirt, but I'm so glad that at least one person noticed me. I have so much respect for all the street vendors.

@matthewnirenberg 2 месяца назад

@MorleyKert As a mechanical engineer with a heap of CAD experience across basically all 3D CAD packages used in industry, here's a friendly tip for doing the 3D CAD pot design much faster: Create a bunch of planes 15-20mm apart, create a polygon shape (icon looks like a hexagon but you can specify the number of sides), exit sketch, go to next plane and repeat but start rotating the polygon shape 5 degrees per plane. Once you've done this on the first plane and then on all the offset ones, use the Loft tool to loft between all the sketches on the planes. Once the loft creates a solid body, use the shell tool to hollow out the body of the pot. In the shell tool, you can define a face override - this is great for selecting the bottom face on the outside of the model and setting its thickness to twice that of the side walls. There's the pot in 1/3 to 1/4 the time. To adjust the twist, simply edit the sketches and adjust the rotation of the sketches, then click "Generate to Last" (or whatever your software calls it (sometimes "regenerate")) and its updated.

@darlanalves 2 месяца назад

Exactly! Next tip is to make the rotation, number of sides and distance between planes into variables that you can tweak. Then you can change the variables and test many variation of your planters in seconds!

@@zero00tolerance Hi, I've put together a basic video doing everything slowly so its easy to follow (hence its approx 10 minutes long).

@oneloveRudy 2 месяца назад

As a plant lover I wouldn't necessarily spend $15 on a plant just because it has a nice pot. The pot would need to be something that I really want. I have seen 3D printing create some pretty functional stuff. And having the 3D printer there makes it for a great conversation piece. Since you're there at a social event you could try selling things like 3D printed toys. My kids love those things and don't cost much to make. Kids always ask "can you buy me that"

@LolliLife2.0 2 месяца назад

I think it's great that you have the succulents planted already, but sometimes what draws people to buying is the experience. You did have education with the printer being there with it actively working, but if you had a "Build a Plant" with steps and options for people to purchase, I think you would have a better chance of getting people to buy. It's all about the experience for a customer. And yes, street vending, farmers' market, art/crafts shows...they all are long, tedious and arduous! I do agree with some that a farmers market venue would work better for you. People already know what to expect and are prepared for it. Great video! Keep it up!!!

Hi Morley, I was never a street vendor, what I did was a booth at craft shows where we sold items we made to raise money for "care packages" for deployed military working dogs. We, my friend and partner, did better when we were standing rather than sitting behind our tables. I think people are more likely to stop if they think you are busy (I'm not sure why that is). I hope you are enjoying your travels. Oh, and yes it is hard work to set up and be there all day, and then tear it all down. We had pop-up covers too. Lots of work for sure.

@MorleyKert 2 месяца назад

Fascinating!

@infered5365 2 месяца назад

As an introvert, at least ONE reason why I'd stop by when someone is busy is so I can poke and browse without immediately getting hooked into a conversation. The best thing a vendor can do is make themselves known to be available, but leave me alone until I approach them in conversation, even if I'm right there. It's an odd little unspoken song and dance that both parties need to get right to make a successful conversion.

@MorleyKert 2 месяца назад

I actually disagree - very few people ended up actually ended up asking the price (since I didn't have it posted visually), and of those who did, a relatively high proportion ended up buying plants. It was priced as a luxury good in a tourist spot.

@fookingsog 2 месяца назад

@daliasprints9798 2 месяца назад

I think the eye popping way to do a business like this would be printing on site or even on demand (huge library of fun planter designs) with a tiny bonkers fast printer. Small succulent pots could be 5-10 min prints no problem, and watching it would be part of the attraction.

@Techno4more 2 месяца назад

Any pot of a decent size would be impossible to print in 5 minutes on a small printer. You would need a very large printer to print something that fast.

@daliasprints9798 2 месяца назад

@@Techno4more Up to 2g/min is doable with very basic hotend and CHT. The hard part is not flow but motion system capable of utilizing that. An upgraded V0, the 100, upgraded mini bedslinger, or mini delta or quantum delta would be candidates.

@Techno4more 2 месяца назад

@@daliasprints9798 the flow is always the limiting factor. The motion system doesn't have to be fast at all.. I guess it depends on what nozzle size you want. For a larger planter you could do .4 layer height .7 layer width on a .6 nozzle. The limiting factor would be plastic extrusion

@daliasprints9798 2 месяца назад

@@Techno4more If you want it to look good and have any kind of detailed pattern or texture, you need extreme acceleration get through these quick. A 5 minute benchy, which is comparable plastic mass to what you'd need for a smallest-size succulent pot you see in stores, takes nearly 100k mm/s² acceleration to pull off, but under 40 mm³/s of flow. Flow is only dominant for large and/or super simple prints.

@FarrisWorkshop 29 дней назад

I also think part of the issue could be that many haven’t seen 3d printing in real life, and they mistakenly thought the dirt and the plant were ALSO 3D printed (the man who wanted to touch it also touched the plant and the dirt) and were probably subconsciously disappointed by it just being the pot. Which is of course the opposite feeling we want to give any patron. Great videos! Keep it up!

16:00 I have given classes in using/building and maintaining 3D printers and the energy i got back from that was just mind blowing. I think you forget just how few people are out there that can oversee every aspect of 3D printing and do design to printing to product. My products are focused on industrial solutions and I didn't realize i was doing something special until i was offered 5K for a retrofit of a few defunct servo's.

Your ending talk was interesting. Because I find myself sorely disappointed (occasionally) that I'm not longer fascinated by my 3D Printers -- they're just "tools" now. Awesome tools, yeah, but just tools. I'm sure that most makers can relate to me in that first few days or weeks of 3D printing, being totally fascinated by the whole thing, and checking every 10 minutes to see what this "magic machine" was doing (and also thinking "man, this is slow... worst faster!!!") Now, I check every couple hours to make sure nothing is going disastrously wrong, but a lot of the magic is gone. I miss the early days of fascination, because it really is insanely cool technology.

Whenever I get potted plants, I leave them in the little plastic pots, and put the whole thing in the decorative pots. Then the water drains from the inside pot (which usually has little "feet") so I don't have to worry about drainage, and I also don't need a plate or similar under the pot. Long story short, I avoid decorative pots with drainage holes. Do with this information what you will. Also, love the video, all the videos, both of you, and your lovely pets.

Conversely my wife is big into house plants and will only buy pots with bottom drain holes.

U should put a flat like sign part with the Santa Monica writed and maybe something cute to be sold like a souvenir for tourist, maybe it would sell more for people just visiting and wanting a cute gift or souvenir, only the plant 🪴 is one thing but a cute plant in a cute 3D printed vase and with Santa Monica writed is another level, keep it coming 🤛🏻

have you tried vase mode printing with like 1.5 or 2mm extrusion with? could save you a modeling step and significantly speed up your print time. Just get a bigger nozzle, like 0.8mm

Fun video idea, try a new product maybe... I don't think I would want to carry around a plant while walking around at the beach. But I really love that 2 tone sign idea. Could have used that a few days ago

Focus!! If you were at a plant sale, you would have nailed it. Sadly, too many people looking for too many things in a street.

I'm doing research in 3d printing and am highly considering buying the Neptune 4 plus this week. Surprisingly, I've been street vending in Texas for a year now and have been highly successful so far. On average I make 600-700 dollars in profit.

Pricing perfect. I sell jewelry and have an Etsy shop and you said exactly what price I’d start out off the top of my head! Btw I’m a newby 3D printer!

I am looking for a way to make extra money and thought this was a great idea. Then got to the end of your video and having second thoughts. I do think it's so cool you had your 3D printer out there with you making a pot so they could see. Maybe I will just make some 3d things and bring them with me doing the same thing. I will look up what's selling and see what happens. Great video bud, I also am a RU-vidr but very small. This is a good idea for my channel as well. Thanks again. :)

Excellent review. May need to have an ice cream truck alongside to pull in more people. The idea is they have to wait but at the same time sum up what else is being sold.

I could see this taking off at a farmers market, is that an option around that area? Really cool planter pots.

@catherinebowman3049 2 месяца назад

What a video, it was a great idea to see set up and breakdown of how to do something like this. Just a thought, you have some business cards on the side that people can pick up so they can order later, that would increase your ongoing profits... one of the issues with street vending is portability (who wants to carry a plant pot into a nice restaurant/café or while shopping). Otherwise maybe make a nice simple basket to carry it in so its easier and eye catching. Just a thought :-)

I have the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro and it's a great printer. Possibly my favorite part is they didn't rip off Klipper to make their own proprietary version. Open source Klipper is awesome. I use FreeCAD and it's probably not good for pottery CAD, or at least I'm not good with those features because I use CAD for structural parts. I've used OpenSCAD to make complex geometrical arty parts with swirled polygons lofted into 3D. It probably seems weird to most people to write code to generate 3D objects but the process is interesting and fun. Do one step at the time and watch it develop in the 3D space. Draw a polygon. Do it in a loop to stack polygons. Add a rotation each time for a lofted twist. Add other modifiers on each loop to modify the diameter. Adding a sine function can add some complex visual detail with very little effort. It's amazing how quickly the design becomes visually complex.
