hate the bait and switch 😒 - treaser videos is not for me

[thaddeuslarimer]

Now when I see your videos in the feed I'm going to think "this is a teaser to sell me a product/service"

I find that when you use a table, use a table cloth, it looks more professional and have that table cloth fit the season. Fall have a colorful leafy pattern. Use that one Sept. to Oct. And Nov. Use something that says Thanksgiving. And yes Dec. use winter or Christmas type of clothes. This may be in there pay for info part but i am giving it to you for free. This is just one of many tips.

My 12 yr old son has a business and does pretty well at his craft shows. Sales over 10 days were $3700. He makes oens and pencils. Craft shows are an amazing place!

Thank you for the ideas! I've done farmers markets in the past but haven't for a season😅 nervous. In a new state and a little anxious, but you guys' tips calmed me! I make more at markets selling my handmade tables, cutting boards, baked goods and body goods than I did in the Healthcare field!

I just went to craft fairs and checked the ones I liked the way they were set up what they sold, and went from there.

I'm preparing to do a pop-up market near me in a couple of weeks. I'm looking for as much info and advice that I can get. I'm excited, but also a little apprehensive.

My wife and I have been to this market a few times. It's in the parking lot of a busy shopping center. It's not packed like a popular farmer's market would be, but it gets decent traffic for what it is and it's not expensive for one day or the weekend. I'll be happy if I can sell 30%-50% of my items.

I've also got business cards and an order book and plan on putting together a notebook with items I've made in case someone wants to buy something that I don't have that day.

Well, that was a waste of 13 minutes. A rare miss for yall on this one.

[giordimolitor]

I DEFINITELY wish I had signed up before I was ready! I totally missed out on all the deadlines for this fall craft fair season! 😭

I like the Dakota timber company hat! I’m from fargo and love those guys.

I know you say not to use pop up tents. However 99% of out door shows and farmers markets in Oregon make you us only them.

[marybailey]

thank you for the info have a blessed and safe day

My biggest problem is having a full time job and uni to do at the same time. Only time I really have is between like July and September so yeah

[mikejardee]

uninformative video, sales video lots of free videos get all you need to know

I just picked up the micro course. Good stuff in it! One tip that isn't in the course or in this video... bring extra socks! You do not want to go all day with wet toes because of the dew all over the grass soaked through your shoes. :)

[calvincrawford]

[daphnieweeks]

This really helped me I’m going to a craft fair in may it will be my 1st one selling stuff I’m so happy you made this video

[WalterRiggs]

Not using a tent is not viable in a state where it rains nearly every afternoon, or the sun’s trying to murder you… in February LOL
