Hotels have whats called "The fiver-ten rule". When people are 10 feet away, you smile, when people are 5 feet away, you say hello. But whatever you do, don't be pushy.

I have my first fair tomorrow and I've watched 20 of these types of videos, you're the only one who thought to mention a portable charger. Thank you! This will probably be a life saver!

I bring $100 in $1 and $5 bills...and yes most definitely do a test run of your table set up and take pics of it so you don't forget how it looked.

Very helpful indeed! I’m doing my first ever market this weekend in NYC at age 60! These tips will help so much!😊

I practiced my table setup and took a picture for backup because the way my memory works is I immediately forget everything lol

I've done a couple of local craft fairs for 4 years (before pandemic), selling my hand-knitted items, and I am hoping to get back to them again. I've watched probably 20 videos similar to this, but yours is the best I've seen! Really great practical info on all the things that someone needs to know, from booth setup, taking payments, being neighborly, and as another shy person running a booth, I appreciated your sensitivity to that as a vendor & for customers. Great job!

This will be my first time vending I love you you are the best and that was the best information I could ever got starting off keep doing what you doing

Sold on free sticker on email list, my niece she’s four said” ooooh I want to see a sticker and beautiful sticker!” 😊

Rental spaces can be way too expensive. A lot of times artists don't brake even. I highly recommend taking the time to find out where the money for the rental space is going. If the rental is very pricey someone will be making money off you weather you make money or not. So just be aware of the rip off events. A lot of times I see people with great products not selling much at all. They leave feeling shitty and the event planners think everything went great. If you think the rental is too expensive communicate that with the event planners.

Great advice on the sticker incentive for email addresses. That sticker is awesome✨🙌 Thank you.

I'm doing an art market for the first time next weekend and I've been soooo anxious about it. Your video makes me feel like i can do it! Thank you!!!

Thank you for being selfless and sharing the knowledge

🌹Great tips!❣️ 1st show soon. I have folding shelf & rolling cart that I can put my art pillows in. I am selling a variety of art items. Have album art clocks, blankets. I use (pan lid)racks, file & taco shell racks to VERTICALLY stack art tiles or artwork. Use the racks for drying as well. May put a folding room divider up behind me.🤪

[simplyamira]

ALOT of great info! Your tone is so genuine! Subscribed for sure!

[sweetsuccessbakery]

This was perfect! I've run vendor events and I've been a vendor at other people's events and you've hit every nail on the head!

[JulienneMarieReyes]

I've watched a couple of videos about popus and this one was the most helpful! I took a lot of notes and will have my first vending experience a month from now! Thank you for your help!

[samconcklin]

Wow! You are so down to earth and easy to watch. This is easily my favorite vendor tips video so far. :)

I’m still new to cons but I can vouch that setting up your table in a “dress rehearsal” a few days before and then packing it all up neatly with labels is essential.

Also, I recently went to a con that was VERY slow, and all the vendors basically ended up swapping goods 😅 My booth neighbor and I both make comics so we did lots of swapping. Also, multiple vendors gave me free extras when I bought from them and struck up a conversation. The vending community is real!!

Have fun, everybody!!

[juliew]

So many great tips! Especially the one about not displaying all inventory. That is such good advice. Oh, and your little sticker is the cutest. I am in the quietly planning (or closet dreaming) stage of selling my jewelry. You have inspired me to get on with it.

[coquesealcorn]

THIS WAS THE BEST TIPS I COULD EVER HOPE FOR. I'M NEW AT THIS AND YOU HAVE BEEN SO INFORMATIVE. I CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW YOU SUPPLIED. BLESS YOU!

[Jannet]

I enjoyed listening to your advice. You make a great teacher. Pleasant.
