I love everything you created! Hopefully, you can sell your beautiful projects on your Etsy shop! 😊

I love the variety of things you have. Everything is so lovely. I guess it really depends on your audience

[LuvBugs]

At the last craft fair I attended, the kids are really who drove the sales. You have amazing items. I wish I could purchase an entire set from you. I will keep an eye on your Etsy shop in the mean time. TFS

I love that notepad set on the table. I need one. Pls. TY

[christianrodgers]

All of your creations are great! You just needed more space, and like you mentioned, the right clientele.

I had more sucess in the past at vendor shows in open area. Classroom set up, ppls dont comme in and you miss out. Thats my experience. I agree with you. great to do coupons....and a free prize for purchase drawing worked for me. Im sure your an expert on this. Just sharing.

These are great gifts! I don't know why they would not sell! The prices were not bad either! But maybe it was the venue, or it's not crunch time yet for last minute gifts :-)

I love bag you did beautifully on your makes for the craft fair ❤❤

[ednaalvarado]

Its always a hit of miss. Im glad you were able to sell

[chelseawalker-richards]

Omg! I purchased the Reindeer Soup from you and sold every one of them! I had to rush to make 16 more bags for Sunday, and they all went in 15 minutes!! I believe I had a total of 26 of them. I also purchased the popcorn, but they didn’t go as fast as the others. Thank you!

I’m glad to hear you made some money. I have done only two different venues and the demographic makeup is the major factor. It differed for me each year. I have not done a craft fair since the pandemic. I am considering going back next year because it is fun. Hopefully your items will move quickly on Etsy. Thanks for the recap. I do like those journals you had on your desk.😜

All your products are lovely, like they say location, location, location. I'd never heard of chip bags before seeing them on you channel. I made my own with hot chocolate etc inside with a different graphic on the front that I created Sold 20 of the 24 I took (my show was last weekend as well) . I also sew and other best seller was bowl cozies sold 24 out of 30 of those - funny thing is they are all the exact same ones I took last year to the same show where I only sold maybe 2. Go figure. Best wishes.

Thanks for the update. Sorry it didn't go as well as expected.

[tonyacoleman]

Hey, I've learned that craft fairs are a win win regardless because they are so fun and you meet new people. Of course we want to make money, but the experience and memories last longer 😊. All your stuff turned out really nice. I agree with adding the items to your etsy shop and or selling on YouTube and IG. Just a thought.

You have beautiful gifts. I have been to and participated in craft shows in the past. One show I did was in classrooms, gym and hallways. The person in charge had a map with a list of the vendors and their location. She had a sign on the rooms what vendor was there. There was not two of the same selling the same items { jewelry, food, etc.}. I thought this was a great idea. If someone was interested in jewelry, they needed to visited other locations. This gave the other vendors an exposure. This brought me sales I might not have gotten. I think your prices were fair and your packaging attractive. One thing I did at every show was a "Take a Chance" basket. This was an inexpensive holiday theme as I only did shows around Christmas, highly visible and decorated. I assured I would contact them only if they won. I found this to work for ME and in my area. This brought shoppers to my table that maybe were not interested in my crafts. When I started to do this, I had shoppers stopping by with most making a purchase. This caught attention. I always give a small charm with each purchase as a thank you. Funny note...I had some shoppers over the years come back to make another purchase just to get another charm. LOL At checkout I had certain items that could only be purchased with a certain $$$ purchase. This may or may not work for everyone, but if it helps a few out there or gives you an idea to tweak, I am happy.

Thanks for sharing! What is in the kids red bag? & How much?

[happycrafter]

You have some great items. I would love to do a craft fair but I'm a scary cat...lol you should definitely list the items on your Etsy and for the Christmas themed items maybe do a sale here on YT. Just a thought... I'm glad you made some money and didn't lose... that's a win!
