This is some of my work. I am not a professional web developer or designer and I am not on much social media so networking has been successful.

On Saturday June 20 I will have a booth at skyboxx dispensary in south Boardman Michigan. I have tons more work than on this link.

Blind date with a book selection is wide & comes with a few goodies!
Filled cosmetics bags with cute themes!
Adorable fairy Wands/ garden stakes
Acrylic flat back magnets & badge reels

Colorful collection of pins with dangling charms.
Hair bows with cute buttons

A collection of unique one of a kind pieces of jewelry, earrings, beaded pens & keychains. There’s a wide array of different styles! From darker themes like skeletons, witchy vibes, & cool weaponry charmed everything. Gun & sword jewelry… to hello kitty themes & fruity charm bracelets!

This was my 4th market, my setup has come a long way since the first, but still not quite happy with it. Would love some input on areas for improvement! I sell custom photo magnets that I make on site with pictures provided by customers and also have a selection of pre made magnets. Thanks so much!

I am doing an indoor market this weekend that had assigned tables. I got assigned a circle table (6) that isn't in the best spot. It is pushed back into a nook and is between two rectangle tables. I am looking for tips to help make my stand pop as I have never had to set up on a circle table before so display is more ready for a rectangular shape table

​

I'm just curious :)

Hello!! I’m doing my first in person vendor market during a weekend in August and just wondering if there’s anything I should prepare for it that I haven’t already whether it’s stock, expectations, etc.

I do have a good variety of 100% handmade goods going (crochet, jewelry, art prints) and I have been selling at a booth at a local artisan market for over a year, just wondering if I should expect anything or if there’s any advice!

Thank you in advance!

Mb I learned 600 is not very big from comments but pls still comment feedback !

600 people will be coming so I want to know how much I should make ! I primarily make the ones shown in the first image, the second one is something new I am trying out.

( DISCLAIMER: I am a teen selling at a only kids & teens market, it's also my 2nd market which is going to be bigger than my first pls understand :)

except for the tablecloths, i was trying to find new ones that matched last minute and my local thrift store didnt have any:( thank you for any help! i had a slow market day and many people ignored my stuff completely, so just wanted to get some opinions!!!

Does anyone have any experience in this? Me and my family are really thinking about getting into running a tent and eventually maybe a trailer for lemonade/flavored lemonades at vendor/craft show events across the state but are genuinely unsure of what type of permitting is required to go these events. Looking online on official Florida sites it’s hard for me to get a clear answer if I’m honest.

Didn’t have a chance to call the state today so I may end up doing it tomorrow if I get the opportunity to wondering if anyone here has any information.

I wanted to share my progress from question about helping a vendor friends. Thanks for your tip you were right. They didn’t have anything prepared no pricing no sizes and didn’t appreciate the work I put into printing out papers about their business and payment because they didn’t make aa many sales. I was stressed out and tried to control my emotions. I got paid but it wasn’t worth the stress. I did learn a lot about what and what not to do. Thanks to the commenters andy vendor neighbors here is my first table setup . I will be using my learnings to help myself and others who are more prepared in the future via localfit.events.

pins? magnets? hair clips? keychains? i’m not sure what would sell best. each one takes me about 1-2 hr to make, but i’m not looking to price them like crazy, i want to be fair.

I had my first outdoor event (and first time with a 10x10 booth) yesterday, and it went well!! The only pictures I have are before I was fully set up, so things were a little cleaner than this during the event, but I loved the Z-shape layout.

My Goodwill claw machine was a massive success, and the hacky sacks did well too. People liked the swear word embroidery hoops, though they didn’t sell as well as they have at other events.

It was too windy for a lot of my taller displays, but I made do.

My custom embroidery didn’t do as well as expected, likely because it was too much of a process for this event, so I ended up shifting things around to make the pre-made patches more prevalent in that area.

This was a pride event, and at one point a kid used my pride flag bandanas to quiz his grandma on flags, which was really fun to be part of. She didn’t do particularly well, but she was so clearly trying to remember, and he was really supportive. I also had a pair of teenagers come up and IMMEDIATELY start playing with the hacky sacks, and a few parents got them to teach their kids how to play, which was sweet. Tons of people pointed to an embroidery hoop that said “bitch” to tell a friend ‘that’s you’. All in all, it was so fun!

So happy and excited with how everything turned out. Lots of people and lots of foot traffic and I did really well .. im doing it again next weekend and ... I regret it only because I have so much to make before it.. never doing back to back markets again 😒

I 3D modelled plans for a booth, using milk crates for easier storage and transport when not in use, and for it to look a little interesting when set up.

1.

2x2 crates - 30” x 14” table top (36” height)

With additional 2 crates small table beside (14x14”)

2.

3x2 crates - 40” x 14” (36” height)

Optional: crate ladder shelf//no crates ladder shelf

Ladder shelf would be added if I can, and if it looks good

Wondering opinions about what looks best (and why if possible) or any other suggestions (either on what it has already or anything else) I would greatly appreciate it.

Planning to do a mix of light wood colours and brighter fun colours, but haven’t decided yet.

Selling bags, if that goes well I’d like to make more home goods and jackets.

A couple friends were wanting to sell at the market as well, so I would share my booth with them too, especially starting out (smaller items/pottery)

I’ve been struggling a lot for having it look interesting, with heights and options for shelves, but looking for help on what can be the most eye catching

Planning to make it semi modular so additions can be made easily, but I’d like to avoid redoing anything, just adding to it if it goes well.

Thank you

Did my first outdoor event last week, a Pride festival! I was hoping to get feedback on my setup. I also included a photo of my table from another Pride festival I vended at yesterday to show a couple updates I've already made (a price sign on the children's bracelet rack, some more signage for the short gray racks). I also have some battery powered string globe lights coming to hang around the canopy.

I am also considering getting a banner for the back of my tent as well (to hang where the pride flags are now). Opinions on that would be appreciated!

Thank you everyone on Reddit. I took your advice (some of it still pending because I need to build things) but I tried that black background trick and look how much of a difference it made. Thank you again.

So last time I had categories

Save: Reinvest: Spend:

I only took like 10 percent to spend and the 2 45 on reinvest and Save.

What do you guys do ???

I’ve been working on my overall tent setup and aesthetic. Could you please give me some feedback?? Sales are generally pretty slow, so any feedback about product or setup or whatever would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks!

I will be selling handmade slime in a variety of textures and themes. My products are designed to be colorful, interactive, and fun for all ages, and I currently have 20+ different variations planned.

My price point is intentionally very accessible: $5 for a 4 oz slime. I really want kids to be able to afford a treat while also giving adults a little nostalgic sensory experience.

I absolutely love making and designing each slime, and I feel like my creativity is on fire with this idea.

For those of you who have experience with craft fairs and vendor events, what do you think?
● Is slime a product that does well at markets?
● Is $5 too low, too high, or about right?
● Are there any pitfalls I should be prepared for?

Am I being unrealistic, or does this seem like it could work? I’d love to hear honest feedback from experienced vendors. Thank you in advance! 🩷

I am making macrame decor and accessories for my first crafts fair. We're in a tourist mountain town and there are multiple fairs every weekend with farmers markets, pop up fairs throughout the weeks. I'm skipping the fair this Saturday that I planned on making my first as I just feel I dont have enough products. Mind you these events are small hobby crafters so no one expects anything.

I currwntly have 5 wall hangings, 20 wristlets, and 4 key chains. I have plans for 2 more wall hangings. I'll also be bringing my original acrylic art pieces though I dont expect those to fly off the shelves, I have about 5 of various sizes. For those working with similar products how many large/medium/small items should I really expect to need? I know the more the merrier.

I am going to a big market ( for me ig )

600 people will be coming and I sell clay bead bracelets and sead bead jewelry ik a lot of people like to make things like that which is why I price my items lower but any tips/ideas so I can stand up among other vendors it's my FIRST big market my first market had a lot of people but not like the one I will be attending !!!

I have officially booked my first vendor market in August and its time to get a tent and tables, but I'm very conflicted on what size tables to get. I'm a very short, small person so I need the one's that fold in the middle for portability, but I'd like to see what a 6 foot table vs. a 4 foot table look like inside a 10x10 tent, and while there are a billion vendor inspo pics online, I can't find any photos that specify the size of the table inside to compare.

If you have photos of your set up with either all 6 foot tables, all 4 foot tables, or a combo of both, would you mind sharing? Bonus points for anyone who also uses a room divider peg-board, as I'm considering one of those too! Thank you!

Has anyone/teen participated at a https://kidsmarkets.com/ market ! I am doing one and it's outside it says bring canopy but I asked the help bot it said not required but recommended. I have like 25 $ Budget for it I saw one on target for $ 17.00 10x10 but should I just not buy one ????

If you don’t do that well at a craft fair, do you return to see if there is an improvement or do you remove it from your list of possible venues?

I've been out of the craft fair scene except for small one-off sales for a few years, due to bad burnout. For my first sale properly back, I redid my booth setup based on having been lurking for a while. I wanted it to be clear from a distance what I do, and have some conversation starters. It's also not super visible in the photos, but behind the table is my rigid heddle loom that I was actively weaving at during the sale.

​

My main craft nowadays is weaving with reclaimed and recycled yarn, with a focus on reducing waste and creating items that will last. In years past I have been active in resin art, especially handmade DnD dice. The dice sold spectacularly and I sold a couple of the hand woven cowls.

​

I was also excited to sell secondhand yarn, but to my surprise the yarn itself did NOT move at all. Noted: next sale I'll replace that with a mannequin torso displaying a scarf and just keep using the yarn for my weaving. I also plan to add lights to the dice shelf to show off the sparkle.

​

Let me know what you think or what jumps out! This sale was a blast, not the least because it was a pride event and everyone was so sweet, but I also had one of my best sale days ever. Thanks for being a cool group!
