HELLO!!! I have a craft fair coming up, sooo… got any tips? Maybe on how to make your crafts sell better, or what things sell best?
I am a crocheter, and this is my first serious fair that I’m going to be attending. I mostly make plushies and coasters, so what kind of them is most frequently wanted? Also, what price range should be the best?
I will make different kind of plushies with patterns from multiple creators, and I want to credit them, what is the best way to do so? (most of the patterns will be from here, or freehanded)
Any tips will be useful, I would be really thankful
For the pricing, think of the area youre located in, if its a location where things around you (stores and restaurants) are expensive, try to make your prices more convenient. So say you made a plushie that was like a bear or frog, if its a handful sized plushie, think of what you’re worth, ($10hr, 15hour,20hr,etc)
and try to make what youre worth hourly pay, AND try to make your prices more affordable if youre around expensive stores.
That way you have a semi better chance of selling if they’re considering Cheap in an expensive area.
If youre around a poor location with not so expensive stores (clothes, restaurants,etc;), then try to make your prices within the budget of your surroundings, instead of trying to make it the most expensive thing around when the stores (not the other stands, permanent building stores) around you arent high priced.
I’ve never done a fair but a friend of my daughter’s sells personalised items. She tells me people ask her for bees, scrubbies, frogs and chickens at the moment
hope you get sales! Good luck too
