Craft shows

So I’m going to my first craft show and I was wondering if anybody has any tips! pricing, products, set up, how much of each item, anything! And if any of you do craft shows which plushies are most successful!

I recommend packaging your products nicely and having a good variety! It will interest more people! If you don’t mind me asking, what are you going to sell?

Asher · April 21, 2022, 5:31pm

So far I’m selling mini bees, regular sized bees, small ice cream cones, leggy frogs, mini leggy frogs and cows but I’m still making more products those are just what I’ve started making

And I’m also starting to make bucket hats but it takes a while

amit2677 · April 21, 2022, 5:35pm

Those are great things to sell! Maybe also make a portfolio on all the items you’ve made. Let them know about your online shops!

amit2677 · April 21, 2022, 5:36pm

Hats take a long time! Plushies take a little less and are a bit more fun in my opinion.

Asher · April 21, 2022, 5:37pm

I feel the same way but I thought it’d be better to sell other items because plushies are targeted towards every person

Asher · April 21, 2022, 5:38pm

And these are probs my favorite so far cause I can’t part with my plushies haha

amit2677 · April 21, 2022, 5:41pm

So cute! It’s good to have variety. By the way are you taking custom orders?

Asher · April 21, 2022, 5:55pm

Yup, I am online at least

amit2677 · April 21, 2022, 5:59pm

That’s great, maybe if have time, you can let people there know you arr taking a custom orders. Most of my income has come from custom orders.

Asher · April 21, 2022, 6:05pm

I’m the same way and yeah I have a business card I’ll give out which has all that info

Asher · April 21, 2022, 6:14pm

Have you ever sold at a craft show?

amit2677 · April 21, 2022, 6:25pm

No, I am not sure how to find one near me…

Asher · April 21, 2022, 6:30pm

I just looked into craft shows near me on Google it’s pretty simple

amit2677 · April 21, 2022, 6:32pm

Yeah I did that, I guess there aren’t many near me.

Asher · April 21, 2022, 6:59pm

Dang that sucks just a random question I’m deciding this before I get my business cards officially but would it be weird if I changed my shop name?

amit2677 · April 21, 2022, 6:59pm

Not at all! It’s your shop and your decision. Now you can make it even more unique!

I feel like people think I copied charlisys crochet closet and I kind of want to get away from it, I put a poll up on Instagram and a lot of people said no so now I’m conflicted

Asher · April 21, 2022, 7:12pm

I was thinking plushies n stuff but not sure if that sounds dumb
