good pricing range for kids market?

ok so I’m gonna be in a market (geared towards kids) selling crochet n stuff…and there’s already two other crochet vendors (which is typical, idk how to sell with other competition)

last time I went to a market with other crochet ppl, it was my first time, so everything was $2-3 USD less than it should have been… :confused: (I did get $200 tho)

I really don’t want to underprice myself but idk how else to compete with the other vendors, what should I do

(also should I bring my more expensive items, for example I have this clown (the pic is from the designer, Stitched By Scott). I’d sell it for $45 and idk if children even have that kind of money…)

(Please know that i havent done a market before, but i am basing this off of what i have heard!)

If your market is mostly going to have kids, then you should make most of your items 5-10 USD! But i would still have one or two bigger items(40-60 USD, like your clown), and 1-3 medium items(15-30 USD). The bigger items could be incase a parent/teenager wants to buy something for display or something like that!

I hope this helps!! <3

I feel like maybe make a lot of keychains and stuff since I feel like kids love those
maybe also things that parents could buy as gifts for like bdays and such
