GOT IN A HUGEEEEE MARKET! pray for me lol

omfgggg guys!!! So I just got accepted into the market of my dreams!!! so many vendors dont get accepted but the head of the organizer is my best friends mom! So I am going to be there 10 hours total, and am veryyyy nervous! I have 2,500$ in inventory right now, but am hoping to have 4k by september!!! ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ!!!

Any tips would be so nice, and I do remember someone making a link to all differnet peoples tips for markets? if anyone could tag me in that post so i can save it and read it over again, that would be SO nice!

(also yes.. i know im at 400… i will make a post :)

Oh congratulations!!!
I have no experience at markets, so don’t know if this is a viable suggestion:

Maybe consider selling pdf patterns too? I know I purchase them online frequently.

You wouldn’t even have to sell them already printed. Jjust have a binder with photos or pattern samples, and some printed business cards with links to the patterns, and then maybe give out the code that allows downloads when they purchase. (That way the customer still bears the cost of paper/ink/toner for the bulk of the process.)
