Market prep ideas?

Hey guys! So I have an upcoming market, and I have no idea what to make :grimacing: i’ve already made some plushies since my keychain rings haven’t come yet, and I already have some ideas of what to make! My mom showed me an Instagram video of i think two kids about 8 and ten and having their own markets and i’m around that age (over ten) and i’ve had only two markets so like i said earlier i already have some ideas! I was thinking of making

10 medium elephants

5 large turtles

10 small boba teas

4-5 large boba teas (no photos yet)

And all of that is only about 30 plushies in total, which I think is too small, so how many plushies do you think I should make? But I’m not only making plushies for a market because I’m still making keychains and maybe car hangers, but I still need more ideas.

  • 30-40
  • 40-50
  • 60-70
  • 70-80

If any of you have any market experience and know some plushies that I could sell, it would really help if you could tell me! i also forgot to say also need help on some display items i already bought this keychain hanger thing so if there are any other better ones please let me know too!

so, my main display is these white boxes (I’ll find the link in one second.)

Everyone is always drawn to the things I put on top of the boxes, so I usually put more expensive (or character related) items up there, while I put small, less expensive things in the box.

I have the same keychain display as you lol.

also, people LOVE looking through things (all ages) so I have a basket that have what I call ‘minis’ and it just gives people a chance to stop and look. (I do a deal, 1 for $5, or 3 for $12.)

I also recommend table cloths that attach at the bottom of the feet of the table.

As for the keychains you picked out, I have mixed feelings about them. they are cute, but your going to have to attach it with yarn instead of small metal loops. people usually wont buy the yarn attached keychains, but that’s my personal experience

I have those, I think they are amazing. Just make sure you have a pair of pliers and if you have never used these, twist the two pliers, don’t try to pinch it closed.
