Tips

1. Display & Setup
- Use height: Tiered stands, crates, and baskets make items more eye-catching.
- Group by theme: Put frogs with frogs, plushies together, etc.
- Clear pricing: Use cute tags or mini signs. Try: “Adopt a Friend – $10” or “Mystery Minis – $5”
- Interactive signs: “Touch me!” “Squish to test softness” encourages engagement.
- Mirror + selfies: If selling wearables (like headbands or earrings), offer a small mirror.
2. Pricing Strategy
- Offer 3 tiers:
- $5–$10 (keychains, minis)
- $15–$20 (medium plushies)
- $25+ (large items or sets)
- Bundle deals: “3 for $25” or “Buy 2, get 1 free (of equal/lesser value)”
- Don’t underprice! Your time and materials matter.
3. Product Planning
- Focus on bestsellers: Frogs, bees, cows, strawberries, mushrooms.
- Use plush yarn for max squish appeal (especially for kids).
- Offer a few ‘collector’ sets: e.g. “Forest Friends” or “Ocean Minis”
4. Inventory Tips
- Bring lots of small items – they sell fast and are easy impulse buys.
- You should also have 1-2 pretty big “showstopper” pieces to draw people in! <-FrogOnAMushroom
- Have backstock under your table to restock.
- Track what sells so you can plan smarter next time.
5. Branding & Marketing
- Add tags: “Handmade by [Your Name or Brand]”
- Include business cards or QR codes for Instagram/Ribblr
- Offer custom orders or take commissions for popular items
6. Customer Engagement
- Greet people warmly — a friendly “Hi! Let me know if you want to squish anything!” works.
- Let kids pick things up. They’re often the deciding vote for a parent purchase.
- Be available but not pushy.
Bonus Tip:
Use a small plush adoption certificate or naming tag – it makes your plushies feel special and upsell-worthy!
