My first crochet market!

Hi! Im going to be selling at a market this weekend (nov 30th)

Should I post updates for my market? If so what updates?

Also i made 184 items is that enough? :sob:
Also how do I interact with customers and how do I attract more customer’s to my stand?

Thanks

You should post about it! And I say that it’s never enough, I make as much as possible. I’d rather have leftovers for my next one than sell out and waste a few hours when I could be selling. You may not sell out though, that is a bunch! I have two markets in December so i’m going crazy with tagging and spreadsheet-ing!

I usually talk to customers like they’re close acquaintances lol. Polite, but light and cheerful and inviting. I also like to let people know about any signs, my name, and that they’re allowed to touch or pick up anything. This is just what I do though, sometimes it just takes a bit of trial to get used to how you want to talk to customers, but I hope this helped! :heart::sparkles:

I’m selling at a market on the 30th too! I make earrings with my sister but I recently started adding a few crochet monsters in! I plan on expanding soon though!:yellow_heart:

And 184 items is soo many! I made 25 little monsters and sold 8 and I’m proud of that so you are going to do great!

As for the customer interactions, say ‘good morning’ or ‘hello!’ (Good afternoon/evening is to formal sounding for me​:rofl:) and also just say a little bit about your pricing or just general info that they might want to know​:yellow_heart:

I think that 184 is PLENTY of things. You shouldn’t stress about making anymore. Just remember to keep calm, not too nervous and not too giddy. I would recommend making a price list if you havent already and just go with the flow.
I would also REALLY like updates. You may have to tag me back when the first update comes tho because I tend to forget
