Surpassing last year's $$$...but at what cost 😪 Anime Weekend Atlanta 2024
Hi and welcome! My name is Melanie and I love to crochet plushies. In today's video, I bring you along with me to my largest vendor event of the year: Anime Weekend Atlanta! After such a successful time last year, I was super excited to return with much more inventory to stay in stock for more selling days. However, not everything went as planned...watch along to see how it went! Thank you all so much to everyone I met this weekend, and special shoutout to my neighbors @ RavePupp for gifting me the rest of their 20lb box of stuffing!! Really appreciate it :')

What about copywriter for characters? I don’t wanna be rude but…
A pig, pickle, and Cherry
And alllllll
Nezukoooooo she my fav
can anyone tell me what the anime they mentioned here is? 27:51
Pattern?
That's an amazing collection you've made, they are gorgeous. Here in the UK, we have to do safety tests before selling them... do you do the same for each of your designs too??
How did you get the rights for deamon slayer
Where is the Luffy pattern from? Good job!
🤣🤣🤣. Great inspiration. 💕💕💕💕
I need the poro's pattern, they're so cuteeee
Great job at AWA! I'm sorry it seemed really slow on a couple of those days. I'm curious as to if you ever have a problem with designs that are copywrited from shows and games. I've heard that a lot of the cons are cracking down on that and even have been stating in the admission contracts that they are not allowed. I know at the last con I attended, there were quite a few vendors that had to remove items.
Amazing sale. 😮👍🏽👏🏽 You might want to add keychains or bag clips, to your inventory. Thank you 🤗
Love your videos and I’m glad that you surpassed your sales goal but unfortunately about the news you found out. I love your set up as well. Could you please put the link to the white rolling shelves please? I definitely would love to get one, if you don’t mind of course

Kano from demon slayer please
you did amazing! I always love transparent videos like these 🥰
Omw do u have bunnies?
I'm an amateur crocheter and the thought of even *possibly* selling my work is incredibly daunting lol. A friend recommended this video and I'm grateful that she did. Subbed!
Your setup looked so good! Everything was adorable!❤
i was waiting for this video !! happy that it went well for you n can't wait for what you have more of in 2025💓 also do you double strand your projects by any chance?
What was the cart you were using to bring things in?
it's called the MUNBYN folding shopping cart!
I was so happy to see that you did better than last year and still had inventory left this time that means you planned very well, 🎉congratulations. I would love to apply next year you are such an inspiration!!!
I’m so happy you surpassed last year!! Congrats! It was a pleasure to meet you Mel! Let us know if you ever come to Hawai’i haha and awww your bunnies in the background!! So adorable! Happy New Year to you and your family!
thank you so much, it was so lovely to meet you both!! i will definitely let you know if i'm ever in hawaii again, happy new year as well :)))))
It was so great to meet you! I bought one of the bumblebees on the Saturday of the con. Not sure if I'll attend AWA in future years (I only went this year because one of my favorite singers was a special guest), but I'm local to Atlanta as well so hopefully I can see you at other events!
thanks so much for stopping by! i will definitely be vending around in the future so stay tuned!!
Big red flag there with doubling the artist alley size. Artist alley shouldn’t be more than under 200 vendors. I didn’t know the amount of vendors at Baltimorecon and it was a ridiculous 500 plus headcount for artist alley. I tanked at that show. I’m betting over half the vendors did the same.
How is it a red flag? Just curious
@pikachuwolf0788 I think because the volume of artists tabling at the same event can make the market saturated, meaning there’s more competition to get your stuff out there as well but I’m just guessing so feel free to correct me. And also there was a time, I joined a convention where there were a lot of other artists who were already occupying up the space and there were a lot of people who attended the event too, it was quite hectic. Some artists got there stuff stolen because it was just too crowded it was hard to monitor every single thing and the people couldn’t move around and look through stuff as well.
@pikachuwolf0788 Put yourself in the shoes of a customer. Just the volume of artists is overwhelming. People, usually older/elderly and people with small kids, will only make it to 20-50 artist tables before they fatigue. Unless they zip though the aisles without paying much attention. So the first 50+ artist tables will also get the most exposure. Personally, I wouldn't want to have a table at a show that large, nor would I want to cruise it.
I was really looking forward to this vlog, especially after seeing how other artists did at AWA. So happy that it went well for you - and here's to an even better 2025!
Great work and great video!! 🎉
thank you!!
@@melagurumi I can't wait until you open your online shop again, would like to buy some of your cute plushies!! :)
I'm so glad I got to meet you!!!! ❤❤❤❤ literally one of my highlights of AWA! Hope you have a wonderful break and give those wrists a nice recovery!!!
AHHH it was so nice finally meeting you!! 🥺💖 thank you so much and good luck with next year! your vlog is on my to be watched soon i can finally catch up on yt videos haha
Hii I love everything it’s all soo cute hope your market goes well.Also where did you get the pattern for the big dinos at the back?
Where did you get the pickachu pattern?
This is so real though.

Really excited for the event vlog and you telling us how it was🤭🌸
This is impossible
So I can crocheting for I'm going to say over 10 years and I really love doing the plushies cuz people love them I do small ones with milk cotton or cotton acrylic blend but I also love doing the chenille yarn what brand do you prefer using cuz I do like the texture of the way yours looks cuz sometimes it seems like it can be too long or even too short so it doesn't feel right and a lot of kids have texture issues even adults have sensory processary disorders but they love plushies and I was just wondering what she nearly on you prefer because I would really love to start crocheting and selling my stuff to make extra money
Make some Bt21 plushies pleasee
Or they crochet really fast like me and a few other crochet friends I have 🤗
I spot a Gojo
Ever since I’ve started crochet, all these fuzzy yarn tutorials have popped up and all honestly don’t make much sense. Thank you for your content ❤ do you have a pattern for this bear??
When you did togepi, did you use sc or dc? The pattern says dc but i think i dont like the dc pattern. Yours look like sc but i am not sure. Do you think i use sc instead of dc?
I’ve used it to make an adorable sloth for a Christmas present. Really liked the yarn.
