Loved it. But also I’m your target audience. As a fellow crocheter it is refreshing to see original ideas that are not regurgitated from tictok or others. Absolutely getting the market ebook
This video is spot on! You have done well in knowing your niche and listen to your customers. Everything in the drop box is very well thought out and love it. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing!
Thank you! I am your target demographic and I love these ideas. I truly do not like to make amigurumi or little kid stuff. I love to crochet hats and scarves and will be looking through your patterns for other ideas. I am American living in Korea, so craft events aren’t a thing here so I’ll probably be donating my creations. But I just love to make useful items. You’ve def put a lot of thought into who you want to attract to your booth. Kudos!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my video ☺️ I am the same way, honestly. I do not enjoy making amigurumi even though it sells really well. I hope you can find a way to sell your items, though! At least to pay for your supplies. Yarn is expensive😝
I absolutely loved this video! Your target audience is totally my mom. She’s a glamma haha your color palette is to die for!! I recently bought hobby lobby yarn and oh my goodness their color options are STUNNING!
Excellent video. Thank you. Your mesh market bag is my favourite thing to make in between other makes to "cleanse the pallet". It's relaxing, fun to make, highly useful, and a great gift. I've made so many of them I've lost count. All your patterns are lovely and well thought out. I'm grateful for this market video and look forward to more. I'm moving to Florida soon from California and the climate in Florida seems tricky to me in regards to crochet items. Beanies, scarves, sweaters, etc will not be desirable there so I am trying to come up with new items to make. Looking at your bag patterns is an inspiration because they are still desirable in a hot climate. Lacy lightweight shawls might also work because you often freeze in restaurants because of the AC. Anyway you got me thinking. ❤
Thank you! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my Mesh Market Bag❤️ Yes, hats and scarves will not be good for Florida. It sounds like you are on the right track! Shoot me an email if you need help brainstorming for ideas. I love helping people figure out what to make for their customers☺️
Wonderful information about your market target! I coach small businesses and this is a very challenging concept for many. This is an excellent video and thank you for sharing this information! ❤
Market prepping for the first time since 2019. I’ve been anxious about my inventory. Your video was so helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Your generosity in sharing your knowledge is refreshing and inspiring. Thank you! I just purchased your Vendor Market Tool Kit. I look forward to reading it. Thanks again and good luck at your event. ❤
Hi, Your advice is very welcome and appreciated and has definitely given me much to think about. I love all your projects listed in this video and I will definitely be making many! I’m going to binge watch your channel like it’s Netflix 😂
Thank you for a very informative video!! I appreciate it a lot!!! Great ideas, I have a bazaar coming up in November this information helps, thank you!!!
What an informative video! I haven't participated in a fair in a few years but I'm thinking maybe in the near future. Thanks for all the tips! Your stuff looks beautiful ❤️
Love your items and thank you for the information! Makes total sense about targeting our audiences. I'm an amigurimi maker so mine is kids - young adults. :)
Thank you! I actually taught myself from a book when I was 10. I'm teaching a series on how to crochet for absolute beginners if you're interested in learning how☺️ It's got its own playlist and there are already 8 lessons. I'm releasing 2 a week😁
Hi Dana! Such a wonderful video. I don’t do markets or sell my stuff but on occasion someone asks me to. But I enjoy hearing about markets a stuff. I am also in NC. Where do you do most of your markets? I think I remember you saying you are in western NC. I am in central (near Fayetteville). I made that beautiful crossbody granny bag and love it but I just have to put my liner in. Thanks for sharing what you do and for being up front with prices. People just don’t get it when it comes to pricing. Anyway, thank you
@@justdi3347 hi, Di! I am in Western NC, near Grandfather Mountain. I only do local shows here in my area. I'm glad you enjoyed making my cross body bag🥰 please tag me @dayscrochetnc if you choose to post🙏🏻
I LOVE your video and advice. Huge thank you from this beginner. I have a question about the "Show Stopper". I don't have a big item that I can sell (first market tomorrow). Could I possibly put something out with a tag that says "Not for sale, custome orders available"? I mainly make Plushies.
You could! Or you could simply make the price so high, it's less likely to sell if you're wanting to keep it for the showstopper at later events. My showstoppers are more expensive, but if it sells, it sells lol. That's why I usually have multiple showstoppers. Just in case! ☺️ I'm not one to turn down a sale😂
Thank you! I have around 120 patterns written in my Ravelry and Etsy shops and also on my blog. You can check them out here if you're interested: linktr.ee/dayscrochetnc.
@@couponingismyjam404 I hung it in the front left corner above a table where no one could hit their head on it but could still see it as they walked by
I give myself a flat hourly rate of $10 an hour + the cost of supplies at the very least. Then I take into account what my customers are willing to actually pay. If they're willing to pay more, I of course charge more. For example, my hats should only be around $20 by my pricing method. But because my customers are willing to pay $30, that's what I charge. I hope this helps!

To be clear, not all patterns are on my blog...
How did you put the lampshade on display?
@@couponingismyjam404 I hung it in the front left corner above a table where no one could hit their head on it but could still see it as they walked by
Hi. How do you determine how much to charge? I was wondering if it matters what area of the country you sell in? Thank you!
I give myself a flat hourly rate of $10 an hour + the cost of supplies at the very least. Then I take into account what my customers are willing to actually pay. If they're willing to pay more, I of course charge more. For example, my hats should only be around $20 by my pricing method. But because my customers are willing to pay $30, that's what I charge. I hope this helps!
You need to charge more. Double.
My customers aren't willing to pay that and I don't want to hold onto my inventory. I wish I could!
