    People in America that don't craft don't realize how expensive yarn or other supplies can be, not to mention how long some items take to make. We're spoiled to cheap imports. Your plush animals and fruits are really cute! I really thought the strawberry was very nice and the velvet penguin was really cute. But all of your items are really good.

    I love how open you are about the whole process start to finish, and that you're not afraid to share actual numbers. Most creators stop short of disclosing pricing. Even on your last Black Friday yarn haul, the extra effort you went to to show the different sales and comparisons between Michaels and Joann's was so helpful. Thank you! I have no idea why but I love those eggs! LOL. Just too cute. maybe its the faces. That said, most of your stuff is just adorable and it is apparent that you enjoy making them.

    Good for you standing up for yrself regarding pricing. Buyers often forget that an artisan/crafter's time is valuable and factors into pricing. Having run several businesses as a "maker" over the years, I always recommend to newbies that they track their time spent to make a project, pay themselves a living wage per hour, and let it be reflected in prices. Thanks for sharing your time and talent! Your items are adorable.

      You’re so right! So many people are scared to even share their prices because of what other people might say but artists need to make their money back in materials plus the time they spent to make something in order to actually making selling worth it! And thank you very much!! 🥰

    You had a great sale! I use safety pins to attach my price tags so no scissors. Also people need to remember that pricing also fluctuates depending on location. I live in a small town/rural area and would not have luck at selling items at higher prices. Great job!

  • @JingoCrochet
    @JingoCrochet ปีที่แล้ว +9

    From my own experience at markets, making things that I can comfortably price between $10-$30 max (I'm Canadian so this is in cad) will most likely sell because most people that attend markets are looking to buy multiple things from different vendors, the things i sell the most of are keychains ($10) and medium sized plushies that are either $20 or $25, the only time I sell things that are much more are from commissions I receive after my markets, so made to order items that range from $40-$100. I learnt that making things that don't have a lot of pieces you have to sew on are the best to make for markets (sewing legs, arms, ears, etc. takes sooooo long) I LOVE no sew patterns for markets because they're quick to make and you can make lots of them and it sucks but many people unfortunately compare handmade items to mass produced ones (my mom is my biggest critic on this 😅she will not hesitate to tell me if something is too expensive or not). I can't wait to see more market videos! 🌼

    • @katiebeingcreative
      @katiebeingcreative  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I totally agree! Smaller items definitely do better at markets and I also love no sew or low sew patterns! I plan to design a few no sew patterns for items that sell well for me just so they can be a little bit cheaper for people that don’t have much money to spend. It’s important to make sure you make enough money for your time and materials even if some people think the price is too high there will still be people that understand the pricing and a willing to purchase items :)

    A tip for you! Don’t put your sales on the tag directly, have a separate sign or tell them about it personally. If you sell one of the corn alone, then the next person who comes along will be confused by the tag because the other is no longer for sale. Plus, if they look at the two tags as $50 and that’s the price, then they learn about the discount after they will think that’s more of a steal than if it’s listed right on the tag.

    Cute items! I'm glad to see you pricing your items according to your time and talent and cost of goods. I hate it when I see crafters not put value to their time when pricing items, thereby undercutting other crafters who do. A note about the credit card charges being split into to payments. The banks/card companies go by certain business hours per day, so I would guess that at whatever time you saw it split into a second payment, the current business day ended, so any charges made after that time will apply to the next business day.

    I'm watching this now and I'm glad that you are making this video because I have no idea how much amigurumi should sell for if I was going to sell anything. I haven't made any yet because I feel intimidated. For now, I just want to make a few for my friends and family, but you never know because I'm retiring from my current career soon and not sure what I want to do next. Because I haven't made any yet, I don't even know how long it will take me to make anything. I'm still fighting with getting different stitch styles figured out, but I bought more amigurumi books than what should probably be considered healthy because the patterns are cute.

    Hello! I knitting crochet and I create my own patterns aswell, take a lot of time thinking, having mistakes and sometimes you have to do it all again from the beginning, so what I mean is that I believe your prices are a bit low (some of them), especially becouse are exclusive designs and for all the time that take make an amigurumi and the materials are not cheap if you use a good quality yarn, anyway I understand is also a competitive price, is so difficult that part of choose the price becouse we want to sell our products 😅. I have never used the plush yarn, looks faboulous for big Amigurumis. I really like your creations! The best of luck 🍀

      Thank you! I understand where you’re coming from but there’s a lot of other things you have to consider, such as the area you live in and how much other people make. The markets I go to are a lot of college students so they don’t have much extra money to spend. I also make money from selling the crochet patterns and these videos so I don’t feel the need to charge more even for the items that are my own designs

    I absolutely love the mushrooms, what if you sold them as a trio instead of individually. They look so cute together.

    i love your stuff ❤️ one very important thing though, is to not use brand names for items you sell. like squishmallow, totoro etc, or you are at risk of being sued for copyright infringement

    This may be a silly idea but um... what if you did a market where you only brought the smaller yarn based projects like mushrooms so that they don't have to compete with larger sometimes cheaper yarn projects?

    • @katiebeingcreative
      @katiebeingcreative  ปีที่แล้ว

      That would work in theory but I actually only have like 1 or 2 items left with the smaller yarn and since making those I’ve just been making items with bigger yarn :)

    Thank you so much for sharing! Ive been crocheting for a year now and ive never had the guts to charge people and just have my friends and family things for free, but i wanted to start selling plushies and other things since i cant keep crochetting without yarn... and i found that your prices are great especially for the squishmallows because those take up lots of time, and stuffing too!
    I did want to ask if youve ever sold mini squishmallows?
    Thank you once again!

    • @katiebeingcreative
      @katiebeingcreative  ปีที่แล้ว

      Of course, and thank you so much!! I've actually been considering making some mini squishmallow patterns since they would be faster to make and cheaper to sell but I just haven't gotten around to it yet! Hopefully I can do that soon and I'll be sure to share them in a video! :)

      @katiebeingcreative  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! I live in America, specifically Florida! I was just talking to a crochet friend of mine from the Netherlands and she said they don’t have any markets either! I think another good option could be trying to find local stores, maybe like coffee shops, that might let you set up a display and sell your stuff there! You’d probably have to pay a fee/ give them a percentage of your profits but I think it’d be a good idea if you don’t have events to set up at near you :)

      Thanks for sharing your very rude opinion that I specifically said I did not want to hear. All your comment does is help out my video, even if it is rude. Also I suggest fixing your grammar before you decide to leave rude comments, especially under a small business owner’s video where all I’m trying to do is help others be successful in their businesses. Not everyone is going to understand my prices but I have to price the way I do because of the amount of time and materials it takes for my items. If you don’t like a price at a store you simply decide not to purchase the item and walk away, right? It’s even easier to just click off my video if you don’t like the prices or think my items aren’t “even that good.” But on the internet you can hide without even having a profile picture and leave rude comments to people that are way more successful than you’ve probably ever thought about being. Again thank you for the comment, all it does is help me, and I truly hope you have a wonderful day even though my prices are ridiculous and they’re not even that good :)
