Greetings,

I'm someone who runs events for a non profit organization. We have a car show coming up, which typically doesn't align with craft fairs. However, because we have a large empty space and we're right dab smack in the middle of a family-dense neighbrhood, I'm trying to increase attendance by also setting up a vendor section, that doesn't have to be related to cars at all. Just something for the community to come and enjoy. It's a five hour event (six if you include setup/breakdown) and because I cannot guarantee success, we aren't charging any fees.

My question is, how viable is my idea from the side of a potential vendor? Is it something that would be of interest because of the little to no risk? Or is it just not something that's worth the time since the audience may not match what you're trying to sell.

Thanks.

Is it worth the price to vend at this event?

So we primarily do Renaissance Festivals with our patchwork being at the 100+ dollar range. WE are trying to move out of just Ren faire to conventions. They seem like they have their heads together but I was wondering anyone have vended for them before. What was it like? Is my product going to be to expensive? Is there a good amount of people that show up? Thanks in advance for advice. Pictures are of things we sell (mostly my staff wearing them).

Hi so every first and last day of school I like to make these for my girls. Would this be something you or someone may be interested in purchasing ?

Sometimes I use canvas. This time around I used poster board.. paint markers.. sometimes paint.. markers... stickers and little doodles sometimes.

I was thinking maybe $15 dollars if I did do something like this maybe a little more if they want a specific sticker/decor and if it is on canvas. If i did make a post online Id cap it at around 5 orders. Ive never done anything like this before but I think I do an okay job. And with some notice/ planning 5 doesnt seem that bad.

A photo of my booth from over the weekend! I feel like I struggle a lot with a clear display because I do have a lot of inventory from this year, and I also do prefer leaning into a maximalist setup. I've also upgraded my color scheme to match my signage (red, pink, white, and toadstool aesthetic), and this is the first time I got to use my banner!

With this in mind, how could I go about making my products 'pop' more? My next event is in two weeks under a 10x10 tent with two 6ft tables and a hanging rack for bags. Would love to hear comments and suggestions!

I sell my handmade clothes at local markets. I display my most eye catching and market-themed pieces on the smaller rack (left in first pic) and have the rest on a circle rack. I am worried about over crowding the rack being overwhelming to shoppers. But also I want to have as much of a variety of pieces because I am consistently the only vendor with exclusively plus sized options.

Anyone have any thoughts about how much to display?

Also I'd love to hear any feedback from plus size shoppers about their market shopping experiences. I know we rarely see clothes for us at these events, and that is why I love doing this!

Any and all feedback welcome. Thanks again y'all 😊

I know I know, I need a banner & a sidewall for the back
That one’s already in the works!

New to craft fairs, just got invited to one in a month trying to build up some inventory to sell. Made a few sets of these quilted-esque coasters that I figured I could bundle and sell as a group but I'm not sure where to start on pricing...

Also, should I be looking to make a bunch of little, low price items or should I be focused on the middle to high ticket stuff?

Any help whatsoever would be appreciated, I don't really know what I'm doing and will take ALL feedback and suggestions on anything related to starting out!

Thank you in advance!!!
