FOR MAKERS
Not sure where to start? Here are some things you
might want o add to your checklist for Market Day!
might want o add to your checklist for Market Day!
Time + Supplies + Effort
When thinking about pricing your products, make sure you're counting all the experience you have, plus the cost of your supplies and studio space, and the energy it takes to be a Maker! Not to mention the cups of coffee, the late nights full of snacks and "just one more minute" hours.
Don't be afraid to value your work and value yourself. Don't undersell something you truly loved working on, it can make you feel like it wasn't worth the time. |
This is a Marketplace
Think about your booth space like a customer coming
into a store: What would they need to see to want to buy?
Make the best use of your table with different levels of products, for example small stuff up front, large stuff behind. Use baskets to keep similar items easily contained. --- PRO TIP: Have one or two "WOW" items to draw in your customers. |
Don't Stress. Make It Fun!Bring a chair for the slow times, 9am to 1pm will be a long time on your legs. Bring some small crafts to work on, or a book to read just in case.
Most importantly: Don't stress if you don't sell anything, this is only one of many upcoming events. With experience, you'll get comfortable with your booth setup, your best sellers, ideal signage and pricing and make it truly YOURS. |
