Descriptions:
Craft markets were one of the first places I sold ceramics — and I’ve done almost everything wrong at least once. Wrong market, wrong inventory, forgot to charge my phone. I’ve had weekends where I made a few thousand dollars and days where I barely made the booth fee. Here’s everything I actually wish someone had told me before I started.
In this video: how to research a market before you apply, what inventory to bring and why your favourite pieces are often not your bestsellers, booth setup that actually stops people in the aisle, the real math behind a market day, and what to do the week after to make it count.
