Hey everyone! I'm still recovering from my flu, so I did more of a podcast/slideshow video today... but I hope you'll find it helpful! Today I'm talking about the prep work I do to get ready for the artist alley.

The Square reader like pictured does look the same and is free, however, they have a second version that's larger and it does the dip and tap on a debit card. That one costs about $60 CAD, but it's worth the investment in the end I feel.

[@FireflyRaye]

Agreed! I did eventually make the upgrade to this model. Very much worth it!

[@JustCallMeInsane]

This is one of the most helpful videos i've watched. Thank you!

[@FireflyRaye]

Oh wow! I'm so glad this could be helpful, even to an artist exhibitor veteran :) Thank you for the kind words

[@helenealonso6767]

@@FireflyRaye of course! I used to think I would get organized next time... Then I got tired of having a mess behind the booth or spending hours repacking things each time and not remember where I put them... But it's a gradual process when you're not the tidy/organized type xD

[@imdownbad2169]

Thank you so much for the vid!! May I ask, how do you do your stickers? I have a convention super soon which I hate to say im very underprepared for (first time) and I don’t think I could get my stickers here in time if I got them don’t thru a manufacturer. Great video!! It’s helping out a lot haha

[@annieisodd]

[@FireflyRaye]
