How Much $$ I Made, Best Sellers, Prices, What Didn't Sell 🍀 Crochet Market Vlog, Amigurumi Edition

[@jenjenz95]

I love these market videos! It’s honestly so interesting to hear from a vendor’s perspective. Also so proud of you for not undercutting yourself and knowing the worth of your hard work! I can’t wait to see how market #3 goes 🎉 #justiceforthemushieboys

[@crochetbygenna]

Hahahaha thank you so much Jen!! You are the sweetest🥺❤️ mushie boys say thank you!

[@Im_a_piece_of_beef]

​@@crochetbygenna are you going to another market? If so how do we find out where your markets are?

[@MahaliaBeevers]

Girl people don’t just actually watch you … THEY LOVE YOU❤

[@AlissaDiaries]

I second this! ❤

[@oriannahHelt]

I agree with you!

[@Raymondlovesnature]

well can boys watch ?

[@Name-ml2tb]

@@Raymondlovesnatureyes ofc! Crochet is for everyone 💕

[@FortniteEdits2715]

Yes boys can watch why couldn’t boys watch?

[@Marqaisa]

Definitely don't shortchange yourself. I think your plushies are pretty reasonable. In price. Plus you have the fallback of putting them on your Etsy shop to find them a good home so it's not like you put all your chips on selling out at the markets you attend. I don't know how many markets you have planned for the holiday season but I bet your sales will increase when it gets closer to the "gift buying rush". And yes weather does play a factor in foot traffic but advertising for the event also comes into play. Don't lose heart. You can do this, girl.

[@Haley.Mariee]

i felt so bad when you showed the lil guys that didn’t sell 😢 all of your work is so great. super inspiring too :)

[@az-co1ej]

lol she'll be fine they will sell trust me it's always at one market that they sell out for some reason coming from a vendor

[@cozyyy.hobbies_chelle]

Thank you for being sooo transparent! It is greatly appreciated! I have my 2nd market on September 9th/10th and your market prep videos have been great info for myself who’s very new to selling handmade items.

[@BellamyKamryn]

Good luck

[@cozyyy.hobbies_chelle]

@@BellamyKamryn thank you 🧡

[@sanniorvokki]

How did it went?

[@cozyyy.hobbies_chelle]

@@sanniorvokkithat market went really for me! Thanks for asking!

[@safz651]

Do you have to do checks on everything before selling them in the market?

[@helen9807]

Easily the best KZbinr to watch as I crochet! Love all your videos and really proud of your growth and not undercutting yourself, the hardwork that you put in on crocheting these cute plushies is definitely worth the price!! - Crochetbyying

[@ArtzyLab]

I love your videos, you've inspired me to crochet even though i don't have materials yet. At the moment, i am just binge watching your videos.

[@crochetbygenna]

Awww! This is so sweet, Im so happy to hear that🥺❤️ excited for you to start crocheting!!

[@margaretdocena3932]

Great video!! I dunno if it's a good idea or not, but you could try focusing on making smaller/less expensive plushies for markets, but have a deal where if a customer spends like $15+ then they can be entered into a raffle to win one of your large plushies for free. That may encourage customers to buy more, and then you can spread the cost of the big plushie into the prices for your smaller ones. Feel free to ignore if it's a bad idea 😅

[@shailynrussell4749]

No I actually feel like that’s such a good idea. I definitely feel a raffle would make people buy more. And like every extra $10 spent over the 15 could be an extra ticket/name for the raffle. So the more they buy, the more likely they are to win the big plushie!

[@zellynmermaid9326]

Unfortunately raffles are considered illegal gambling in many places. In the US they are often only allowed with a permit, for nonprofit organizations only.

[@Phoenix.X.Fashion]

Great idea!!!!

[@puppybunnysquid3358]

It's a great idea, but unfortunately, it's against the government terms of service in the US. There's more leniency in nonprofits, but there's a lot of legality in such an idea

[@Kinleigh.44]

Wow! I have lots to say: 1. I LOVE WATCHING YOU AND YOU INSPIRE ME SOOOO MUCH GENNA! 2. I do have to agree last market I made a point to stock up on leggy froggies but NONE sold when last market I sold out! 3. Your stuff is all so cute! 4. Last market my triceratops didn’t sell as much either!

[@kat_upsidedown9784]

On Saturday I was on a flea market at the village next to ours and I took some of my crochet plushies with me. I only did it „just for fun“, because I had no idea if anyone would buy anything. I was very surprised that I sold some of my crochet plushied. You know what sold best? Mini Octopi made by your pattern!🥰 But if I do a market again, I will also price up, because I sold them a little too cheap. Thank you so much for your inspiring videos!🥰

[@annalise0921]

How much did you sell them for?

Very surprised about the cute mushy boys! Thank you for the insight on your 2nd market!

[@alil8474]

The last market we did was over 90 degrees in Indiana. It was a two day event. And on Friday we sat outside and didn't sell anything. Heat definitely keeps people from coming and buying things. Saturday it wasn't as hot, but we did eventually make some sales.

[@janglasserscrafttreasures8161]

Love your videos and always look for them to appear. Your energy and talent are awesome. I love all of your plushies. You are a great inspiration ❤

[@CrochetByNadia]

Yaaayy!!! I'm literally so happy to watch the market prep video❤❤❤

[@crochetbygenna]

Awww yayay!!❤️ tysm!

[@justynac444]

I love to watch your videos and I hope that I can crotchet like you when I'm older you are the best crotchet artist that I have ever seen 🤩😀

[@82salvarez]

Mushy boys have never done well for me at any of my markets. It shocked me too, considering how well they seem to do for others.

[@strawberry0sunset]

It really does depend on the weather and what market you go to. I go to one that is more upscale and at night that I have made up to $700 in a night and another more local farmers market that I average about $200 in sales and its in the morning/afternoon when it's hot

[@adambailey8140]

You inspired me to keep on crocheting almost ever day I have only been crocheting for 2 month and I can already make a really cute axalotal

[@julieann5196]

I think you did pretty good. So surprised that the opossums and mushy boys didn't sell. Thanks for sharing Genna.

[@sahra-marie7573]

Thats soo crazy. I'm 14 years old and I want to start a small business on Insta with my crocheting. And I am REALLY shocked how cheap your crocheting is.8 Dollars for an octopus?! CRAZYYY. And the Turtels are soo cutee.❤

[@veravogel9131]

The set up is so cute 🥰 I love the chickens!!

[@knitwitchcraft]

I love how honest and transparent you are about your business and everything that goes into it. You inspired me to prep and sign up for my first market in October!

[@lorischager4029]

Craft shows anywhere are always unpredictable. Your items look amazing. Hope you register to sell your items at Christmas shows in your area.

[@monicas29]

I just started crocheting and came across your videos! you definitely motivated me to keep it up and maybe I can start selling as well! Thank you girl, Keep it up!

[@ChantelleArts]

I'm always curious about this kind of stuff, I just find it so fascinating ❤

[@lizziegracecrochet]

I'm so sorry for the things that didn't sell.but we still love and support you Genna

[@amandaddy388]

What! I am shocked those mushy Bois didn't sell! 12$!? They are too cute! Is there a pattern available?

[@Anonymousweirdo2000]

I table in San Diego and my chickens literally sold out 😂 you can never tell what is going to do good where. It’s a mystery

[@davidjaycox538]

Hi!! Congrats on ur market!! I was looking forward to watch and see what knew creations u made!! 😀😀😀

[@guillianabridges4519]

love your energy just wanted to let you know the o in the beginning opossum is silent. you rock and keep going to markets and youll see that every single one of them is so different.

[@TheJoyfulWeirdo]

My first market is on September 23rd and I am so excited but also so nervous. Your videos have been a huge help!

[@dojagotcake]

hi! how did you find a market? i don’t know where to find a market

[@rainbowguggy3064]

Me be like i only have a bit to go into your video and then i saw crochet bay genna uploaded:... and i was so happy💙💙

[@crochetbygenna]

Aww!! too sweet🥺❤️

[@crochet_by_ray18]

Quick question how do u wash any of ur plushies like soft yarn and acrylic? If u do wash them can u plz make a video about it if u can ty love watching ur videos keep it up!

[@plate232]

I know you said it would be difficult for you to figure out, but do you have a ballpark estimate for how much yarn you use for your patterns in terms of fractions of skeins or how many iterations of a pattern you can get out of one skein?

[@Cutiedoki]

I don’t understand some of the comments here saying that her prices are high. The prices of the smaller pieces are actually priced lower than the usual. I myself makes and sale amigurumi plushies and I can tell you that I won’t price those hens at $10. Handcrafted items are never cheap, but not outrageously priced as well.

[@mehxr7791]

yall get upp!! the queen has postedd!!

[@ElianaandIsla]

Your prices are actually very reasonable! 😊 and your products are so cute!!

[@crochet_by_ray18]

Can't wait to watch it! Love love love ur videos ❤❤❤❤

[@crochetbygenna]

Aww thank you so much❤️

[@elenathegreat]

best booth, killing it!!!🎉

[@Mango--Mochi]

When you have projects left over from a market, it’s good to sell them on your online store, e specially if this is their second market that they didn’t sell at. People will buy them online for higher prices ❤

[@anissiabalistreri9612]

The opossum is so adorable

[@kerryprzytula7]

Love all your items. Some of the prices are too high. Turtles are adorable. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you the best!

[@Crochet_L0VE]

Thank you for this Genna!!! It was super helpful, im going to be doing my own market soon and i now know to lower the price of the turtles a bit, because even the small ones take a while. They end up being so expensive!!! I love all your videos, your such an inspiration, thanks 😁 EDIT: i think the only reason some of those popular things didn't sell is because people dont get how hard it is to make the things us crocheters make, or how time consuming it really is😓

[@plate232]

Did anyone tell you what specifically drew them to your booth? Did the people who bought the small turtles consider buying the bigger ones before deciding on the little guys?

[@gsagadin]

this helps yes! I just made three mushroom bois this morning!! (Not velvet just 4 ply yarns)

[@rebekahpope4875]

My kids really love your chickens! I didn't see where the pattern is from

[@crochetbygenna]

Aww thanks! oakandmarlo

[@C-D820]

You should put a box and paper and pencils and ask people for feedback and ideas of what ti sell

[@sarahlaplaca87]

WE LOVE YOU GENNA!!!!

[@simplefaithanddaisies]

you are doing great. love watching your videos. I know that i saw another crafter professional say she weighs the yarn. So you use scales for like mail or food. weigh yarn before using without label, then after you crochet that project, weigh that same skein of yarn. this helps you know your cost by weight to better help you price things, especially since we can get yarn on sale, but i would keep your 'cost' per skein at regular price (even if you got it on sale which you can note in your finances to know you earned even more profit) but when you price the items, do it based on regular price for that yarn. I hope that is helpful. You are such a joy to watch and you are very talented. WHen you held up your "small child" size turtle which i call child-size turtle.. and hugged it, I was like, I'm 52yr old and I need that turtle~! So you are a good seller!

[@ashleyquiros2899]

I love your videos so much and I can't wait to begin this process!!!!. What hooks do you recommend??❤

[@Jenisparkles]

Hi Genna!!👋 Your videos are great love watching them! I have been crocheting for years and a "little" 😉 older than u...being my age I didn't think I could really start a small business but watching u and Katie being creative has inspired me to go for it!!❤ Your prices are exactly what I would charge, I find your prices to be extremely fair and less than other designers charge. Because I love u so much I did want to throw it out there that the O in opossum is silent. My dad was a zookeeper for 13 years so I am sure the O is silent...lol...unless it varies depending on where u live in the country?! Just thought of that. Anyway THANKS for being so transparent and sharing ur talents with us!!😊

[@EveryPeachInReach]

Those little chickens are so cute. My daughter would lose her mind if I made her one of those

[@SxmplyEmii]

I love all your plushies and videos and you inspire me so much to crochet more and try new things! Also, if you see this, may I ask what type of yarn you use?

Ya know how you said you where swearing to death? Well… I went to the market yesterday and my mom said she was about to pass out and my whole family had red face + my friend! Also that was when I got my first crochet plushie and for my bday I’m getting a crochet kit… I’m so exited and 🫵 you are inspiring me!

[@nitashay]

Thanks for the great overview, ery informational. The O in opossum is silent. Possem . You go girl!

[@cookies.crochet]

This video is nice to see 😊 as a beginner i’m really interested in getting into things like this eventually! thanks for all the info, great work!

[@ViktoriaMarkussen]

I love how honest you are about how the market went, what sold and did not. I was super surprised that everyone kept saying bees sold very well, but I eneded up selling 15 bees at my last market :o I expected leggy frogs to sell that well (sold about 7), and chunky mushrooms (sold just 1) xD Crazy how different sales are over the world/country :P

[@semifitkindofgirl]

You should try and do a bulldog since you’re in Mississippi and maybe an elephant or tiger depending on whether you’re closer to Alabama or Louisiana.

[@thebutter5852]

Watching you has made me want to start crocheting so bad! I just don't know where to start! I'm curious as to how you price your plushies? Because you some that seem similar in size are different prices, do you go based off of the yarn you use?

[@raeesakhota8244]

But I love the sunflower turtle 😊

[@Room4Cuppycake]

Hi. New to your videos and I’m glad I found you. Your stuff is so cute!! Quick question: do you charge tax or do you already include that in your prices?

[@DreamyStitchStudio-yi8cl]

Ive been wondering if key chains sell better or worse because ive been thinking of adding key chains to my already finished projects to make it more valuable and usable. If anyone could comment that would be amazing! Also i love your videos, you've helped me research so much and learn about what sells! Have a wonderful day!
