[@ggcreatesshop]

Have you ever done a free event? I would love to know your experiences!

[@Katerinacrochets]

I just did one today thought it was great considering it was free!

[@laney2277]

I love when you have lives they are sooooo entertaining

[@ariackerson8152]

Yay! So glad you’re back! 🫶🏻😁

[@Katerinacrochets]

So glad you’re back congrats on your wedding! In those situations just make sure you have some unique patterns don’t do what everyone does! And do lots of embroidery eyes because a lot of people don’t and make sure when people come in explain the whole safety eye thing! And while your there talk your head off to other vendors, I do some events with other vendors so that we can have a good stock of different things and also be able to communicate what one another markets we’re attending

[@ggcreatesshop]

Thank you Jaden!! And yess, great tips!! I definitely need to up my embroidery game!

this is why I refuse to make the popular items because there are so many crocheters who are joining markets. at this point I am annoyed but have no choice to deal with it cause it is my full time job n make myself stand out tbh. I also try to join events asking beforehand if there is more than a certain amount

[@ggcreatesshop]

Definitely! I would for sure be more annoyed if I had paid to be at this event and then find out that there’s 10 other crocheters. But I’m interested to see how this one will go. I will definitely have to ask beforehand from here on out because events in my area aren’t the best tbh.

[@FefMyself]

Having all crocheters in the same vacinity is good for people who are only shopping for crochet items. When I to to a market there are items I am not interested in and I have to walk past many in order to see what I went for. I feel bad for the vendors I don't show interest in. All the people just walking by them.

[@ggcreatesshop]

That’s a great point!

[@kimberlyhelmick386]

And regardless of what they’re all selling, there is going to be something that sets each person apart and makes customers by from you. That competition should cause vendors to make a better product. But i do agree they shouldn’t have more than, maybe, 3…if it’s a big enough market to have 3

[@ggcreatesshop]

@kimberlyhelmick386 Agreed! Definitely going to let my products and display speak for themselves. The organization of booths is just really throwing me off because there’s a group of crocheters in one area and then there’s also other crocheters spread around? The event will be over 200 vendors so I guess idk if 10 crocheters seems like a lot but it kind of does to me. Nonetheless, I’m still excited to have another market and interested to see how it goes!

@@ggcreatesshop, I'm sorry about that but you seem like a very sweet person and I would pay more to buy from someone like that as opposed to someone arrogant or rude. If possible, find other places that won't have too many crocheter. Also, if you didn't already, maybe talk to the coordinator about it. If you said you did in your video, I missed that part. WISHING you all the best.
