Such a great video! And it's just your first one? Wow, girl, you nailed it. Your crochet plushies are adorable 💗 You did great on your first market, good job. But please, don't underprice yourself. Crochet takes so much time and the materials are so expensive. I know that the big plushes seem like they are too expensive but they are handmade and take so much time! I have the same problem with my big plushies, I feel like they are very expensive but at the same time I spend to many hours on them. We should not underprice ourselves.

[@AimeCreates]

Binging all of your videos & sending good energy your way! 💗

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

You're the best!

[@jackieschneider7354]

Your table looked great! Pricing is always a challenge. You did well for your first go at it.

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thank you 😊 definitely working on finding the right price range

[@amberkemp9026]

You did great for your first market. I love markets! I like to get feedback from the customers and enjoy seeing all the smiles you put on everyones face! Agree with possums and axolotls being a best seller. To my surprise possums are my #1 seller. I take at least 15-20 and they all sell out. Your next market will be amazing based on what you learned. Good luck 😊

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Tysm for the support and wow you crush it!!! ☺️

[@sherryrobinson9602]

Your setup was great for your first market. The Crochetpeneur has several videos on pricing. She also has a free version for pricing (when subscribed for newsletter) and a full paid version. This may help you find out what is the right price to charge for each product. May also help you to see what products a higher/lower price may be. You want to make a profit not a loss. Find markets that fit you niche. Are there schools in your area that have craft fairs/markets? A larger item (other the mermaid) may be a better attention grabber. I have seen some who have done a unicorn, squid or other larger items.

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

I’ll have to check out that channel! I appreciate the advice. The first couple markets I attended were art fairs and craft shows, but I’m definitely going to look into any school markets, that’s definitely the people who are looking for this niche 🙏🏼

[@ellellim]

Nice vid! Thanks for making n posting It, but can u please turn off the background music? I could barely hear n understand u...

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thanks for watching 😊and thank you for the feedback, I’ll take note when I edit the next video 🫶🏻

[@nikkirimmer2831]

I just went a dollar tree recently and they have so many cute containers and buckets!

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

I have to check it out ! 🫶🏻

[@YarisCrochets]

i want to do my first market soon and was questioning doing Axolotls bc i didn’t even know what that animal was until i started getting into crocheting 😂 def doing them now thanks for the tip💕 hopefully they are a hit for me as well😊 Also loved your video can’t believe it’s your first one couldn’t even tell till i checked to watch something else of yours😭

[@YarisCrochets]

6th subscriber wishing you the best!😊

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

😂 my brother plays Minecraft and he told me I HAD to make them, I was worried nobody would know what they were and boy was I wrong ! Good luck with your first market 😁 Camryn’s cute creations is another crochet artist who has a website with a free market checklist which helped me get everything together that I hadn’t thought of. I have more markets I’m going through currently and will be posting the video of all of them soon 🫶🏻 thank you so much for the support

[@KnotSoCrazy]

Hey girl hey !! New subbed I had to get to the beginning so I can have a marathon of your channels 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[@HoneybeeGurumi]

OMG you did amazing, and i like your setup 🤩 i'm rooting for your success, both in markets and here in yt! ps. i also looooove crocheting bunnies, they're my fave! 🐇

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thank you for supporting! More to come🫶🏻 and YES the bunnies 😍 I have two pet bunnies, a tattoo of them and I can’t stop crocheting bunnies 😅🤣

[@tashahudson1398]

Congratulations. Also look at Katie being creative on KZbin. She does lots of markets.

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thank you ! Funny enough at my most recent market I was at katie being creative showed up as a customer at the event! it was really neat to meet her and of course watch her videos 😋

[@tashahudson1398]

I loved your market videos. Hope to see more content from you.

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thank you for supporting! More to come🫶🏻

[@LifeNStitches]

Looking forward to watching your channel grow 💙 You did amazing.

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thank you so much!!😊 🫶🏻

[@TheTopKnotchCrochet]

the blue baby bear lovey is so cute! Maybe embroidering sleepy eyes would make it more marketable? the no eye look may be a bit jarring but a bit of black thread would make it a sleeping teddy

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

You know, I didn’t think about how offputting no eyeballs could be, until I took a setback and looked at it again😅 that specific bear ended up selling to a newborn for Christmas but in the future I’ll definitely make sure I at least add embroidered eyes lol

[@kimethaturner152]

I like that teeshirt. The bug collection shirt. Congrats on the market. Very cute items

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thank you so much 😊 tee shirt was from a hot topic or Spencer’s

[@nmarie3012]

Omg! I’m prepping for my first market too this summer. Please edit and post your affiliate links so I can purchase them. I need all of the physical items for the booth. Thanks for sharing, beautiful. ❤

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Have fun prepping ! I just added the links, I hope you find it helpful 🫶🏻😊

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Would LOVE to be friends😊 I did the exact same thing as you while prepping everything, I binged KZbin and all the market prep videos 😂 Thank you so much for the support 😊 🫶🏻

[@pottymouthedplanter]

amazing job!!!!!!

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Thank you ! 😊

[@sugartin]

Great, first video! My first market is coming up in a few weeks, so I am in prep mode and I’m going to take your advice about the axolotl’s and the possums. I’m out in California and I really want to make some alligators 😂. Your banner looks amazing! Where did you get it printed? I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos 😊

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Glad it was helpful! My banner is from VistaPrint, they always have a sale or coupons available 😊 thank you for the support

[@happyhya]

Congratulations on your first market! You made a lot! How long did it take to make all those?

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Over all I made stuffies for two months prepping for the market 😅 didn’t want to burn out so I definitely took some days off

[@zehrahaider9975]

I'll advise you to lower the music it kinda distracts although love your prep❤ goodluck🎉

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

I will definitely take note for my next prep video🫶🏻

[@aparlinproject]

Where in florida are you? Im in Bradenton and am curious how you go about coming up with your prices.

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

Hey! I’m in south Florida. The markets I’ve been to have taken place in Tampa and Englewood. I used CrochetbyBay’s spreadsheet to get a general price for materials and I checked a ton of similar market videos 😁

[@Eastybeastyy]

Psst, where the top youre wearting in the intro from :O

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

It was on a clearance rack in hot topic 🥹

[@Eastybeastyy]

@@SweetBeansCrochet Well now my dreams are shattered 😂

[@RhiannanMakes]

What do you mean about the qr code? 😬 I have them on mine, is that bad?

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

When I mentioned messing up my QR code it because I accidentally signed up for a free QR code promotion and I attached it to all my links and photos. Then I printed it out on a ton of cards and the promotion ended so the only way to make the QR code useable was to purchase a subscription with the QR code people 😭 so I learned the hard way. If your QR code is free and genuinely working for you, people enjoy using them ! I just wish I realized before I printed that I chose an expensive option

[@belindaslomp1253]

You need to turn the music down so we can hear you better

[@SweetBeansCrochet]

I will make sure to fix that in my next video, sorry !

[@belindaslomp1253]

Looking forward to next video
