My FIRST Markets🧸What Sold & How Much $$ I Made

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting my channel! I hope you enjoy this video where I discuss selling my crochet plushies for the very first time! I actually have done 3 different craft shows so far and plan to do more in the future :) Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or want to see anything specific in my upcoming market videos. Otherwise, see you in the next one!

So worth it! These are great figures for your first markets. The sales will increase with experience. Plus, there's nothing like customer feedback to help guide you on what's working and what products aren't popular!

Very informative video and thank you for being so transparent. If I may, I think that your work is great, but from what I see, your booth is missing one very important thing: the attention grabbers. A few huge plushies, priced accordingly, to bring even more people to your stall, to make you stand out from the others. Just a suggestion 😁

@@anthoulakopanelou7520 Great suggestion! I’m always looking for ways to improve my booth setup so I appreciate the feedback. I’ll try making a couple giant plushies for my next show :) Thank you!

I’m hoping to do markets soon too. Happy to have came across your channel.

Good luck! They’re definitely worth trying! :)

aaa your items are super cute! and i defiantly think those markets weren't a waste of time. you got to get your name and your brand out there and probably learned so much form the experience too which you can take forward into future events! as long as you enjoyed yourself then its all worth it! i cant wait to see what you create in the future :D

[@nikkiiscutecrochet]

Thank you I really appreciate that!😊💖

[@flyingroses]

from what I can tell, you enjoyed the market, met new people, made a lot of people happy with your creations, were able to earn back the costs of your hobby and you even made some profit on top of that. It seems to me that this market was a great success :)

[@nikkiiscutecrochet]

@@flyingroses I think so too :) Can’t wait to see what future markets hold! 💖

Not all markets are the same. You made a profit. Sometimes you may not make your table fee. It's all part of the process. 🤦. Hang in there. Your products are so nice. And you speak very well. ❤ Thank you for sharing❤ ❤❤

@@theresabuzzell5498 Thank you so much for such a kind comment! 🥰

Love all hour crochet items. Have you tried the dragons from genna? Tfs jen in south dakota!

[@nikkiiscutecrochet]

Hi Jen! Thank you so much! I have tried it and I love it! It’s one of my favorite patterns. I actually show a really cute fuzzy pink dragon in my room tour video😻

Can't thank you emogub for sharing these details. Do you mind me asking if you had to get some kind of sales license for your state?

[@nikkiiscutecrochet]

So glad it was helpful! :) I did have to get a state sales tax license. I’m in Colorado and we have what’s called a “special events” sales tax license which allows you to sell at markets without needing to have an official business setup or anything like that. Super convenient for someone looking to try it out without making too much of a commitment! Your state may have something similar. I recommend checking out your states department of revenue website or just googling what you need to do in your state to sell at markets. 😊
