Selling Crochet Plushies at the Farmer's Market (Week 2!) Market Vlog & Results!

[@lizcarter6938]

I love the idea of clear bags for the reason that other people at the market can SEE what others have purchased and it's like free advertising. IN MY CASE I chose to purchase the large brown lunch bags from walmart and put my QR code stamp on the bags. This replaced business cards since they usually ended up in the garbage. I am a firm believer that saving a penny here and there adds us!

[@MadebyMandaMal]

I do the clear bags for the advertising but they deff add up and I LOVE the stamp idea. I put my bigger items in big paper bags so even if I just use them for that I just wanna stamp stuff😂

[@mdp3827]

Love this! The more you’re vlogging the more confident you seem and the more of your character comes out which is lovely. You make me smile. Glad the markets are going well. The fox situation is brilliant! Hope it drives business your way

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Thank you so much for the comment and thanks for watching!🥹💕

If you're doing farmers markers, you could check out what stalls there are and make things for those stalls. They could buy them, or you could give them one with the condition they have your card there. The chickens on an egg stall, maybe some cute veggies or fruits etc. Idk if that would work/rules for the stalls, but I think it would be good advertising.

[@MadebyMandaMal]

I was thinkin about that actually! Love that idea. Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for watching!!💕

[@ChristineMalandrino-zd8eh]

Absolutely LOVE this video!!! Really enjoyed that you took us along with you to see the Market event up close & personal. The interactions with your customers is so sweet. Hopefully your next spot will be sewer odor free! I think the sensory pop it’s are a wonderful addition to your inventory. It’s hard to believe no takers for the little rainbows this week. They are super cute! Always keep up the good work! 🥰

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Thank you so much🥹💕 thanks for watching!’

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I came for the crochet content & stayed for the personality & sense of humor 😂 “Craft girl math” is 10000% accurate 😂. One of mine is if I don’t buy something that’s on a huge sale then I’m losing money 🤡 lol 😂 One I’ve figured out recently is that whatever is in my cash box - I completely forget it exists so it helps me save money that way 😂

[@MadebyMandaMal]

I’m guilty of that too😅 also if I’m buying yarn on sale obv I have to buy 3x the amount I needed because it’s on sale so I’m SAVING MONEY #craftgirlmath 😂 thanks so much for watching!

[@sherryrobinson9602]

You did a great job with the spot you had at this Farmers Market. Have you thought of massage for hands, forearm and upper arm once a month? I do some self-care also such as breaks, stretching, and hand/arm exercises.

[@MadebyMandaMal]

I tried to find hand massages near me and didn’t have much luck. Should I just call places and ask for a specialty massage kind of thing? What do you do?

[@sarahlovesfenway25]

If you want to add more popits, I highly recommend the Florina the Flower Fidget by Whimsyshadesofcrochet! They are so cute but were also my best seller at my last market!

[@MadebyMandaMal]

I’m definitely going to check that out! Sounds so cute! Thank you for the suggestion!!💕

[@shellieposavatz5235]

After you've finished your month with this market doing it every week, it would be lovely to hear your thoughts on how it went and how you feel after doing that rounds of markets. I've been doing a market about once monthly but last month did 3 in the month and although I was tired I felt really energized about my progress

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Maybe I’ll do an overall farmer’s market review/breakdown video I like that idea! It’s definitely a lot but I just love doing events so I feel that😂💕

[@candacespees7040]

I googled crochet thumb and exercises popped up.😁

[@MadebyMandaMal]

I’ve defffff been working on my stretches😅

I just found your channel. I couldn’t believe that I knew exactly where you were selling. I was thinking about coming by. Are you there every Sunday in June?

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Yes!! That’s so crazy! Would love to see you!💕

[@camillescrochet777]

So happy for your great market ❤. I was wondering if you could sell some plushies on consignment at the coffee shop!?!

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Thank you so much! I love that idea!! I’ll ask them if they’re open to it. Thanks so much for the suggestion and for watching! 💕

[@camillescrochet777]

@@MadebyMandaMal You never know … I would love to see that for you! Good luck!

You should definitely add some purple mushrooms those are my best sellers

[@MadebyMandaMal]

That is very good to know thank you!! Like a light or dark purple?

[@SimplyJayCreations]

Honestly any purple they are always a hit

[@Sara-s3b2t]

I'm trying to do research on what I'd the best thing to use to charge people what company wise ...

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Like a software to use? I use square for all my transactions!! It’s great

[@Sara-s3b2t]

@MadebyMandaMal that's what I meant to say is square and the fees are low ...

[@Thefatcatcrochets24]

I'm exhausted just watching it, you must be exhausted by the end of the day 😊

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Always😅 Sundays are for markets and then naps🙃 thanks for watching!

[@cottontailcrafts1719]

I was worried about a Indian food vendor smell getting in my plushies you win lol

[@MadebyMandaMal]

that would also be stressful tho😂

[@cottontailcrafts1719]

@@MadebyMandaMal it so was! I made hubby smell my stock lol

My daughter and I after we make a little effort doing absolutely the minimum amount of work.. "we deserve a lil treat. We earned it."... crack girl math.

[@MadebyMandaMal]

I fully support this behavior😌💕

[@GoingCrochetzy]

Awesome booth!!! Ewwww sewer 💩 i also made some rainbows ❤

[@MadebyMandaMal]

Thank you so much!💕 I love the lil rainbows🥹

[@keishapearson7221]

Check out Dr Dray, a dermatologist on KZbin. She recommends CeraVe Healing Pintmemt for very dry skin. I use it and after a hand-wash it stays on you but doesn't get on your yarn 💜 also I love your videos and designs as a fellow crocheter!

[@MadebyMandaMal]

I will definitely look into that! Thanks so much for the suggestion and thanks for watching!🥹💕

[@maryelgin9919]

I hope your items don’t smell like sewer now.

[@MadebyMandaMal]

RIGHTTT I didnt even think about that part🙄
