I've found that doing markets at a school function never go well. I've learned to only take part in markets/craft shows that are for that purpose only. When craft booths are incorporated with a school event or other public event, patrons are there to attend that function and are not always interested in purchasing items. Just my observation and experience! Good luck at any market/event you participate in!

[@craftyworkingmama]

Love the homemade big scrunchie stand

[@NeitaFajita]

Thank you! I need him to make me some more

[@craftyworkingmama]

@@NeitaFajita I want to make some for myself but haven’t had the time lol

[@jewelbrooks3301]

I sell at craft shows. It’s nice to have some things that are $5 and under. A lot of time parents will let there child buy

[@EJsDaughter]

HI. Good luck to you. I completed a two-day craft fair last weekend. I'm still tired. Take care of yourself and stay hydrated. Don't forget your snacks.

[@Grammanonna1957]

I just love your videos. I tried the burrito method for the first time and it wasnt fun fir me 😂. Going to try again tho…you make it look so easy.

[@NeitaFajita]

It was tricky at first but after a few tries you will get it down ❤

[@jessiegibson9023]

Good video thanks looks good

[@beauteewithinyou]

Craft fairs are definitely a hit or miss. I just recently experienced the same thing. A lot of traffic but no one buying. The other vendors experienced the same. But I hope all your future fairs go amazingly well 🤗

[@casiestrosnider8879]

Good luck at your upcoming markets! Don’t get discouraged, just keep trying new things! And don’t compare yourself to others, people use the term sold out very loosely!!! ❤️❤️

[@kraftsbykayleebrooke6469]

I preferably do not like shows that are more based with kid activities due to their mainly there for the activities and not to buy from the vendors. Another thing I think maybe a solid white or black table cloth would help with your beautiful work stand out on the table. Also, good to add some little bit bigger and higher priced items to bring in more revenue for your booth especially with the crafts shows being $50 or more. I usually attend farmers market for only $20 and make sure to have my small items around $5-$8 and have bigger items ranging from $20-$40 and some around $12-$15. I hope future craft shows will continue to be better. I would add the shirts and sweatshirts already made in your booth with trending designs or saying at the time and that should boost the amount of you end up with in a show. The bell bottoms are adorable!! Matching headband and bows would be cute!

[@1ilyilyily]

I think the white table cloth will really help your scrunches stand out 💕wishing you luck!

[@makingnewdreamscometrue]

You should make a lot of scrunchies. In fact more than a lot. Make 3 different sets of signs so for the first 2 hours you have a regular price list, at 2-4 hours you have slightly reduced price list, and for the last 2 hours have a further reduced price list.

[@NeitaFajita]

I was thinking about doing that with the signs! Such a good idea to help clear out stuff so I don't have to pack a ton back up.

[@sarahj6190]

Good luck with your last two craft markets hope you sell out ❤️🙌🏻

[@NeitaFajita]

Thank you!

[@jessicalinn7077]

My mom & I used to make little girls headbands. We did 1 market & little girls loved them and literally squealed when they saw them but one mom literally walked by and made fun of our head bands her daughter liked and talked about how ugly they were 🙃 my mom & I just standing there like 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ we never tried again lol

[@NeitaFajita]

Oh my I am so sorry someone said that! Someone said that once too about my bell bottoms when they walked by lol I didn't even know what to say haha

[@cristinahawkins6057]

I did a craft fair in early November. I made the scrunchies the main item to sell. Well........I sold 3 scrunchies(total)!!!! What did sell(to my surprise), were my "microwave bowl cozies!!) Who knew??? We were going to do a church craft fair. But, when we got the application, there were so many(as my hubby put it), too many hoops to jump through. I won't go into detail of what the hoops we had to jump through. I'm doing a craft fair in May. It's during the Mother's Day weekend. So I will be making more microwave bowl cozies. Plus I will be taking all of my scrunchies, try to sell some??

[@kathykaplan497]

How much did you charge for your bowl cozies?

[@NeitaFajita]

At the craft fair I went to yesterday the booth next to me had those cozies and she was selling a ton of them! I was surprised too but they were a big hit for her too. Good luck on your next craft fair! My scrunchies did well this weekend at the two markets I went too. They really liked the group deals I did with them. 1 for $7, 2 for $12, or 3 $15

[@cristinahawkins6057]

@@kathykaplan497 $4 ea, or 4/$15

[@cristinahawkins6057]

And what was so funny about these cozies, is that they were going to be Christmas gifts for family and friends. But then Covid-19 happened and I just stored them in a tote.

[@grammagi6130]

You did better than I did I scheduled 2 holiday craft events for the last two years and both were canceled two years in a row so now I have totes of crafts ready to go but not sure how it will go …I do love your scrunches I made them for school craft fairs they sold but my price was in line with stores ….I also offered deals if you paid cash …good luck

[@beth6085]

Word to the wise.. you do NOT want to deal with pageant moms. they want everything right now! at the last minute and they change designs at last minute.. everything is custom sizing. If you aren't an experience seamstress (note it has the word "stress" in it lol).. believe me.. you do not want to go there with your business!

[@NeitaFajita]

Omg thanks for the heads up 🤣 that definitely doesn't sound like it would be enjoyable to do hehe

[@margaretsullivan2206]

Looks like Skycrest on Mariposa

[@lisavaniderstine6212]

Good luck! Have fun .

[@debbiedempsky8160]

I think you need to add other items to your table. Since you have embroidery machines, maybe consider adding some ITH zipper bags, poop bags, etc. Also, for Christmas time, lots of ITH Christmas ornaments as well.

[@margaretsullivan2206]

Cries.... Taco bell.. There is no Taco bell in Tasmania Neita. When I get to California in February I will have Taco bell for my first meal. Lol

[@tonib9277]

When you mentioned someone says the higher the market, the better the turnout. I honestly think that is wrong advise. My best show of the year is a show I only pay $50/booth to vend at; and it's a multi-day show. So, $100 for a 10x20 for 3 days and make 50 times the booth rent is really good for me.

[@NeitaFajita]

Wow that's amazing! My 2nd best show I paid $0 for the booth, so it just really depends on the event and the type of customers. I just haven't had good luck at the booths that I only pay $50, everyone experience is different.

[@tonib9277]

@@NeitaFajita Yes ma'am. I know I don't do well at craft shows, but do really well at festivals. For some reason, our festival booth fees are really cheap compared to craft shows, but they draw in tens of thousands of people. If you haven't had a chance to experience festivals as a vendor; please give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.

[@SheWritesHerJourney_]

Although things didn’t work out like you had envisioned, but ultimately it’s only preparing you for greater. Of course you want to make money, but you would also gain experience, knowledge and just feel even more confident in what you’re doing. Regardless of what it goes, know that you got this!

Think that this demographic would buy the Birthday outfits at a later date. Building your list with a giveaway. Get those email addresses. Set up an ipad or have a QR code ready with the mail list sign up.

[@miaforte8536]

Your booth looked awesome.

[@NeitaFajita]

Thats a great idea! And thank you!

[@whoohoo7]

Why didn't you sell any embroidered or vinyl t-shirts?

[@triciaphillips8560]

Love your machine!! What brand is it? Where did you learn how to make the scrunchies? I have 3 granddaughters that would love them!

[@josierose8889]

Craft fairs/markets are all about engaging with customers. Maybe at the next one you should try not going live or vlogging very much, stand behind your stall with a big small on your face, catch people's eye as the go past and give them a smile...customers can be really put off by vendors just sitting and chatting with each other..like if you walked into a high end store you would be pissed if the staff members were just sat looking at their phones right!

[@NeitaFajita]

Totally agree! This event we only went Live during the setup of the booth and only vlogged about a minute of the event because there was so many kids around and I didn't want to get them on camera. I said hello and smiled to every customer that walked by as well and was super chatty with people. I also stood too the entire time because it was freezing lol.. They just weren't buying or interested. I think people were mostly there for the activities and not really there to buy anything. Also the weather was crappy too so I'm sure that played into it as well

[@beth_faithful_heart]

Do you use square for tracking your inventory as well as payments?

[@kathykaplan497]

Since you make t shirts can you tell me what you do if you mess upon the vinyl. I make t shirt quilts and the iron melted a small part of a word. Is it fixable?

[@NeitaFajita]

Usually if I mess up I just let my boys wear them as pj shirts or for playing outside (they love playing in the mud lol) I really haven't found a way to fix them if I mess up but luckily I don't mess up to often

[@lisavaniderstine6212]

Hi newts I need your help! I have a pe 550andthe thread wraps around the spool pin between the thread and the cap that holds the thread I place. How do I prevent this from happening. Any other comments are welcome, just be kind please

[@NeitaFajita]

Hello! I invested in a thread stand because I kept having that same issue. The thread stand was $10 on amazon for me. The thread caps always gave me issues.

[@jenita197]

What size elastic do you used

[@laurenamber893]

Where do you get your fabric from?

[@NeitaFajita]

I get my fabric from Etsy or Joanns for small quantities and for bulk I purchase from alibaba

[@ingridarlington5745]

I understand it's alot of work, but I would never pay $10 for a scrunchie. Reduce your price and see how that goes. I look at it as this..Did it take you an hour to make one? Thats like making $10 an hour. Since you buy in bulk, what is your supply cost? Maybe calculate that and price it that way with labor time. I use to sell chocolate dipped strawberries. People would sell a dozen for $16. I sell for $8.00. Since I would dip so many and in bulk cases, you sell alot more and still make a profit. I see YT people sell their scrunchies for $22. That's just crazy, but it's just for the name/label I think. Good luck and hope things go better for you. Also: You should be wearing a scrunchie when selling. People need to visualize what you are selling and see how cute they are on a person.
