Welcome to my market recap video! I have previously done 2 pop-up events before at a community Christmas event, but this was my first ever real craft fair! I had applied in January and had been prepping for a few weeks, so my expectations were high because I felt prepared inventory-wise. Unfortunately, it did not go as well I was hoping.
I am thankful for the opportunity to get my name and work out there. I appreciate all of the support I receive from anyone who interacts with my content or makes a purchase from me.
I am still and will continue to learn! I will always appreciate any and all feedback and will be working on pricing my work fairly.
With that in mind - I do not want to undercut myself nor other crochet artists who do this as their full-time job. We can spend hours on a piece making each stitch with love. Not only are we spending money and time on the material needed to make the piece itself, but we are also putting our wrists at risk!
Overall, I will take the lessons I learned in this event and will apply them to my next event!
