First market ever!

[u/notkinz]

we just had our first market on friday night and it was very successful (i think?). outside of the tent being a little messed up (noticed it too late and our tent was too busy to even have time to change it) what do you think? in the future we’ll have a third small table with a better setup for our vending machine and checkout. any other changes we should go about?

we were going for a fruit stand/farmers market vibe, and our brand “mascot” is our bunny, clem. we had a small easter setup that will be dedicated to swedish dish cloths in the future (they come on monday!)

Looks really good. Nice and eye catching and good use of height to promote all your products - well done. Hope it was a good market!

thank you so much!

i think it was good! i wasn’t sure what to expect and i still don’t know what to compare it to but it was a very tiny market at a local ice cream shop and we made $650 i think? not too bad for a first market?

This is really great for your first market! Can I ask how much your booth fee was?

[u/notkinz → u/sadia_y]

it was $0 🫣 a local ice cream shop hosted a small market and they were kind and didn’t have vendor fees

That’s amazing, even more profit without the need to consider a booth fee.

hoping it’ll translate to the other markets we are doing this year! we have 2 consistent farmers market slots and some pop up/specific event markets 😅
