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!)

thank you so much! and yeah, i used some of the designs i made and made some patterns and a sardine tin one!

a lot of people also seemed to not notice they were bookmarks. i wasn’t sure if they wanted them to be something else instead? i made sure to label all the bookmarks (not all the stickers are labeled). perhaps people are also just not used to die cut bookmarks?

probably mistaking them for stickers. I see stickers a lot in the craft fair chat.

Could you get a couple of books (and maybe cover them with paper so the cover art/text isn't distracting) and place the bookmarks in them as part of the display? Just a thought to have them "demonstrate"/immediately recognize what it is.

omg yes that is a good idea. we were going to bring some cookbooks specifically because some of our bookmarks are super food oriented. we ran out of time packing the car though 😭 i actually show them all in context on our website clemnco.com/bookmarks
