Hi! I'm Manda and I make stuff! I make crochet plushies that I sell at market events and online and I'm here to share my crochet business adventures with you all so we can learn from each other! Thanks for watching!
I prefer the October with bobble stitches, I agree it's cuter for sure 😍

This may be a silly question... but how do you calculate your material costs for the yarn specifically. I can deduct keychains and eyes etc, but just not sure the best way to calculate the yarn cost. Thank you in advance!!

Hi Manda Mel, Your video was suggested to me so I just subscribed to your channel, I’ve been watching you on your videos. I just adore you and all your animals that you have made. I am watching this video and I really loved watching you do a mock set up of your tables. And with the yellow walls with the rainbow painted on your walls really make you table pop with color, maybe see if you could make a backdrop for your farmers market pop-ups. I like how you ask your audience what their thoughts of where to put things on your tables and asking other questions to get your audience interested and to have a conversation with and with each other. Hope you have a great rest of your day and look forward to see your next video😊👍

My friend is on her 4th year at a market and as a houseplant business (i feel price point and demand is similar at markets) she finds every other week is a really good vibe for a full summer market. $60 a day is ASTRONOMICAL. We're in Pittsburgh pa and for a bi weekly, 5 month market i believe her vendor fee is $250. Its definitely gotten better and we're way more efficient as we've done the market. We do less individual markets and stick to just big events that have high traffic and the occasional new event. Good luck! Each market is soo different and so is each year at markets 😂
@MadebyMandaMal2 күн бұрын
WOW that’s a helpful perspective. I think I’m kinda in the same boat. I think I’m deciding I’d rather do a big event and make that same kind of money rather than have to grind it out every single week. I wish my farmer’s market had a biweekly option because every weekend is just a lot to commit to😅 thank you for this comment and thanks for watching!!
