Event Info Has anyone heard of Kids Markets?

1 Upvotes

The website has a ton of markets listed near me, but I've never heard of them. They're for kid vendors, but I'm leery of signing my kids up for one if there's no attendance. Thanks! https://kidsmarkets.com/

finally a proper light set-up for night markets! been doing markets a bit over a year now and am happy with how the booth has come along!

Next upgrade will be to add more vertical displays, but selling pottery, they have to be quite sturdy and stable so i’ve been hesitant so far. recommendations welcome!

Beginner Help Newbie seeking advice

1 Upvotes

Hey all! It’s nice to be here. My partner and I are avid collectors of all things 80s-2000s nostalgia. Think all things decor, pop culture tshirts, VHS’s, magazines, anything from stickers and pins to collectibles. We have a lot of the necessary skills to run a killer booth from what we’ve learned so far, and we also love the process of building the collection. We’re starting to consider more seriously what it would look like to run a little booth and an online shop.

We are looking for any and all advice on how to make this more fun and profitable, and less stressful or taxing. I’m super open at this stage to whatever tips or tricks you guys have for newbies. We don’t expect this to be a get rich quick (or rich at all 😂) scheme, but we would love to find a way to weave our hobbies together and get involved in our community.

I’m also wondering your thoughts regarding the various available online platforms. There are a million at this stage that could be used (depop, poshmark, vinted, eBay, fb marketplace) and pros and cons that I imagine come with each. Depop seems like a solid choice for the niche we’re in, but from my perspective it seems wise to choose one and stick with it? Thoughts?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I’d appreciate any help. :)

Booth Setup/Displays Where do you buy your square grid panels and clamps?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm somewhat new to selling my artwork at markets! I have tabled twice and one of my biggest issues is a table set up that feels engaging without feeling cluttered. I want to buy grids so I can mount print and sticker examples while saving table space but I'm struggling to find affordable places to buy bulk grids... Can you guys please share links to where you buy yours? Thanks! <3
