Dos and Don'ts - HUGE lessons I've learned in my first few maker markets

If you're on the fence about doing vendor markets, or you worry that you need to have it all figured out right away, this video is for you. It's been a steep learning curve, but it's all been worth it.

I break everything down in this video.

From my biggest mistakes to some of my small triumphs.

Now, let me set the stage: I'm new to all this and I haven't nailed it yet. I've only done one more marketing since filming this and it was, honestly, my worst on for sales 😆 But, as always, I learned something from that. Since I don't share it in this video let me share this new lesson here...

Local mall markets might not be the best place for beachy art and jewelry. I wasn't the only art-based vendor to have a hard time selling at this mall venue and it occurs to me - I'm best in a touristy location.

Anyway, let's dive in to my biggest lessons from my first few markets.
