Hi all! Does anyone have any thoughts or knowledge on doing pop ups? I feel very driven to do one or more a week but I'm not sure if I should approach a coffee shop, boutique, curio type shop.... And I don't want to pay for the space so I would have to convince the property owner that I would help drive traffic to their store. Thoughts?

So, I’ve not created a formal name for my stuff…this is all part of my journey right now but one small thing turned into a bit of a passion…I’m sure you can all relate. These are a few of my most recent creations!

If you’re new here, hiya gorgeous & welcome .. I’m really glad you found us! This community has two main parts: the Classrooms and the Community space. Each one serves a different purpose and together they make this a really useful place to learn and connect. 👉🏼Start with the Classrooms The classrooms are where you’ll find the structured learning. Think of them as a growing library of lessons, guides and practical tools you can use in your craft market journey. Some lessons include worksheets, checklists or simple systems you can download and use right away. You don’t have to go through everything in order. Just start with whatever feels most helpful for you right now. Many members treat the classrooms like a reference library, they can come back to anytime they need support. 👉🏼Join the Community The community section is where we talk about everything craft markets. This is where you can ask questions, share experiences, post photos of your setup or products and learn from other vendors and hosts who are figuring things out just like you. ✨The more people participate, the more helpful the community becomes for everyone. 👉🏼An Easy Way to Start If you’re not sure where to begin, here’s a simple way to get started. First, click on the Classrooms and look through the lessons. Just pick one that looks interesting to you and give it a read. Next, visit the Community area. This is where everyone talks, asks questions, and shares ideas. You can say hello, ask something you’ve been wondering about, or just read what other people are posting. That’s it. You don’t have to do everything right away. Just start with one lesson and one conversation. Over time, you’ll naturally explore more. L. ❤️🙏🏼

🤩A couple of new faces just joined us here in The Craft Market Collective, so let’s give them a warm welcome. Running a craft market business can feel a little lonely sometimes. A lot of vendors are figuring things out on their own… learning through trial and error, wondering if they’re doing things the “right” way. That’s exactly why this community exists. Here you’ll find vendors who understand the ups and downs of markets, people who are happy to share what’s worked for them and a space where you can ask questions without feeling silly. So if you see this post, pop in and say hello. Tell us a little about what you make or sell. And to our newest members, we’re really glad you’re here. This community gets better every time someone new joins the conversation.❤️

Let’s say I handed you $20,000 and said, “Go on vacation. Don’t even think about your business.” 👉🏼No packing bins. 👉🏼No loading the car like Tetris. 👉🏼No wondering if you forgot your tablecloth. Just you, a suitcase, and zero responsibility. Where are you going? And be honest… how long before you start thinking, “I could totally sell at a market here…” 😄
