Quick vendor poll for today:
⭐There are plenty of things to think about before a craft market, and somehow the list always grows when you start getting closer to the date. Some jobs get handled early because they feel urgent. Others get pushed down the list because they are easy to put off, until suddenly it is the night before the market and you are trying to do five things at once. So, I’m curious... 👉🏼When you’re getting ready for a craft market, which part do you tend to leave until the very last minute? (There’s no judgement here. Every vendor has that one thing that somehow becomes a “future me can handle it” job.)

Supplies & Materials
📦 Let's Talk Storage! 📦 Every vendor seems to have their own system when it comes to storing supplies, stock, display pieces, packaging, tools and all the other bits and pieces that somehow come along with running a handmade business. 👉🏼Some people have dedicated craft rooms. 👉🏼Some have shelves, bins, and label makers working overtime. 👉🏼And some of us may or may not have supplies quietly taking over spare bedrooms, closets and corners of the house. 😅 So I'm curious... Poll: Where do you keep most of your craft business supplies? And once you've voted... Do you have a storage system that works really well? Any organisation tips, storage hacks or lessons learned you'd recommend to other vendors? Feel free to share photos too. I always enjoy seeing how different people organise their businesses. 👇 Vote in the poll, then tell us more in the comments! 📦✨

@Lisa Graham same here,
One thing I notice as a market host...
The vendors who seem the most confident aren't usually the ones with the biggest displays, the fanciest products or the busiest booths. They're often the vendors who show up prepared. 👉🏼They know where they're setting up. 👉🏼They've packed what they need. 👉🏼They've thought through their pricing. 👉🏼They aren't scrambling to solve ten problems before the doors open. Confidence often comes from preparation. What's one thing you've learned to do before a market that makes your day run smoother? I'd love to hear it. 👇

Do a mock set up at home, take a picture of it to refer to, try to pack your items in bins according to your set up, like this bin is for items on the left side of the table, this bin is for the right side of table
