@Allison Higgins Great idea!

I'm pivoting on the idea of pop up markets. I have my Thursday one at Run Club and I'll stick to that, so I'll have one. On Saturday I went to an Atlanta IRL (in real life) meeting of people in Skool. It was so AWESOME! I made stickers to give out at the event (I'm attaching because they were so darn cute!) and I ended up speaking to 3 or 4 people who are interested in having me make them stickers. So, between the 2 stores where I sell stickers, an event on Saturday, and my Thursday Run Club, that gives me plenty of venues for now! And there will be more IRL meetings coming up.

@Sonja Anderson I'm losing it! I do remember now that you mentioned that. Take tons of photos and share everything with us! You're going to do great! Don't forget to smile, even if you're nervous or discouraged. People will come to you if you make eye contact and smile. I try not to sit until I really need a break. I think it's easier for people to approach your booth if you're standing. @Lisa Graham do you think the vendor is more approachable if you're standing?

@Sonja Anderson Maybe a tall chair won't work for you Sonja. If you're doing a reading you'll want to be on the same level as your client. So a chair behind your table for you, and a chair in front for the client?

Great idea!

@Lisa Graham Initial start - concept, design, printing and then using the machine to make them, and then package them - 5 hours? But once it's designed it's easy. Also cost effective. I print on regular paper, not sticker paper and no laminate, and the backing pin with clear cover run about 10 cents each.

@Lisa Graham Yup!

Everything needs to be crossed off my list!!!! But I wanted to say that one of the benefits of doing markets is meeting other vendors, seeing their displays, exchanging information about markets you may not know about, and some marketing tips. I shared a work station yesterday at the flea market where I sell stickers. We had a spring bazaar. I made coloring stickers for the kids. They could sit with us and color or take home to color with my contact info. My shared space partner sells handmade greeting cards tha come with attachments that you glue on, and also junk journaling stuff, paper and ephemera. She had a few amazing suggestions for me, like selling a group of the coloring stickers with a small crayon pack and advertising to do custom stickers for a kid's birthday, for example. For fun I'm attaching some of the coloring stickers. xoxo

@Lisa Graham That's a very interesting concept! That's almost like a journaling page where you would stick the stickers and fill in the page with art and inspirational quotes! So now you've added one more To Do to my list! But I love it! xoxo
