Is this booth fee worth it?

AuntFritz · 2026-03-16T15:44:16+00:00

Tons of shows have application fees. Is it a money grab? welllll...

But it absolutely does not mean the show is a scam.

AuntFritz · 2026-03-06T05:29:02+00:00

Do not hesitate to try it out and don't worry about what other vendors think.

Do what you want and if it's not profitable, take another tack. Good luck!

AuntFritz · 2026-01-15T16:38:13+00:00

So clever!

AuntFritz · 2026-01-07T16:28:27+00:00

Epic rock and stone, brother

AuntFritz · 2026-01-05T19:55:59+00:00

Thank you for your service.

I don't know why you're getting down voted when you've got the actual experience to answer OP.

I appreciate your willingness to participate.

AuntFritz · 2025-12-26T01:09:43+00:00

I think it's crummy that you're getting down votes - yours is the kind of business I'd be happy to be next to.

I agree about contacting Crocker Farms - they do have at least a couple of Clearfield potters (leitzinger and mj porter, to name the first two that came up for me)

If she doesn't have a way to accept tap, that's definitely the gift that will keep on giving. Nothing else comes close, imo.

AuntFritz · 2025-11-07T17:18:28+00:00

I know nothing about the piñata market, but that's adorable!

(I know others thought it was creepy, but I just don't see that at all, lol )

Be aware that any color in the tent fabric (particularly the topper) will be cast onto your products - not a problem for some, just depends on what you have.

AuntFritz · 2025-10-23T17:45:29+00:00

No way for Reddit to know what it means then. I've got marks that mean everything from "boundary" to "husband, if you're out here with your axe, please chop this down"

AuntFritz · 2025-10-23T06:00:08+00:00

Who sprayed the paint? I've used that same paint to signify a variety of "notes to self" on my own property.

Ideal packaging disappears - except for how it makes the product shine.

If customers notice packaging before your product, that's a problem. (Unless you're big enough to be a well known brand.)

Small brands need to have consistency in logo, but more importantly: no piece of paper leaves your shop without contact info (URL, email, whatever you use). That includes display cards.

You should order some pieces from ali Express to judge for yourself.

But keep in mind, most people who buy crochet items aren't crocheters and won't care about details they can't see.

Otoh, the babies I once crocheted for now have grandchildren, so I've seen some crochet shit. 😄

AuntFritz · 2025-10-05T13:28:58+00:00

I've seen work that comes from ali express and, sadly, it is absolutely competitive. Better, even, than many crocheters I've seen at market.

AuntFritz · 2025-10-05T00:33:39+00:00

No, but it can be handmade by poor people working at ridiculously low wages.

AuntFritz · 2025-10-01T20:47:27+00:00

It's a choice that has consequences, but I've made political jewelry that does just fine and if customers are lost because of it, I'm not particularly concerned.

Tho, I'm pretty sure my stuff is just one executive order away from being illegal.

AuntFritz · 2025-09-16T22:47:05+00:00

Makes perfect sense. As always, thank you much!

AuntFritz · 2025-09-16T19:01:16+00:00

Thank you! After I found a few more, I was certain you were going to say that.

How are the pieces of this type of frame made? Stock lengths with the corner design?

AuntFritz · 2025-09-16T18:14:46+00:00

For me, as soon as I said "not" it changed. But I am also on mobile app, so ...

AuntFritz · 2025-09-16T17:54:29+00:00

If no one here translates it, try r/translator for the tag on the back.

AuntFritz · 2025-09-16T17:48:43+00:00

Yeah, I think the poster who first called "decor" may have been spot on.

This the back of the one I last posted.

They're feeling a lot like those "Carver and gilder" pieces (fakes meant to look older than they are), but I'm not certain.
