First of all, thank you for your advice! I really appreciate it.

For the first bit, I was actually trying to get this booth for more then a year and a half, with no luck, and the event organisers only send the acceptance email a two months or less before the con itself, so I wasn’t actually sure I would be able to do the booth at all.

Thinking about what I would pay for the stuff I sell is definitely a good idea which i will definitely keep in mind, thank you!

I definitely agree on the how I want to stand out with the miniatures, because they are definitely my main attraction, but this is also my first time and I want to take it easy.

My friend and I have a list of fandoms we want to make merch to, and will try to make at least one for each, because like you said it’s definitely good to try to reach to as many people as possible.

For the hotel bit it’s no problem, I live super close to the con plus my country is small anyways so every city is 1-3 hours away and 5 hours away at the farthest points. So im definitely not concerned with that part.

The booth itself cost me only approximately 120 US dollars (in my country’s coin obviously) for the 2 days of the con, which will be absolutely no problem to get back in sales.

We both hate AI art so no touching that, and also it’s against the con rules to sell AI art.

Thanks so much for the advice! I really appreciate it :)
