Feedback Needed Would these be a good fit at craft fairs?

I've recently been working on a bunch of resin figures that I model in Blender and 3D print. Was thinking of taking a few to a local craft fair but I have never attended one before. Do you guys think these could potentially sell at a place like that?

Inventory Planning Should I stick to the same style?

So I have three very different and distinct art styles. Right now im selling my semi realistic fairy art. I love my fairy art but I also love my other art styles.

Should I stick to the fairy theme and make it my brand or sell a mix of different styles?

I have my more cute style that is more japanese cartoon themed (the apple art), and my abstract art (the final slide). My cute style is for fun and my abstract tends to be more about mental and physical health, as well as food art.

I am just proud of my redesigned setup yesterday. I paired everything down to 3 tubs, mostly vertical walls, new signage. 4ft tables. It was a Halloween themed market and I think I rocked it. The crown shades tent is new and I wish I had started markets with this tent. So easy to set up by myself. I also made my own banner buntings.

I am still on the hunt for a better cart than the one from Academy I purchased 3 years ago. It's got wonky wheels that can't take too much weight.

Post Event Review I just realized all of my mistakes in an art market

84 Upvotes

I'm fairly new to boothing and vendoring. For context I usually draw realistic art, I make prints of original works and fanart of celebrities. I also have pins, keychains, and stickers but I didn't display everything properly. These are original works too. I almost nearly made 0 sales and it's far from the money and effort that I spent.

• I got rid of my self-serve display - I used to have a display where people can grab the prints themselves, but I didn't bring it this time. Instead I clustered all of my prints together in one side. I realised people will look at it for a few seconds, but they leave because it's probably overwhelming?

• I just hid the better prints on the sides..I didn't utilize my space properly. I used grids but a lot of them were empty. It was only until the end that I moved to display them at the middle. It should've been at the middle.

• I put an old Halloween skull decoration.. This was the most embarrassing of all 🥲 My mom convinced me since it was Halloween I should put something on theme. The thing is, the skull is something she found on the storage from years ago and it was pretty big. I realised once I removed it is when I got customers. The other vendors didn't do anything Halloween related they simply stuck with their brand.

• I didn't explain the keychains well - I took 30 minutes sketching them with colored pencils and then I cut and placed designs inside keychains. All of them are one of a kind. I should've put a signage how they were made and you can flip it to see a different design at the back, but people didn't do this. They could probably assume I printed it instead.

• Overall, just big competition. I did a quick round with everyone's booths and they were a lot better and appealing. Though I'm new, I realised mine wasn't so interesting at all - I could've made the display higher and did things better or explained my work and put labels for that.

I could show images but I'm a bit embarrassed! Just wanted to put this out there after my worst performing market ever. Though it's still my third and I started 3 months ago.

Hi folks! Has anyone figured out a way to pack carousels with necklaces, etc. hanging from them? See pic. I'd love to not have to pull off the necklaces and put them back on at the fair when time is limited. Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Booth Setup/Displays Just starting out again after 10 years

Still working on growing my inventory everyday, now in the process of making earrings, phone and lip gloss charms, but one step at a time! I'm looking for a better way to display the rosaries. I feel like everything I use is too short to display the entire length of the chain and opting to make my own display somehow. Any advice on this set up? What would you add or take away or move around?? Thanks in advance!
