In this market prep video, I’m doing a full inventory count the day before an outdoor market at a brand new venue (10x10 space, $30 vendor fee—honestly amazing for my area). I walk you through exactly how I keep my crochet small business organized using a Google Sheet with item names, prices, goals, and totals, and then I physically count everything to make sure my numbers are accurate (because things definitely slip through the cracks). While I count, I’m also packing my plushies into my Amazon tote bags based on how I set up my tables and shelves so setup goes faster and I make fewer trips. I share what I’m bringing, what’s been selling, what’s not worth restocking, and the patterns/prices for a ton of my plushies—like my mini octos (my #1 bestseller), chicks with frog hats, loaf cats, keychains, frogs, triceratops, whales, and bigger statement pieces like the dragon snuggler and jumbo jellyfish. I also talk about little booth details like when I individually price items, why I include choking hazard warnings, and how I handle seasonal inventory (yes, Halloween items can sell year-round). If you’re prepping for your own market, this is basically my real-life checklist of what to stock, how I price, and how I stay organized.
