Packing up a wholesale order with me🥝📦

This order needed swing tags, which is a little different from the reusable stitch marker price tags I normally use at markets.

Instead of buying new tags, I used what I already had at home: some watercolour paper cut into little squares, a corner punch to give them a nicer finish, and some cord to attach them to each plushie. ✂️

I added my logo on one side, then the product code and retail price on the other, as required for the order.

Simple, inexpensive, and I love that I could make them with supplies I already had. 🤍

Then it was just a matter of lining the box with tissue paper, packing my little flock in… and they’re ready to go! 🥹🥝

A little market idea that worked better than I expected 🎡✨

I wanted a simple way to encourage customers to connect with Duchi Crochet, so I put a QR code at my stall for them to follow my socials, with an email sign-up sheet right beside it.

Follow + leave an email = one spin of the wheel! 🎡

I’ll admit, before trying this I wasn’t sure how willing people would be to stop, follow AND leave their email 😅 But I was pleasantly surprised! A lot of customers were happy to join in, and the wheel made the whole thing feel much more fun and interactive.

After trying it at a few markets and making a few tweaks along the way, these are the 8 spots I’ve settled on:

🎡 1 × Extra spin
💰 3 × $1 off any purchase
💰 2 × $2 off purchases over $20
💰 1 × $3 off purchases over $30
🎁 1 × Free sticker

That makes 8 spots altogether!

One thing I’ve learned though: when the market gets REALLY busy, collecting emails can slow things down. On those days, I sometimes simplify it and just ask customers to follow before they spin.

It’s a small addition to my market setup, but so far it’s been a really fun way to connect with customers, and I’ll definitely keep tweaking it as I go. 💕🎡

Maybe an idea to try at your next market too!

A little price tag hack for my fellow crochet vendors 🧶🏷️

I use stitch markers + kraft paper tags for pricing my plushies. Simple, quick and reusable!

I keep tags with my usual prices ready to go, clip them straight onto my plushies, then take them off when something sells and pop them back into the box.

Next time I make a plushie at the same price, the tag is ready to use again! ♻️✨

No need to keep making new price tags every time 🙌

Let’s talk numbers! 💰🧶

Here’s exactly how my 6-hour market went:

Hour 1: $83
Hour 2: $60
Hour 3: $160 🔥
Hour 4: $173 🤯
Hour 5: $80
Hour 6: $116

✨ TOTAL: $672 ✨

It started pretty slow, then suddenly picked up in the middle of the day and finished really well!

I’m sharing this because market days can be SO unpredictable. A quiet hour doesn’t mean it’s going to be a bad day, sometimes you just have to hang in there. 🥹

To all my fellow crochet vendors: keep showing up. Your day will come! 🧶💕

I’m still buzzing from what an AMAZING day this turned out to be! 🥰

Cute crochet patterns I found in library books 🥹📚🧶
Technically… free patterns for me 😍

🐥 Big Chick — pattern by Lana Choi
🐷 Chubby Pig — by / Sarah Sloyer, from Zoomigurumi 6
👶 Newborn Baby — by ERINNA LEE / Erinna Lee, from Amigurumi Friends & Celebrations

There’s something so satisfying about finding a cute pattern in a library book and turning it into your own little plushie 🥰
