WOW! We covered a LOT yesterday! 😁 Before I tell you where to find the replay, I would love to hear from those of you who joined us live yesterday. 👇 What did you think of Day 1? What was your biggest takeaway, something that surprised you, or something you're going to do differently because of what we talked about? Please share in the comments! Your thoughts may also encourage someone who couldn't attend live to go watch the replay. 💜 🎥 Day 1 Replay Is Now in the Classroom! Our theme for Day 1 was MAKE — and we dug into what you need to think about before you ever arrive at a craft show with a table full of products. We talked about things like: 🧶 Choosing what products to make for a show 💰 Looking beyond the price of a ball of yarn to understand what a product actually costs you to make 📊 Thinking about your product mix rather than simply making lots of different things 🎯 Creating products for the customer you're actually trying to attract 🛍️ Why more products don't necessarily mean more sales 💡 Thinking strategically about colours, yarn choices, sizes and variations ⏱️ Considering the time it takes to make something, not just material cost 📦 Planning how much inventory you really need 💵 Beginning to think about whether a product makes sense financially for a craft show And throughout the training, we're looking at craft shows as more than simply: “What can I make and put on a table?” We're learning how to approach them like a business. 🎪💰 📍 Where to Find the Replay Go to: Classroom Tab → VIP Course Area → Vendor Craft Show Training You'll find the Day 1 replay there. And remember, you don't have to have an upcoming craft show booked to benefit from this training. If selling your handmade products is something you'd like to do someday, this is a great opportunity to start learning what goes into doing it successfully. 👑 Want Access to the Training? The complete 3-Day Vendor Craft Show Training and the replays are available to our VIP Members. If you're currently Free or Premium, you can upgrade to VIP and get access to the training, plus the full VIP Pattern Library—including patterns you can use to make physical products to sell—our courses, classes, Knit Alongs, business training, support and more.

Yesterday we talked about MAKE — making the right products, making smart decisions about inventory and beginning to approach craft shows like a business. Today we're moving to the part that can make a HUGE difference in what happens once those products are sitting on your table: 💰 SELL Because making a beautiful product doesn't automatically mean someone is going to buy it. Today we will dig into all aspects of selling including: 🧶How to sell naturally without being pushy or aggressive 💬 How we interact with shoppers without hovering, pressuring them or immediately asking, “Can I help you?” ➡️ Moving someone from “I'm just looking” toward actually picturing themselves owning, wearing, using or gifting your product 🧶 Getting products into people's hands — encouraging them to touch, feel, try on and experience what you've made 📖 Using stories to help sell — your own stories AND stories about how other customers have used or loved a product 💡 Learning that selling isn't necessarily about being a natural “salesperson.” It's about connecting with people, understanding what they're looking for and helping them see the value in what you've created. And we've got LOTS more to cover today! 😁 📅 Want to Join Us LIVE? Today's SELL Training is happening throughout the day. 👉 Go to the Calendar Tab to find today's sessions.
