Selling at craft shows, markets and pop-ups is hard, I don't deny that for a second. Planning your set up prior to the event date, prepping not only your product to sell but the displays to place your product for sale, decor to make your vending area (be it tent, table or booth) is a pleasant experience for the customer is no easy task. You have the packing it all up, waking up at the crack of dawn, hauling it all to site, setting up, working the sale, breaking down the displays, packing it all back up and hauling it all back home. It's exhausting!
But ya know what, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Several times throughout the day I have to remind myself, tomorrow I get to rest. Tomorrow my feet won't ache, I can sleep late. I love the time I get to spend with customers and other venders so it makes it all worth it.
