3 things you should never do at a market as a vendor - if you want to make money โฆ
1. Sit Down:
You should primarily stand to appear more engaging, approachable, and confident to customers, which can boost sales and interactions.
2. Scroll on your phone:
Stay present and show courtesy to vendors and other shoppers by not being distracted or rude during interactions like paying or asking questions.
3. Look unhappy (grumpy):
This can be off-putting shoppers, making them less likely to engage or shop with you.
So stand up, stay off your phone and greet shoppers with a smile as they visit your booth:

โจ We think vendors tell the story of Craftadian best ๐ค
โBeing a part of Craftadian has meant a lot to me. As a small maker, spaces like this give me the chance to share my work with people who truly see and value handmade pieces.
Every event feels warm and welcoming, and the support from both the team and the community is something Iโm really grateful for. Itโs not just about sellingโitโs about connecting, learning, and growing with others who care about what they create.
I feel thankful every time I get to be a part of Craftadian.โ

Say hello to Bridget, the creative behind ๐ค
From her home studio in Campbellville, Ontario, Bridget designs and handcrafts functional yet stylish cork fabric bags in small batches โ each one thoughtfully made with care, creativity, and purpose.
What we love most? Her passion not only for creating beautiful products, but for supporting the handmade and small business community too โจ
Every stitch tells a story โ and thatโs the magic of shopping handmade.
