Trying to find *profitable vendor events, craft fairs, farmers markets, and shows to sell at?* In Market Monday Part 1, we're finally breaking down exactly how we find events for our 3D printing business — and how we decide which ones might actually be worth our time.
This has been one of the MOST requested Market Monday topics, so we're showing you our real process for **finding vendor events**, researching markets, deciding where to apply, and avoiding events that might not be a good fit for our business.
And there's someone I couldn't make this video without... ❤️
I'm finally properly introducing my wife! She's always been a huge part of the business behind the scenes, but she's also the person who has taken charge of finding, researching, scheduling, and keeping track of our events. She's been my rock throughout this entire journey, so for this one, she deserves to be in front of the camera explaining the process with me.
If you're trying to **make money with 3D printing**, sell 3D printed products at markets, start a vendor business, sell at craft fairs, or turn your maker hobby into a real small business, choosing the RIGHT events can make a massive difference.
A great product and an amazing booth don't mean much if you're selling to the wrong crowd.
In **Part 1**, we're breaking down how we FIND potential events and what goes into our booking process. Stay tuned for **Part 2**, where we'll continue digging into our strategy and everything we've learned from actually vending at these events.
💬 QUESTION: How do YOU currently find events to sell at? And what's the biggest thing you struggle with when deciding whether an event is worth booking?
