9 | Suitcases, Stories, and Sales: The Art of Organizing a Unique Craft Market

What if your love for handmade goods could spark a community event that sellers and shoppers talk about long after the doors close?

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my own journey organizing unique “sell-out-of-a-suitcase” style craft markets where creativity, community, and even cinnamon rolls all came together.

You’ll learn:

• How to crunch the numbers so your market is profitable and affordable for sellers.

• Why location and atmosphere matter more than you think (and how to get both right).

• Smart marketing strategies to attract both vendors and visitors.

• Special touches that turn a craft fair into a memorable experience — from pop-up cafés to raffles and kids’ corners.

• Extra value you can add for sellers, both for serving and for profit. 

Whether you’re a crafter dreaming of hosting your own market or just curious how these creative gatherings come to life, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical tips.

🎧 Tune in now and get ready to bring your own market vision to life!
