Correction: 00:19:00 The original and fanart sales % are incorrectly flipped (this is what happens when you edit a video past midnight) Oh well, let me just put on my clown makeup now... 🤡
Thanks for the vlog again! It is heartening to see your original art do so well this round! Indeed no doubt it is likely from your increased variety of merchandise types using your original art. I think stationery with original art seems to appeal particularly well to normies who want to buy something functional while original. Also the stamp rally is a big help, it adds a "fun fair" / "carnival" element to shopping at this event. I also think the venue (it being a shopping mall, even though not the most well-known) also helped a lot in catching normies' attention towards original food art. My friend and I wanted to booth at this one but we weren't accepted unfortunately :( Applied too late. Again, thank you so much for your vlogs, you're doing God's work in the local boothing scene!
Thank you Jemi! How was your ACE experience, I recalled you that you and your friend ran a table there. Hope it was all good? I also mistakenly flipped my sales for fanart and original in this video 🤡 - as I was a little confused why you said my original sales were great this time. But if I don't look at the percentage, the actual sales were still good!
Thanks for sharing your experience! My daughter also had a table there and she was captured in the video 😁. This was her second experience at boothing and her first was with doujinfes too, at Safra Tampines. It was okay the first time so she wasn’t expecting much this time. Just was hoping to get more followers and hoping her new merchandise will gain more interests. Boy, was she wrong. The crowd was fantastic and she was pretty busy throughout. Never seen her so happy before. She said this to me after the 2 days - the money is good but hearing people said how nice her art is, is even better. That is the validation she’s always wanted. Thank you to Doujinfes for giving small artists like her a chance. And thank you to you for giving us insight to the event.
Thank you for sharing with me your daughter's experience too! I may not know who she is, but if she will be at the next Doujinfes too, she can come by and say hi as I will be there as well! I am glad she met many friendly and nice people during the last event. 👍 Really goes a long way for us small time creators and artists whenever we get positive affirmation on our work!
@@kuehmerlion Yes she will be at the next DoujinFes too and I'll tell her to say Hi! She was at C42 at Leisure Park Kallang @Furikak.3. Thanks for the mention in the video :) Yes, she met lots of nice artists there and I'm so happy she's in a wonderful community. And yes indeed, it's the positive affirmation that keeps small time artists going. All the best and see you at the next DoujinFes!
Nice video as always! Thanks for the sharing. Happy that you made some good sales. As for myself, after the event I will try to ignore the printing cost and think like it doesn't exist to make myself feel better 🤣
I forgot if I mentioned it in this video, but I am actually still in the red overall when it comes to printing cost vs sales. If I can continue to maintain or improve on my sales margin, then I should finally be able to break even in the next 2-3 events, from that current negative cost that I have incurred over the past 2 years, finally... *sweat* So don't feel bad about it too much! We can do it~
I can see my back view in the video lol. I didn’t get to walk around much because I was feeling so sick for both days so I just hid behind my booth the whole time.
A fellow creator, hello!! Oh no... I hope you still had an overall good experience at the event, despite feeling unwell. I didn't get much opportunity to talk to other creators too so if you are future events, see you there perhaps!
Mom look its me im in a vlog!! 10:46 thanks for the shoutout!! Doujinfes was indeed a great event tho! A lot of people specifically came down for doujinfes itself, and apparently there were a good number of people who returned on day 2 as well because they had so much fun on day 1. We boothed at ACE as well and will be going to hanami this weekend so we are gonna get to compare all of them lol- honestly doujinfes was better than ACE on every front lmao, and we recognized a good number of our ACE customers that came down for doujinfes too.
Sorry for the unfocused video footage. Your Doujinfes neighbour opposite of you (Jiraffe) suggests I go get a gimbo to help with filming next time 😂😂 I promise I will spend more time browsing artist tables and not hurry through. It is quite disheartening to hear that ACE didn't do nearly as well. But, I am very confident Hanami Market will be a success - the previous years seemed really popular and super-packed whenever I visited. ...Now I am curious how the experience will be for you between Doujinfes and Hanami Mkt. PS: your sushi tote bag always catches my attn whenever I see it 🧡)!
Appreciate the honesty about the events and also ur earnings and cost! Im also a Singapore artist that go by the name of Makrows, and its a big help with the insight to Doujinfes event as a whole, I was worried about boothing twice in a row cause I was going for ACE002, now that I see ur vlog, it feels that I should have went for Doujinfes as well!! Hope to see you in upcoming cons!
Thank you, Makrows! I just checked out your IG and really fantastic art you got. Yeah, my partner and I were also worried about boothing two weekends in a row, so we ended up picking Doujinfes over ACE. But as it turns out, there were quite a few creators that went for both, so if your schedule is free to accommodate the events, it isn't a bad idea to just go for both. See ya whenever the next event will be - I will know to keep a look out!
