    Hi!! I was at ALA for the third day and I LOVED your booth! I made the dumb decision to come back to your booth before I bought anything (my friend was begging me to play Pokémon Go with him), so I couldn't remember the name of your booth 🤡 I hope to see you at ALA next year or at any other incoming conventions!!

    i feel like tote bags also sell well cause people end up with more to carry than expected so it feels like a very practical purchase

    • @drawnbyivy
      @drawnbyivy  5 місяців тому +1

      i agree! people have definitely bought tote bags from me and immediately use them to carry their stuff around during the con 🙌

    when i did ALA in 23, it kinda felt like the hall was just too big for the amount of attendees, so money was just overall spread thin. even my friends that normally do very well at cons like AX and fanime, did terrible at ALA. though! i hear they are reducing the number of tables or have done so already this year, which makes me wanna apply again lol. because besides sales being hard to land, the con itself was fun and easy to set up in, so i would love to come back in hopes to earn more this time around XD

    • @drawnbyivy

      I personally did great at ALA both in 23 and 24 (but I know that my ALA experience tends to be an outlier amongst AA artists) I would encourage you to give it another shot (and maybe split a table if you want to be safe investment wise? prettyyy sure they allow table sharing but don't quote me on that 😅) But I do love ALA simply because it's such a fun con w/ the cosplay and ribbon culture there! Definitely plan on coming back next year ᵕ̈

      thank you!! 💕 solo vending can definitely be super stressful and overwhelming but like with anything, it becomes easier overtime! i'm definitely less stressed vending solo now compared to the first few times i did it!! 😤 i just tend to be vERY tired afterwards tho 😪

    Love the setup! How did you stand up the keychain board off of the end of the table like that??

      I attached a mini easel to the back of the board with velcro! it's a bit unsteady tho tbh so i've since switched to an iPad stand ᵕ̈

    I saw a vlog where the artist just sold $1 stickers?! 😮 just wondering how that went with y’all - I follow several of your friends 😊

    • @drawnbyivy
      @drawnbyivy  7 місяців тому +1

      Every artist prices their products differently but my price point is to ensure a decent profit margin for myself (gotta pay the bills somehow 🤧) I outsource my stickers to ensure the best possible quality for customers so selling them at $1 is just not feasible for me personally. I would be making nothing 😭 thankfully, most people shopping at artist alley understand they’re shopping with small business so i still have many people buying my stickers to support my art! 🥹

    • @drawnbyivy
      @drawnbyivy  8 місяців тому +3

      I got them from Marco promos (most vendors get their ribbons from here ᵕ̈ ) if you can find other artists to order with, i would recommend doing a group order so you can save some money as well! 😤

    So just imagine how it is for people that go to work every single day and work 9 hour shifts for somebody who doesn't acknowledge them at all, at least you're doing this for yourself. We work for people every day that don't appreciate us. We go home with their baggage on top of our own trying to figure out how to maneuver through life. You spend 9 hours making your own money. Doing when your own things be grateful
