Thank you for addressing how stressful markets can be, and wind at a market is 10 x worse! When it’s windy, I often feel close to tears because there’s nothing you can do about it and your products are just flying everywhere… and yes, customers just ignore it! Also, dream partnership with Munbyn! 🎉
Omg so glad you understand!!! Sometimes I feel like I’m being overly dramatic when I’m telling these stories but if you haven’t experienced it for urself then you really don’t know 😫😫😫 definitely gives you such panic because there’s nothing you can do! Thanks for the comment and support lovely ♥️
Jessica you are sooooo sweet!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 im do glad you're enjoying the videos and it makes me happy to know they are keeping you company while you work! all the best lovely!
Aw, I'm sorry you've been having a bad time with the weather! I can definitely understand feeling flustered and embarrassed when things fall over and you're trying to do everything at once and save face, it seems like it would be really stressful. I wish people would help instead of standing there and staring! I saw you at the Violet Town Market and I bought the cutest bracelet from you, and you put it on for me which I thought was super sweet
Awww thank you so much lovely!! That's so sweet that you bought from me at violet town!! ❤️❤️❤️ make sure you say hi next time!! Definitely praying for better weather in the coming months!!
You didn't give up - you made a wise decision. I also can't understand how anyone could watch someone struggling with a situation like that and not help pick things up and help. I absolutely love your sticker idea, too. :)
Thank you so much Tracy, that makes me feel a little better! ❤️ Honestly I can't either - I find that when things like that happen customers either make the situation worse by pointing it out or screaming or something or - they carry on shopping as if nothing happened which baffles me... I actually had to ask a customer to excuse me so I could get to my display that had just fallen so I could fix it - she just kept touching it and shopping as in nothing happened 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ So glad you liked the sticker idea!! It was so useful instead of having to buy brand new business cards!
Also now that I've finished watching the video. You are a business owner, your stall is your space, you are the master of that space. If something other than a customer needs your attention, that is your prerogative. And while customers might be oblivious or rude, it is a matter of self-advocacy to simply say, "Please would you mind waiting a moment while I fix this, so my product doesn't get damaged or blow away."
Haha yes absolutely ideally that would be the case but at least in my experience that has not worked 😅 when something unexpected happens people just freeze and they don’t have the quick thinking and awareness that we do, so it’s not as easy to navigate as just telling them to wait
I admit I get judgy of people who leave markets early because in general, it makes the market and other vendors look bad. HOWEVER, if my displays BROKE because of the wind? I would be packing up and leaving too, trying not to cry. Your reasons are valid and while you don't have to explain to anyone, I know the other vendors would understand if you did.
Eva, I really appreciate your honesty!! I totally respect that we shouldn't pack up before the time for any reason other than weather, and I think having this issue so much this month really took a toll on why mental health and I was more anxious than I probably should have been for that situation but im glad you would have done the same, haha makes me feel a little better! I completely agree, I think I just got so much in my head about it and felt like everyone was judging me when they probably weren't!
Not sure if you already do this but if you have any metal tent guide rope pegs you could use them to pin down any floor displays, they might not go all the way over the feet on the display but if you have enough you can put a few on each display foot? Also for the table displays if they have feet on them I got some table clamps off Amazon or most diy shops will have them, just get the tougher ones as the smaller ones are no good. My biggest worry about doing my craft fairs was the wind and so far I’ve not had any problems using pegs and clamps😊 ps love your vlogs your ideas with the munbyn have now given me some ideas so have put the printer on my wish list ❤
This is why I had to invest in tent walls. I’ve experienced several crashes because of the wind. It wasn’t fun picking up my products over and over again. Sorry that happened to you.
Oh gosh sorry you've experienced that as well! I definitely have tent walls but with the gusts we've been experiencing unfortunately they become like sails and make it even worse 😭
As a fellow doer of outdoor markets I agree with Vitoria. With stronger windspeeds tent sides do make matters worse and increase the chance of the whole canopy going airborne. Also, when it is very windy it is very difficult to take down a canopy safely by oneself. @lazy_daisycreations
@@lazy_daisycreations We experienced “sails” at my last event🤣, which was awful. The tent walls started knocking my displays down and became like parachutes. We eventually took the whole canopy down and laid my earrings on the table. I hated that because it was giving garage a garage sale vibe lol. I hope we have better luck this weekend.
I live in the US and I love seeing all your markets! You must live in a beautiful area, the scenery you show is just gorgeous! Glad you are back! And also, it amazes me sometimes how oblivious people can be. If I witnessed a vendor at a market struggling with the wind and having a hard time I wouldn't just stand there and be annoyed, I can't believe no one even stopped to help. Hope you have less wind at your future markets!
Thank you so much for the support lovely! its great to be back with regular videos for you guys ❤️ I definitely do, it amazes me how beautiful some areas around here are 🥰 Oh gosh yeah I could tell you some stories about oblivious customers you wouldn't believe 😱 I honestly dont understand what goes on in peoples minds sometimes... Thank you lovely, me too! I have 2 indoor markets coming up so should be a nice little break! All the best!!
Trying to think practically, have you tried tying your freestanding stands to your table legs? Or added some little heavy bags/weights to tabletop stands? Could be a DIY project/tip for the channel ❤
Such a good idea!! Seems silly but I’ve never had to deal with winds like this before so never had to think about it 😵💫 but the past few I’ve been doing a lot of makeshift things like that 😂😂 might have to invest in some more long term solutions tho!
@@lazy_daisycreations The weather can be so annoying. If it’s not affecting the footfall, it’s affecting stock and mood. Fingers crossed for settled weather for you ☺️
Vending life be like that! I would suggest getting easels that are adjustable and have clamps to keep everything in place. Get like 5 pound weights or sandbags to tie on the back of displays. Try to keep stuff that always falls over closer to where you are so that if it falls you can fix it without walking away from your spot. Use zip ties or just tie string or twine to your tent legs or structure to keep bigger displays from going over. There are a ton of small solutions to the wind that will keep everything organized and standing up. Vending is all about adapting to changes and just rolling with them. You can do it!! 😊
I’m so sorry you have the problems with the weather and the wind. I never considered the weather could be as much an issue for you as it is in the UK. I’m glad the markets/fairs I do are mainly inside. (I did one outdoor and the wind was an issue for me too) I love your printer, I’ll have to see if it’s available in the UK. Xx
Thank you Samantha 🫶 It definitely has happened before but not to this extent and not for a whole month 😳 wind has never been a huge issue I needed to consider in my 4 years of doing markets... Definitely glad for some indoor markets this week 😅 So glad you liked the printer!! yes it definitely is, if not from their website then definitely from amazon, all the links are in the description and dont forget to use my discount code 😘
Hi Victoria, hun hasnt our weather been crazy lately? i am almost all the way through your video 🙂 but am just pausing to write my thoughts on the youtube promo thing, what is stopping people from unsubscribing from your channel after they leave your booth with their free earrings? loving the vlog as always (hugs) Diana xx P.S i love the printer,i think i should invest in one of those 🙂
Hi Diana!! 🥰🥰 OMG insanely crazy!! this whole month its been non stop windy 😭 Thanks for your thoughts lovely! Oh absolutely that can happen, and that's always a risk we have to take with any kind of marketing (eg. signing up to a website newsletter just to get the 10% off discount - we've all done it 😂) but most people who come up are usually genuinely interested and want to follow me! I think I mentioned that I did something similar when growing my instagram and it definitely worked! ❤️ Everything in business is risky right 😅 So glad you liked the vlog and the printer!! ive been using it so much, I definitely thing you would get lots of use out of it! especially when you think outside the box of what it can be used for! Lots of love!
I know exactly how you feel. I also did a market on father’s day in NSW and the wind was horrific. I spent of the day running around trying to keep my stock from flying away!! I was exhausted by the end of it 😂. I’ve always wanted a Munby printer 🖨️ . Great video once again. You have given me some great ideas.
Hi Melissa! Girl im so sorry you experienced that too!! I think you definitely dont really know or understand the stress until you've been in that exact position, its hard for people to understand why its so stressful 😭 Ahh so glad you liked the video and the printer ideas!! let me know how you go ❤️❤️
OMG... SOoo Sorry!! 😢 IT Isn't Worth It To Struggle With Anything Like THAT...Wind Or Otherwise!! Crazy Too How Indifferent People Can Be. TRUE...No Need To Explain To Anyone!! Hang In There 💪 and Put Your Emotional Raincoat On! Your Items Aren't Large and Therefore They're More Vulnerable To WIND 🍃...Just Take Care Of Yourself ❣️ 🏞️ Drive SAFE...
Thank you so much for understanding Ann, makes me feel a little better ❤️ definitely taken a toll on me this month, haven’t been able to catch a break with this weather but yeah unfortunately I don’t have a choice and need to attend the markets anyway but yeah this month was extra hard!
Super cute stickers!!! Love seeing you back on YT 🌻🌻😀😀
So glad you liked them 🥰🥰🥰 so good to be back!!

Keep pushing through mentally, eventually you will find a way to manage it and those winds wont hold you back!!
Thank you lovely!! I will keep trying 😂😂

I only do indoor markets for this very reason. It’s just so much easier 🌸
it really is!! I wish I had more indoor markets near me!!
Awesome Idea!!! 💪💓
Glad you thought so!! 🥰🥰 Thanks for the support!
Love the video ❤❤❤ you really inspired me to find new ways to grow my social media. Thanks.
Aww that makes me so happy to hear 🥰🥰🥰 thanks so much for the support lovely and hope all goes well for you!
Best Wishes For This Market 🤩
