I’ve only been a market vendor for the last year and half, but I hadn’t ever experienced something like this and just felt like talking it out and seeing if anyone else had ever experienced anything similar.
There’s definitely a difference between a slow market and feeling like you were set up to have a slow day.
I for sure know that not every event is going to be a home run, but sometimes things like this just stink.
Between the booth fee, the gas, the food…it was an all day event from 10am-7pm…we barely made a profit which was so disappointing considering what the event was advertising for its vendors.
The main thing was that we all paid the same vendor fee no matter our location.
And I spoke with vendors on the street. They all said they had a great day.
I also spoke with some of my booth neighbors and they seemed to have the same experience as me.
Anyway, thanks for listening to me vent and feel free to share any out of pocket experiences you have had😅
