To make the most of fall craft season, focus on efficiency and presentation. Batch-produce items so you can keep costs down while maintaining enough stock for busy market days. Always price for profit, factoring in both your material and time costs, and don’t be afraid to raise prices on premium-looking items. Create displays that are visually appealing and photo-ready to draw in customers, whether at in-person events or online. Use bundles and mix-and-match deals to increase order sizes, and start promoting your products early on social media so buyers are ready before the season peaks.
