Great video. More tips will be: Visible prices at your products. Make sure your table do not feel empty. Get your helper go in front of your table, from time to time, to pretend to be a buyer when there is no one at your table.
Ohhh those are great tips! Visible pricing is so huge! It makes the buy experience easier since they have to ask less questions! Thank you for tips ❤️❤️
@@vulpipunk yeah I did my first artist allay this year and was extremely underestimating the setup. Gotten so much help from other artists there. Gave me advice about pricing, display and a whole bunch of other stuff. Although my fist event was a fail in sales wise, I have gotten so much advice and experience ot was well worth it.
@@Fairyclaytreats on man the first faikure is tough BUt it is great learning experience. You will only get better each time you table and keep applying the different advice that works for you over time. ❤️
This was such a heartwarming video loved to see all the different artist who kindly participated! It was so nice how you not only showcased their stalls but their online platforms as well! Thanks for another great video, can't wait to see you at one of your own stalls!!
Con organization is SUPER IMPORTANT! Last con we went, Artist Alley was being used as a corridor, people weren't even looking the tables, just passing through and it got extremely crowded and my autistic boyfriend couldn't handle it. He started feeling real bad and we ended up not being able to see all the artists. Sadly. We really wanted to buy more stuff 😂
Thanks for sharing your experiences! I think hallway artist allies are the worst. The artist paid to be there so to be placed where they can hardly be seen is just so unfair. Sucks you were unable to get more from them 😔
I checked the video for the info. I stayed for your personality. A lot of wonderful info AND you clear put aa lot of effort into the quality of your video. As someone who's finally taking the dive into being a full time artist after the business I work for announced it was closing with my bosses retirement, this video was very helpful! And it's nice to see other artists also starting out. I hope one day to see you at a Con. :)
I appreciate you saying that! I am hyped you got some value out of the video. My goal is to share as much of my journey as possible so artist in a similar position can learn from my fails & wins to do even better ❤️🖤
so glad to have come across this video today, a local art center where i live is having its first convention/artist alley in february and a guy who works there reached out to me about the possibility of tabling at the artist alley. i’m flattered and it sounds like an exciting opportunity but i’m also anxious bc i’m still in art school (almost finished tho 🤞🏽😫🤞🏽) so i’ve never done anything like it before, i’m a traditional artist with barely any digital knowledge/skill, most of my work is fanart, and i’m 29 💀
Aye that is excited for the convention opportunity! Just take your time putting everything together, start simple especially since it is a year one event. Since you are a traditional artist you could sell your originals there or make prints of them at a Walgreens or staples of the pieces you have made/make. I recommend FireflyRaye & Mualcaina RUclips channels to get more information about doing an artist alley. Here is a playlist of FireflyRayes as well! ❤️ ruclips.net/p/PLD_qhuABBoKrXlXH_02pxH_FG3bR11h2Y&si=WaESeh8Z0NtuhrA9
Heck yeah good luck on your testing! Be sure to check convention rules for table heights when you do. Some cons/events will have a limit on table heights for safety reasons.
Ohh, this is such a cool idea! Loved the video! Very informative! I've been slowly watching con videos to gather information as I plan to attempt a few in 2024 😊
Thank you so much for watching! I am right there with you in research land. There is so much information out there but not that many from an outsider looking in. If you don't mind me asking what did you find the most interesting or helpful in the video?
@@vulpipunk Most videos will usually say if it was a profitable con or if the staff was good or bad. You went into depth about layouts, the feel of the rooms. Then gave additional information about booths, what the con seemed to gravitate towards, what helps and what makes them stand out, and let them give their personal opinions about what would help new folks. I also loved how you chose newer/smaller artists to showcase 💜 Sorry if my reply is garbly, got a headache right now 🙃
Oh no your answer was not garbled at all! This is really good feedback and helps me out a ton! I know what to keep focusing on so thank you so much for answering! It means a lot 🥹❤️
This was so valuable 😤🙌🏾 great the interviews, I wish i took time to research more instead of spending so much money first go, this showed up on my homepage, i was not expecting the shoutout 🥺💗💗 tysm , its so cool you got to meet Mojo97, her artist alley vlogs helped me a lot, cant wait to see your growth, Florida has a lot of small cons to test the waters
I have been perceived! Thank you for watching! I am hoping to apply for this years wasabi con or holiday matsuri. If not. I will still have my shop launch later this year ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I want to do cons in the future and to hear the POV from someone who buys from the cons really helps a lot. I hadn't thought about how to properly set up a booth and how they could blend with other booths, so that gave a small, 'OH, actually...' moment. :D
Thank you so much for watching! I am glad this video has helped in your research about artist alleys. If you want additional information I recommend @mualcaina channel. I really like her videos covering her convention experience & they recently started doing table reviews so you can get a lot of good info from those videos ❤️
What a helpful and informative video you’ve put together! I appreciate this as I want to try to table at a con in the future (still building up my online presence and Etsy shop first though). Also, you have a really nice voice!
Thank you! I am happy you got some good information out of the video! I am a bit of a research junkie so, figured I could share some of the observations I have found so far about artist allies ❤️
I'm so glad you made this video! I have been waiting on wasabi con registration to open in New Orleans and started to feel skeptical.. So good to see how its going in other places
Woah! I knew wasabi had other locations but not in New Orleans! That is pretty cool. If it is run by the same group who does the Florida WasabiCon. You will be in good hands. Fell free to yell at me if I was wrong.
Sang! Maybe next time around. I know in the past they have allowed artist to share tables. If you have a friend who also sell their work you could split the cost. Still double check with the organizers if they are doing that though 😩
That I am unsure. But that is a great question to add to my interview list! I did not vend at this event but I do plan on applying for next year. So I will much sure to share once I know
I have updated info for you courtesy of @SleepTofuCo ! Artist get a response back from this con around mid August. Since it is held in October they seem to give a month and a half buffer between acceptance and the con itself. Hope this information helps!
my table color palette is a mess lol 😅 my character wears earthy tones while my table uses pastel pinks blues and purples 😅 i gotta change it next time
Interesting combo of colors! Depending on the earthy tones used you could use the pastel blues or maybe a creamy tone for your table to help those colors pop 🤔 Maybe you could find a color pallet using some of your colors and work from there for your table. 🎨

@@vulpipunk thank you 🥺 i’ll def check it out
SO WHOLESOME AND GOOD!!
Thank you so much. Tried really hard to make sure every artist shown got the love they deserve! ❤️
Such a good video, I've been in an artist alley RABBIT HOLE on RUclips lately and I'd love to table at one someday! Lots of great advice here!
Thanks I hope it helps with your future tables!
Building UP! Yes! Gotta get merch at eye level. It's something I gotta work on for myself and I can't wait to test things out in 2024.
Heck yeah good luck on your testing! Be sure to check convention rules for table heights when you do. Some cons/events will have a limit on table heights for safety reasons.
i bought slippers from no thoughts club !! i love them sm
Oh snap I didn't know they did slippers as well! My friend got a really cute hoodie from them. It has bunny ears and a secret pocket in the sleeve 👀

I cant tell if registration is open or not, but they released the table prices. Sadly its to expensive for me so i wont be attending@@vulpipunk
