Hey everyone

I am looking for booth/display advice from people who do craft fairs or markets.

Last month I took about 20 handmade piñatas (large and small) to my first market. I only sold 2 small ones, BUT I did get a couple people interested in future custom orders, which is honestly what I’m hoping to grow most. I genuinely love making them. it has become a therapeutic/ creative outlet for me... So I’m trying to figure out how to make my booth more inviting and memorable instead of just looking like “party store decorations hanging in a tent"

For next month I’m thinking about adding small $10 pre-filled “Stress Smashers” .. goofy little piñatas meant to be destroyed for stress relief.

Ideas so far:

gas pump

angry bill/envelope

alarm clock

work email/message icon

My bigger goal though is getting people to stop, talk, and realize I can make custom stuff for birthdays, graduations, weddings, breakups,parties, etc.

So I wanted to ask:

What would make you walk over to a piñata booth?

What kind of display/setup catches your attention?

Would live demo pieces, funny signs, pricing boards, or photos of customs help?

What kinds of piñatas would make you curious enough to pick one up?

I’d really appreciate any honest ideas from experienced vendors or shoppers. I’m still learning and trying to find my lane.
