Welcome to CraftyPop, your one-stop shop for discovering and navigating local market fairs. CraftyPop was born out of a real need—as a small business owner, I faced the constant challenge of finding reliable and centralized information about market fairs where I could showcase my products. The information was scattered across platforms like Facebook, Eventbrite, Instagram, or buried deep in Google searches, making the process time-consuming and frustrating.
In 2022, I started my embroidery business, Embroiderzilla, and moved from Chicago to Orlando. Trying to find market fairs in Orlando turned out to be an even bigger struggle. The first market fair I signed up for ended up being a bust—there was no foot traffic, and it was held in a warehouse in an industrial area. I had only two customers the entire day. Talking with a couple of other vendors, I found out it was their first time at the location too, and they were equally surprised by the lack of customers and the absence of marketing for the event.
This experience highlighted a critical issue: small business owners like us need accurate and detailed information about market fairs. We’re all working hard to make a living, and attending a poorly planned market fair can make or break a business. We simply don’t have the time or money to waste on events that won’t provide a return on investment.
As a vendor and a frequent attendee of market fairs, I knew there had to be a better way. I wanted a single platform that could not only list all the market fairs in my area but also provide the key details I needed to make informed decisions. Questions like:
These were critical concerns, yet most market fairs didn’t provide clear answers. That’s where the idea for CraftyPop came in. CraftyPop simplifies the experience for vendors and attendees alike. Our platform offers:
