hello hope ure doing well!!! wanted to ask if u have any tips on selling art at art markets? i know the basics but i was wondering if there are any secret tips, also does fanart of more less known fandoms (a3 for example) sell well? (from your experience obv or if you've heard anything from other artists) tysm!! :D

hii Im fine, hope you're doing ok as well! it's a bit hard to answer since I just finished my 3rd art market ever and I'm still figuring out everything (from small things like what items to bring, how to pack/transfer my merch, table layout etc, to bigger things like manufacturers, how much merch to print/bring etc), and if there are any secret tips for sales - I'd gladly like to know them myself sjxnwkcj, and as for fandoms, it really depends on what's popular where you live! for example I thought frieren would be more popular here since I see it online (on twt) a lot, while here a lot of people told me I'm the only one selling frieren merch, and they themselves were expecting it to be more popular? and same would go with a3, somewhere it's a bit more well known, here it's not known at all I'd say? of course there are fans, but when you go into an art market, chances of meeting an a3 fan are almost nonexistent, and a lot of people come up to the table and ask what fandom it is or if those are ocs (but it seems to be a bit of a better case with mhyk) it's a bit discouraging to table with non popular fandom merch, but I still do it bc I'm obsessed with said fandom 😤 sorry if it's no help at all, I'm a newbie myself 😖
