Is it possible to sell hand-crafted items offline at flea markets?

My grandmother likes to create hand crafted candles and soaps and sells her hand crafted items mostly to friends and family. I would like to take some of her candles and soaps and set up a display at the local craft fair or flea market. Do you think this would be a profitable idea?

Yes I do feel that you could make money at it. It just depends on what people are looking for though with the markets that you are at.

You can easily earn with this idea, so long as there are many people coming to that market who are interested in the items you are selling.

Another idea would be to sell the items at a craft fair just before Christmas.

Some sellers earning thousands of dollars from craft fairs.

There's usually a huge local market for hand crafted items. You will have better luck though online at places like Etsy as you can easily customize the items with the customers initials. Well in this situation your grandmother would be able to create the products, though you might list them for her and help make the sales. This would be a good partnership for your family.

Definitely yes, I think it's very much possible for you to make sales in this note. It just depends on if there are actual buyers that would be interested in your item.

Once the price is affordable and favourable, I don't see any reason why you won't make a reasonable amount of sales. Most times, it's price that limit or prevent some items from selling.

So therefore, I would recommend that should your item stay too long online without getting sold, then it's probably the price factor that is holding it back, so you should try and cut down the price and see such item sold without stress.
