Urban Craft Uprising Winter Show

You guys are the best! It is the best curated craft show around, and everyone in Seattle knows it. We had great sales and a lot of fun with the customers and other vendors. Thanks again for all your hard work and we can’t wait until the winter show!!!  

[My favorite part of the weekend was] seeing previous customers still using my purses and telling me how much they love them

I 4X’ed the amount I’ve brought to my best show ever for this. That show was a two day show so I thought I’d be more than good with inventory. People went wild and I sold out of a few varieties every day and had to make more at night. Which is insane. The sales were just that incredible.

I thought this year’s show was great. There seemed to be a lot of new vendors that I haven’t seen anywhere else before. I could have bought a year’s worth of bday and holiday presents for all my friends and family but then I’d be broke so I only shopped for myself :))

Just thank you. I hope you know how much you are appreciated. And how much the hard work and love you put into this has completely changed me and my tiny business. Your shows have made a record breaking year possible. I can’t speak highly enough of the quality of your shows and just the incredibly good vibes you, the staff, and the customers bring. To have this be my opener to the holiday season is just a HUGE wow. What a way to start off the holiday season with a bang. Thank you Kristen and Lindsey. Thank you, thank you, thank you <3

[My favorite moment was] a tie between a conservative-looking grandma buying a nonbinary pride flag ornament for her grandkid and the couple conversations I had with queer youth. I didn’t know what my being there with identity-affirming merchandise would mean to kids.

Making my daily sales goal by 1 p.m. on Saturday was absolutely stellar. It usually takes me 8+ hrs at cons to do this where there are thousands of attendees.

Saturday I broke my all time single-day sales record. But then on Sunday, I broke Saturday’s record, so… that was pretty cool! Also, I had a long time online customer come to the show to tell me in-person much my products have helped her. She didn’t buy anything because she was all stocked up, but we had never met in person and she just really wanted to share her story. I loved it so much I cried. Fave part by far!

I can’t stress it enough, this is the best run, smoothest functioning and best attended craft fair in the PNW. Its so clear its a show by vendors for vendors by the level of care, thought and effort you put into every aspect of the show. WE LOVE UCU!! Not only is it a great show for sales, but the attendees, vendors, organizers and volunteers are amazing people, truly have no idea how you do it but we are so thankful!
