Written by the founder of Junkin' Market Days — 75+ events produced since 2021.
This is for you if —
You've done the research. Now you need the sequence.
- —You've been researching market ownership for months (maybe years) and you're ready to put a date on the calendar.
- —You want a real sequence to follow, not another vague "just start" pep talk.
- —You're not ready for 1:1 coaching yet, but you want the exact system that's behind it.
- —You're picturing a curated, aesthetic market — not a folding-table craft fair.
Nine parts. One 90-day sequence.
Everything I've actually used, refined, and used again over 75+ events.
Startup Steps
Name, LLC, EIN, venue contract, insurance, social + email — the nine moves to your first Eventbrite listing.
Choosing Your Venue
The 8-point scorecard for the single biggest decision in your first event.
Your Three Target Shoppers
Who to market to, and exactly how to reach the destination shopper, the local regular, and the girls'-day-out group.
Pricing Your Booths
Three-tier pricing built for 40–50% profit — not the break-even trap most new promoters fall into.
Your Vendor Mix
The exact roster composition for a 40-booth, aesthetic-driven market — by category and percentage.
Vendor Outreach Scripts
Cold DMs, cold emails, follow-ups, and every reply template — acceptance, waitlist, and decline.
The 6-Week Marketing Countdown
42 posts, 12 emails, 4 paid boosts — mapped week by week so you never have to invent content mid-launch.
Event Operations
How to run a calm, seamless event day with a lean 3-person team.
Pre-Launch Audit & Startup Kit
The final two-week checklist, plus exactly what to buy (and what to skip) for event #1.
Real markets, built from this exact playbook.
My favorite part of this business is getting out into the community — walking through events, discovering talented makers, and personally handpicking the vendors that are the right fit for my market. And the best part? Every single decision is mine. The venue. The vibe. The marketing. The timing. This is my business, built exactly the way I want it.
I get to spend my time doing things I actually love — scouting unique products, meeting makers, and curating an event that feels completely my own. No one is telling me what it has to look like. I choose the venue, the vibe, the vendors, and how I show up in my community. That kind of creative freedom is something I never had in a traditional job.
I always knew I wanted to run my own business — I just didn't know what that looked like until I found JMD. I still work full time, but I'm building something on the side that finally excites me. Every event I host makes me want to do it again, bigger and better.
I spent decades showing up for everyone else — my career, my family, my community. When retirement started coming into view, I knew I wanted something that was fully mine. Not a hobby. Not busywork. Something creative, meaningful, and worth getting up for.
