Craft Fair Psychology — Hurd & Honey
The Happy Hollydays Bazaar is just around the corner! November 7th and 8th. We participated last year, really enjoyed our experience, and decided at the last minute to dive in again this year. Why the last minute? Well, craft fairs, despite the cute little booth with a pair of smiling vendors, are a lot of work! Come Thursday evening next week we will be over-caffeinated and navigating our way through pathetic arguments, and will go to bed around 3:00 AM Friday morning.
But that's okay, it's part of the fun. (And this year we will have our dear friends from Degno di Nota right next to us!)
Today I wanted to share about "Craft Fair Psychology". I find myself often psychoanalyzing customers. I am sure pretending to be a psychologist and a statistician come into play for anyone that sells a product. Does a psychostatistician exist?
Here is what we learned last year, and what we will be changing (based on our consumer psychostatistics)...
1. Display
Last year our booth prevented customers from moving about, and they questioned what was for sale. We needed a space to sit/receive payment, and this became exhausting and difficult when there was a rush of customers.
2. Pricing
Last year instead of price tags on individual items, we used small signs. This year we will tag all the items. We thought that having price tags might seem tacky or impersonal, well it backfired. Even though we had prices printed out near the products, the customers still asked. It's like anywhere you go, you always check the price, and usually do what you can to avoid asking someone in a store.
3. Options to Buy
This year we will bring a variety of options for customers, and a variety of price points. Customers like to search about, touch products, and compare prices. They also respond well to a sense of urgency (maybe?). At craft fairs if it's too easy to "come back later" they usually will disappear. If we limit quantity of each option, and have a variety (price and selection), the urgency to buy will be greater.
4. Marketing/Informational "Stuff"
Last year we created all of these various informational cards for customers. In the moment of taking payment, talking to a customer, packaging, you really forget so much. So this year we decided that have all of our marketing info already attached to the merchandise.
5. Packaging
Customers are drawn to pretty and creative packaging, and we are drawn to the easiest and most cost-efficient options, that also tie in to our brand/aesthetic. We are still problem solving how to package our large items beautifully and efficiently, but as for the jars, this is about as easy as we could make it.
In reality, we wish we could control sales but we must trust vulnerably and respond with grace.

手工艺市集心理学 — Hurd & Honey
快乐冬季节市集即将到来!11月7日和8日。我们去年参加了,非常享受这段经历,并在最后一刻决定今年再次参与。为什么是最后一刻?嗯,手工艺市集,尽管有可爱的小摊位和面带微笑的摊主,但工作量很大!下周周四晚上,我们将过度摄入咖啡因,应对一些琐碎的争论,并在周五凌晨3点左右上床睡觉。
但这没关系,这是乐趣的一部分。(今年我们将有来自Degno di Nota的亲爱的朋友就在我们旁边!)
今天我想分享关于“手工艺市集心理学”。我发现自己经常对顾客进行心理分析。我相信,假装成心理学家和统计学家对任何销售产品的人来说都起作用。心理统计学家存在吗?
以下是我们去年学到的,以及我们将要改变的(基于我们的消费者心理统计数据)...
1. 展示
去年我们的摊位阻碍了顾客走动,他们质疑哪些商品在售。我们需要一个空间来坐/收款,这在顾客涌入时变得疲惫和困难。
2. 定价
去年我们没有在单个商品上贴价格标签,而是使用小标牌。今年我们将为所有商品贴标签。我们原以为贴价格标签可能显得俗气或不人性化,结果适得其反。尽管我们在产品附近打印了价格,顾客仍然询问。就像你去任何地方,你总是检查价格,通常尽量避免在商店里问人。
3. 购买选项
今年我们将为顾客提供多种选项和价格点。顾客喜欢搜索、触摸产品和比较价格。他们也很好地响应紧迫感(也许?)。在手工艺市集,如果“稍后再来”太容易,他们通常会消失。如果我们限制每个选项的数量,并提供多样性(价格和选择),购买紧迫感会更强。
4. 营销/信息“材料”
去年我们为顾客创建了所有这些各种信息卡。在收款、与顾客交谈、包装的时刻,你真的会忘记很多。所以今年我们决定将所有营销信息已经附在商品上。
5. 包装
顾客被漂亮和创意的包装吸引,而我们被最简单和最具成本效益的选项吸引,这些选项也与我们的品牌/美学相符。我们仍在解决如何美丽且高效地包装我们的大件商品,但对于罐子,这已经是我们能做到的最简单了。
实际上,我们希望我们能控制销售,但我们必须脆弱地信任并以优雅回应。
文章概要

这篇文章讲的是两个人在手工艺市集卖东西的故事。他们去年参加了市集,觉得很好玩,但也很累,所以今年又决定参加。他们发现卖东西时,顾客的行为很有趣,就像在玩心理游戏。他们总结了五个小窍门:第一,摊位要设计得让顾客容易走动;第二,每个商品都要贴上价格标签,这样顾客不用问就能知道价格;第三,提供不同价格和种类的商品,让顾客有更多选择,这样他们更可能马上买;第四,把商品信息和联系方式直接贴在商品上,这样不会忘记告诉顾客;第五,包装要漂亮又实用。他们说,虽然不能完全控制卖多少东西,但相信努力会有好结果。
TA沟通分析心理学理论评价
从TA沟通分析心理学理论来看,这篇文章展示了摊主在成人自我状态下的理性思考和适应性行为。成人自我状态涉及客观分析、问题解决和现实评估,作者通过总结去年经验并制定改进策略,体现了这一状态的应用。例如,在定价策略中,作者意识到价格标签能减少顾客的依赖型儿童自我状态(如避免询问价格),促进成人自我状态的决策(如自主比较价格)。在购买选项部分,作者利用紧迫感激发顾客的成人自我状态,鼓励理性购买而非拖延。整体上,文章反映了摊主如何通过成人自我状态优化沟通,减少来自父母自我状态或儿童自我状态的干扰,提升销售效率。
在实践上可以应用的领域和可以解决人们的十个问题
在实践上,这篇文章的策略可应用于零售、市场营销、客户服务和创业领域。基于TA沟通分析心理学理论,它可以解决人们的十个问题:1. 如何减少顾客在购物时的犹豫和拖延;2. 如何通过清晰定价促进顾客自主决策;3. 如何设计摊位布局以增强顾客流动性和互动;4. 如何利用多样性选项激发购买兴趣;5. 如何整合营销信息提高沟通效率;6. 如何通过创意包装提升品牌吸引力;7. 如何在压力下保持理性应对顾客需求;8. 如何从经验中学习并调整策略;9. 如何建立信任以应对销售不确定性;10. 如何在团队合作中协调成人自我状态,避免冲突。
