CANDLE MAKERS DOING HOLIDAY MARKETS
Sell Out at the Market and Know You Actually Made Money
The Complete Holiday Market Kit gives you everything to plan, run and review a profitable market: a profit tracker spreadsheet, editable booth signs, gift tags, social posts and more, in one instant download.
Instant download • Editable in Canva • Works in Excel and Google Sheets
A busy market day isn’t always a profitable one.
You packed the car, set up the tent, stood for eight hours, and sold a lot of candles. Then the questions start:
- Did I bring the right stock, or did my bestseller sell out by noon?
- After the booth fee, gas and card fees, what did I actually keep?
- Was that market worth my Saturday, or should I skip it next year?
- Most candle sellers never find out. They count the cash box, feel good or bad about it, and sign up for the next one anyway.
There’s a better way to do market season.
Meet the Complete Holiday Market Kit
One download covers all three stages of market day:
Before the market: plan smart
Use the Stock Planner to decide how many of each candle to bring, and the Bundle Builder to test your “3 for $__” deals before you price
At the market: look professional and sell more
Set up with printable booth signs, price cards, QR code signs and a booth layout guide made for candle displays. Collect emails with the sign-up sheet.
After the market: know your real numbers
Enter what’s left, and the tracker shows your real profit, profit per hour, break-even sales, top seller, and whether the market is worth

Who it’s for
This kit is for you if…
- ✓ You’re doing your first craft fair or holiday market this year
- ✓ You’ve done markets before but never tracked what you actually made
- You want a professional booth without hiring a designer
- ✓ You’re deciding which markets are worth repeating next year
It’s probably not for you if you don’t sell in person. If you only sell online, start with the Candle Profit Starter Kit instead.
Less than the cost of one candle
If you bought these separately, you’d pay for booth sign templates, a price card set, gift tags, social templates and a spreadsheet, often several dollars each on Etsy, and none of them would work together.
The Complete Holiday Market Kit brings it all together, designed for candle sellers, for $12.
One better-planned market, one deal priced right, or one market you wisely skip can save you far more than that.

FAQ
Is this a physical product?
No. It’s an instant digital download. Nothing ships.
What do I need to use it?
Excel or a free Google account for the spreadsheet, a printer for the printables, and a free Canva account if you want to edit the designs.
Can I change the colors and add my logo?
Yes. Upload the PDFs to Canva and you can edit text, colors and add your logo. Canva may substitute a similar font in some places.
I’ve never used a spreadsheet like this. Will I be able to?
Yes. You only type in the yellow cells, and everything else calculates. Example rows show you the format, and the Start Here guide walks you through it.
Does it work for wax melts or other products?
Yes. The tracker and signs work for any handmade product, though the wording is written for candle sellers.
What if I have a problem with the files?
Message me through Etsy and I’ll help you sort it out.
Is this accounting or tax advice?
No. It’s a planning tool. Check with a professional for tax questions, including sales tax at markets.
Your next market is coming. Show up ready.
Plan the right stock, set up a booth that sells, and finally know what every market really earns you.
