I really appreciate and enjoy this look behind the curtain. I have tried to coordinate similar things for events among some communities I have been part of, and I agree. It rarely works the way it’s promised to or intended to.
I think the customer's hope for the freebie presses pause on the potential sales - and then we scroll on by and never come back. In the craft world I think we look at these things as a gig we do to help a friend - and the industry relies on that altruism. When you call us Influencers, that's a different arena - show me the money!
