I was wondering if you recommend a brand of tent or canopy? I am participating in a farmers market this year and they require one but it looks al over the board in terms of price to quality to durability. Thank you for your content you give great advice!!
Hey just curious how you get away with not having labels on your bath bombs at markets? I think it looks much more beautiful displaying them without the labels I'm just curious how that works! Thanks!
I recently had new displays built for my bath bombs and it’s so awesome! They are big and bulky but worth the space ...I’m having some like you have made right now! YES! All advice that’s on point!
just to go back on your tip of abundance, from my own personal reading and research, statistics have shown that stands that have more and more products available on display tend to draw in the customers eye but intimidate them on making a decision. While more people flock to the table its a high percentage that won't even finalize a purchase. As opposed to the table with around 8 products of variety, the ones that do approach the table are more likely to make a purchase as people tend to feel less intimidation in a highly simplistic setting. Just thought i'd put that out there!
@@JerikaZimmerman we brought home $50, had such a great reception and made new market friends. We'll definitely be back next week! Thanks again for all of your great videos and advice !! 💕
Love your videos… so helpful .. question… When I get these risers for my farmers market what size do you have or recommend? I’m inexperienced on the set up method. Thanks Jerika!
I just found your channel and I am in love. Being a soaper myself (as a hobby) for 8 years now I can spot talent when I see it & you are amazing. Thank you for sharing your recipes and your knowledge with us. My granddaughters want me to start making candles for them and I have been watching lots of TH-cam to learn the art. I love your body butter jars and I think they could be perfect for their candles, do you mind sharing where you purchased them. Thank you 😊
Jerika - how did you know how much to make ? I’m in the process of making soap bars shampoo bars conditioner bars lotion bars etc. and with a four week cure time I’m wanting to sell them on my blog as well as at a couple of live events local to me and maybe even some farmers market but I have no idea as far as inventory how much to keep on hand (and budgeting that amount at first?) video idea 💡 😃🙏
Great video, you are very inspirational. I'll be doing my first market in May. Where do you buy the jars that your scrubs are in? (I think that's what they are).
This is perfect timing!! I've just started my bath bomb business and i'm currently applying for stalls at local markets. I do want to ask, how much should I charge per bath bomb? Mine are 150g in size and I charge $5 NZD (about $3 USD) is that a reasonable price? thanks :)
I’d figure out first how much it costs to make each bath bomb. Include all ingredients, material, and consider all your overheard. Once that number is figured out, determine how much profit you want to make. Some go by multiplying the cost of goods by four as a general guide, but it’s all up to you. Just be sure you’re being paid fairly for your time!
I love the little jars you lip balms are displayed in. Where did you get them? I have mine in open containers and I have a terrible time with people picking them up and breaking the seals to smell them. Do you have this problem? Also, I didn't see the link for the risers you got on Esty? I have risers but love the look of yours!
No, I recommend you thoroughly research your state/province/country's laws and regulations in order to get a full picture on how to start your own business.
All of this takes money. Do you have any sources for discount codes or maybe business grants? I’m a sahm and literally only get a couple hundred dollars a month for supplies. I know exactly what I need to do I just can’t afford it so I sell on my fb
I was wondering if I got that same comment or not and I guess not you get the Fudge comment too. Lol! What is up with people and thinking we’re selling fudge and they don’t pay attention to your big banner. Also ?? Should you jump in and start letting people know what you sell or sit their and be quiet. I tried both ways and still not get that much stoppers even though I sell cold process soaps, bath bombs, sugar scrubs and bath soaks and other bath and body but that’s what I’m wondering?
How did you take a course in making soap and bath bombs or did you taught yourself? Another what if you don’t have the budget to for a brand buying all this stuff to set up your products. What advice do give some one like who is just starting to make soap?
I self-taught just by watching a lot of TH-cam. I think soaping on a budget for beginners is an awesome idea for a video! Will definitely make one of those! For now, a great resource is the Soap Queens channel on TH-cam. She has soooo much advice and recipes for beginners that will 100% help ☺️
Any display tips I’ve missed?!

@@alyssa2861 We have a small card with the ingredients that the customer can review and take with them on request (less waste).
@@JerikaZimmerman thank you so much for the fast response!
Do you have some soaps and bath bombs not wrapped for testers so people can smell them?
Goodness, I love you! Thank you so much for sharing your process with us!!!

Awesome tip!

Thank you for the tips Jerika! I am about to do my first event in April so I'm already preparing!
These really are some great ideas! Thanks for sharing! (It gained you a new subscriber! Please continue to do Farmer's Market related videos!!!)
Haha I had someone ask me if my soaps were fudge 😅🙃🤣 but she was a good sport about it, she said well since I'm here I might as well buy something 😉
Excellent business sense presentation!
❤️❤️❤️!
Great tips!! Thx for sharing where you purchased your display stands from.. those are Awesome!!!
Wow! Thank you for the advice. Where do you get your jars?
Thank you so much for this! We got invited to our first market and are setting up today. I feel so much more prepared thanks to your video ❤
YES! I made $30 at our first market. Keep going! Markets are what propelled our business for sure! You learn SO MUCH!

Great tips thanks dear, Im hand writing my labels do you have any idea on how to write them presentable as possible.

Obviously, you have never seen how colors pop on a dark tablecloth. Excellent advice though! 😊

They’re from the dollar store! Lol and oops! I’ll fix that in a bit.
Can you tell me what the buckets are called for your bomb displays please? 😊
Hi Jerika, wondering how your whipped body butter does in the summer months? Does it melt?
It doesn't do well at all! It definitely melts. We bring it in a cooler and if people ask, we take it out.
@@JerikaZimmerman thank you so much! That's what I was thinking I would need to do. How do you handle shipping in the summer months ?
@@felicialm I pull them from my etsy and websites completely in summer. I refuse to ship them or change my formula so that it ships without melting.
Oh Jerika Im in love thank you! 🤗
Can I start my own businesses by just following and watching your videos ?
No, I recommend you thoroughly research your state/province/country's laws and regulations in order to get a full picture on how to start your own business.

How big is your banner along the front of your table?
its 6 ft wide, I believe.

@@JerikaZimmerman thank you really appreciate you taking the time to response.
You can also purchase wholesale soaps and resell them so you don’t have the cost of buying equipment and individual supplies.
What measent of your display shelves please reply
Where do you buy your jars
Where are you based❓
Ontario, Canada.
Good tips!
