It was nice watching you and your husband working together and the way he supports you in this endeavor. I am starting my own small business of making candles and soaps. I started making candles for my family a few years ago. I a vet and it helps with my PTSD. I am also on dialysis for kidney failure. No I have started to try and make a business of it along with soap making with the things that go a long with it. Watching your videos has given me the strength to start my own business. I hope the best for you and keep up the good work.
@@coachcarenfern thank you. You are right on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I don't feel much like doing any thing but the Marine in me want let me quit. I hope your mother gets a transplant soon and it works as good for her as my first one did. God bless and y'all are in my prayers.
I've sold a few products online only and gotten great reviews but I've never thought to try an actual market.. This motivates me so much to work harder and achieve this goal!!
I observed this too! Her sweet personality is a pull and I was so happy to watch the interactions btn her and her customers. They genuinely enjoy being in her company. I love it!
Thank you for showing the back office of a brand vendor, i 'm french and i needed to learn the commercial speech to catch the customers in english, precious !
This is so inspiring!!! I started my business in November of last year focusing on online as I too am a homebody with a 9-5 and kids and really like to recharge on the weekends. But as im inching closer to leaving my 9-5 im getting curious about craft fairs and im right across the river and to watch your small business success knowing your just a train ride away makes it all feel so much more attainable. Instant subscriber here, Keep up the work!
This is incredible! I am so happy for you! It's such a joy when I see your videos pop up! I've had a small business since 2019. Started off originally selling handmade journals made from 100% recycled materials. I had my own lined paper, bound the books and painted the covers.. didn't really go anywhere. Maybe sold a couple of them. I let my business go for a few years and posted only paintings for a while. Got a few commissioned pieces, some purchased my prints but then I gave up, again. I've been a crocheter since I was 8 years old, I'm now almost 30. Just in fun, I posted a couple of photos of sweaters I made for my parents and dog and it seemed to have taken off. I almost couldn't keep up with the custom orders. I started watching your videos and you Inspired me to dive in and give it all I had (along with Roman Atwood vlogs that my hubby and I watch) . I've got shows / pop ups set into the next year, but the last 3 I've done have been not the greatest. I've spent maybe 5k on set up, and the most I've brought home is $130. (1 show) The others were between 45-80$ Now, crochet has become such an oversaturated concept, but in stuffed animals.. I have a website up and 0 traffic. Nobody is placing custom orders now. It's really discouraging because I spend almost 100% of my time crocheting to prepare and the fruit of my labor is nothing. I just wanna give up but your videos inspire me to keep going. Thanks Monica @belovely.shoppe
One last thing, posting reels and on tiktok more frequently -- of you crocheting, working on your business, etc, then wearing the product outside, or of your customers wearing it out. Just my 2 cents, blessings ❤❤
I used to do that when I was single w no kids lol :) street markets are a lot of work. funny a bunch of guys buying candles who knew lol Keep up the great work :)
10 days since launching my business and coming across your channel has been life changing!! Already going through the roller coaster of emotions as a business owner and you have been keeping me grounded 🥺🫶🏽 so much love all the way from LA
Love that they allow you to have other colored tents. I got white because a lot of the events in NYC required a white tent. Funny enough I'll be using it next week for my one outdoor event this year. Just got a spin the wheel game to try out as well ☺ Also good note on gift sets, my work is a little different so wondering how I could incorporate it but I do offer bundle deals.
congratulations Monica This event feels like I was right there with you I so enjoyed watching you I can’t wait to get going next for my own get cozy with Coach Caren’s hand made here in Canada
Congratulations Monica! I’m so happy for you! You’ve come a long way! I enjoy your videos, especially this one! This tops all! Keep it up! Keep growing! The sky is the limit for you!
If you do more nighttime events I would suggest you invest in more lights. Different than what you had maybe one that can hang from your canopy also string lights that are battery operated or ones you can use with a battery pack
This is my dream, with the comics I make. Trying to get it together buet it's hard around my day job! I've been waking up at 5:30 am before work tomake products for inventory.. I'm hoping next summer I'll have enough to finally sell somewhere like this. This has been really inspiring!
it is nice to have a tall partner. I am gratefull that my son helps out. I dont like pink but the advantage of the pink tent, is the light is so sweet and warm.
As a small biz girly as well i want to say you are amazinggg at talking with the customers! I know it can be stressful sometimes but you handled yourself so well 🤍
Hey, just so you know it’s a lot easier to open the canopy by simply pulling the legs up. So, you and your partner would go on two different legs on the same side and pop them up and then repeat on the other side. You do not need to go underneath the tent to pop it up. Love your booth so cute!
So happy that everything went well - wondered about you all week!! 💗 you are an inspiration to so many - wishing you continued success this market season!
I let the display candles melt because it makes them smell really good for customers:) Then I keep the real sellable stash of candles in the shade in my kiosk:)
Love seeing behind the scenes. I've learned a lot from watching you. You've helped me grow so much in the last year. Thank you for sharing your journey and giving awesome advice to us all. I appreciate you!
@@zucchinigreenif I don’t see prices at a booth I won’t even approach. Who wants to feel poor and walk away after being told the price? It’s embarrassing. It’s courteous to provide prices. Don’t be manipulative.
What an amazing market I’m new to your videos and love the blog style of your day and recap. Even though I don’t even know you I’m so happy to see your business succeed. Such an inspiration! Your personality and love for the products that you make definitely shines through 😊
This was a cool video. 1st time viewer here. Have you thought about putting your brand label on the bottom of the candle? As a frequent purchaser of candles, I tend to prefer ones with brand labels on the bottom so that they look prettier on display in my house.
Hey, I’m a fellow girl in stem and thought you had a very magnetic and bright personality. I’m in college, so I’m broke as shit. But i still bought your candle. Because youre a small business and i support small businesses. I also JUST found your channel today. keep up the great marketing. Btw, make more stickers!
Would be amazing to see that! I’m pretty sure she uses Shopify for check out and they’re so detailed with their app. There’s another creator I watch who uses Shopify and they’re able to print barcodes for their merchandise and can scan their products during check out to keep track of inventory. Pretty cool~
Your videos have really been an inspiration. I have a few markets coming up in Nov & Dec and I have lots to prep but have not been motivated to. After watching this video, it really made me feel motivated to get started. Thank you for doing you and for posting videos like these :)
Suggestion: maybe you can make yourself a cute little beaded (or not) lanyard to hold your mic so it doesn't pull down on your tops. Also, we love mom! ❣️
Congratulations on your amazing success at the market event!🎉 Running a candle business while sharing your journey as a TH-camr is truly inspiring. Wishing you even more success and light as you continue to shine both in your business and online!love the candle gift idea btw😊
Congratulations Monica! That's amazing turn out 🎉 my husband and I are watching/listening to this video while we prepare for our upcoming event. I also got this spin the wheel thingy you recommended. Im excited to use it 🤗
You are the cutest I’m so happi I came across you Your dress was gorg ❤keep creating you bring a cheerful smile to all of us with your creations 🌸🍬🌈🩵💜I’m from Cali and will be doing my first order now Your mama is the cutest she’s on top of it knowing how to help Good job MAMA raising such a BEAUTIFUL colorful creative daughter ❤
Love watching your videos and content. Your booth set up is very cheery and inviting! Just an observation to display your mini pouches is to use a clear acrylic mail organizer. They are so cute and it may help show them off more! Love your dress too!
Hi Monica, just subscribe your channel. Loving everything. I don't do craft show yet. I have lots of doubt in this bad economy but after watching your channel, your positive attitude and hard work somewhat brings me hope. Thank you for sharing. I wish you the best. Oh may I ask where do you buy the rack for your scrunchies? Thank you.
I love your channel. I subscribed.❤ I was thinking when you sell out of different scents of candles. To replace an empty space with it cut out of what was there maybe say available online sold out sold out and available online.
Hi Monica, Thank you so much for this video it inspires me so much, I have a small online business / gift shop and my stationary items are handmade as well as my keychains and my t-shirts and sweatshirts are designed and pressed by me as well. my online store is also a Christian inspired store and I don't see many stores like that in my area which is New York, I was wondering if you might be able to point me in the right direction on how to look for pop up shops because i have no idea ☺. Thank you so much for your time Monica. Any advise you can share is very helpful or if anyone else knows thank you so very much. Have a wonderful day
I don’t know why… but the idea of having a small flame for the dot on top of the letter “i” in Monica, would be so fitting for your candle branding 🥹🤍 ABSOLUTELY love your brand. Checking out your site 🫶🏼
This was sooo cute and inspirational!! I watched every second of it and i have ADHD lol I also want to sell handmade goods. I hope to be this successful one day
New sub saw this video and LOVE your vibe. Im a fellow crafter only done a few craft shows as I'm not financially ready to invest but wow I live your display and setuppp

I am starting my small business of my handmade jewellery. The making of them heals my depression. I can understand u
I've sold a few products online only and gotten great reviews but I've never thought to try an actual market.. This motivates me so much to work harder and achieve this goal!!
You should definitely go for it
yeah go for it! You meet a lot of nice people and drive more traffic to your site
It’s obvious that your customers love you and keep coming back not only for your amazing products but also just to chat with you!
I observed this too! Her sweet personality is a pull and I was so happy to watch the interactions btn her and her customers. They genuinely enjoy being in her company. I love it!

The market is my favorite place to visit because there are many new things. Your stall is so cute.

At these markets, you should train someone to work with you. Especially now that you have repeat customers!

I love the behind the scenes look, I never thought about how much building art market setups can take!

Congrats! And your mom is so adorable!!!
I’ve been looking forward to this video so much! Today I’m cranking out a bunch of beeswax candle molds & this is perfect timing 🤩
And I love how you were right next to a place where people could sit which brings more attention to your space!
Yay! New Monica videos are my fav part of the week! I’m working on stock today so I love watching your market vlogs, they keep me going 💕💕

I loved watching your process and hearing how you think
As a small biz girly as well i want to say you are amazinggg at talking with the customers! I know it can be stressful sometimes but you handled yourself so well 🤍
I love watching your process and how involved your mom is! ❤

So happy that everything went well - wondered about you all week!! 💗 you are an inspiration to so many - wishing you continued success this market season!

I love your vlog how do you prevent your candles from melting? Heat and sun🫣🥵
I let the display candles melt because it makes them smell really good for customers:) Then I keep the real sellable stash of candles in the shade in my kiosk:)
Amazing help from mom and Josh. Mom was working her little butt off! Love it
I had feeling that this market was going to go well even when you felt like you had a bad spot! Love this for you and the business! 🙌🏾❤
Girl you were busy since BEFORE the actual open time! I love it! Congratulations!!!
Love seeing behind the scenes. I've learned a lot from watching you. You've helped me grow so much in the last year. Thank you for sharing your journey and giving awesome advice to us all. I appreciate you!
Do you not have a price chart for your stuff on the tables?
I think it's a good move not to cause then she gets to upsell them on the gift boxes and plug her business.
That strategy seems to work
@@zucchinigreenif I don’t see prices at a booth I won’t even approach. Who wants to feel poor and walk away after being told the price? It’s embarrassing. It’s courteous to provide prices. Don’t be manipulative.

Love the bags, but do you have smaller options? They all seemed too large for your customers purchases.
Where did you buy that banner that you hung as a backdrop? Love your set up!
Vistaprint!
Your booth looks so amazing! Thank you for sharing, super helpful and inspiring 😊
thank you🥰

Hi I was wondering if you have made a video on your “register” setup such as what app do you use on the iPad, like a full checkout process?
Would be amazing to see that! I’m pretty sure she uses Shopify for check out and they’re so detailed with their app. There’s another creator I watch who uses Shopify and they’re able to print barcodes for their merchandise and can scan their products during check out to keep track of inventory. Pretty cool~
Yes I’ve been looking for videos on this. Next year I start to do vendor event.. I pray she does one
