Melanie, thank you for the opportunity to be interviewed on your channel!! This was so much fun and I enjoyed every minute that we chatted together. I mentioned it in the video but let me say it again - your Booth Sellers Bootcamp Course helped to shape our business and I am grateful for the knowledge and wisdom you share in the course!!
Cindy HI 👋🏾! I was born and raised in St Michaels MD then as an adult I served with the Delaware National Guard and lived in Middletown/Smyrna…when you said slower-lower I laughed so hard. I’m an Arkansan for 5 years now. How excited was I to hear from someone back home ohhhhh you have no idea how I was glued to your every word. I started flea marketing when I came to Arkansas and never knew anything about this world. I love it. I’m still learning and and having fun. I will be following you. Melanie thank you for this interview and for sharing your knowledge. ❤❤❤ I’m visiting home in August and hope to visit Reinvented Delaware. 😊
Thanks Melanie and Cindy! I am planning and researching having a booth to resell handcrafted and vintage decor. This conversation was extremely informative. All the best to you ladies!
I do love to see what is in the store before hand, but I like to grab a coffee, and walk in, and see for myself, while I browse, shop and relax. ☕️🥰 I would love to own a booth one day. 🥰✨ Great tips.👏🏻 Drinking my ☕️ while I listen. 🤍
Melani you are unic and with so much crisma, and you have open up my intirest to somthing ..Beecors that is my thing. Thank you so much fabulos idea and tips. Love from lceland 🇮🇸💞🇱🇷🔔👌📸🔎💡🥰
I have had a booth for three months now. Been selling on Ebay, Mercari, etc. For 5 years but the booth is new to me. I started watching your videos last week and today I spent about 3 hours redoing everything!! Thank you for what you do! I have learned so much from you already! ❤
What a great discussion. A friend and I have thought we could do this many times over the years. I am now surprised how many things we hadn't even thought of. We thought of so many ideas that would cost us too much money. I have trouble writing too much down, it seems so tedious. The way she keeps track of everything seems absolutely perfect. I've always been so good at remebering...not anymore. Thanks!
Hi, Melanie, I am really enjoying listening and learning from you seasoned, creative entrepeneurs. Thanks for sharing and encouraging others. I am a new follower to Lost & Found Decor. I will also be checking out Cindy's social media. Best wishes to you both for continued success.
I loved this episode. I love hearing from someone who focuses on selling local. I have felt pushed from all directions to sell online and even though as a maker many of my items are pretty easy to ship I really just don’t want to. I have built a website but I have a hard time making myself spend time updating, etc. I really just want to sell things in my booth.
There’s totally space to craft your business the way you want to Sherry! I think the bigger overall thing to consider is multiple revenue stream… are there other local things you can add in that would also generate some revenue? Custom projects, decorating for customers or guided flea market trips, etc. Online doesn’t have to be the thing :) But it’s helpful to have a few irons in the fire, so when one is down the others can be up!
Loved this! Great ideas! Love the bullet point journal and masking tape idea. I’m a pen and paper person also. Taking measurements and also being a face daily. Love love!!
Bullet Journaling has really helped my business - I call it my assistant!! Feel free to pop over to my channel and watch the video on my bullet journal! Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/86F9OZKMtTI/w-d-xo.html
Love this conversation. Learned quite a few "new" things. (not new...we all know we need to do better with our bookkeeping and social media!) Thank you
It's a bit complicated to explain here, but here is jist of it: brands offer products and payment in exchange for an IG influencer sharing it with their followers. That is certainly not a comprehensive explanation by any means!! Search 'how social media influencers are compensated' here on TH-cam and I am sure you will find a much better explanation!! Thanks for watching 😊
This is great. You all shared so much information. I am a retired teacher and I am considering opening a booth in a local mall. I am hoping to open it up in September 2022. I have a couple of projects to complete prior to doing it.
Fantastic conversation! Such useful information for people wanting to start their own business using social media to support their handcrafted and artisanal work. I was really interested in Cindy's response to Melanie's question about what Cindy wishes she had known at the start, now that she's several years into her business. Do you have anything to share about why that second location in the tourist area did not work out? What do you think was different between the two locations that might have caused different outcomes for each location?
Thanks for watching! To your question - I wish I knew why I wasn't as successful in the second location! It's really a mystery that I didn't try to solve because we were so busy with keeping our first shop full and with all of the custom work we were working on. I'm so glad you enjoyed watching the interview! Your support means alot to me !🥰
Melanie I probably won't ever do a vendor Booth because there really aren't ones in this nearby area that I would be interested in putting my things but I really wish you would do a course on selling online.
Great video ✌️

Question. I didn't realize that Instagram is monetized? How does that work?
