40 years… it must be so hard to part with 😢
It truly was. It's also amazing to see the type of person he was with all the cool stuff we found. It was like getting to understand my dad in a different light. As hard as it was, I'm so glad it's completed.
Beautiful display. I need to add some cute things to my table to make it presentable. I know the feeling of not making sales. I have spent hours with no sales and I live in the Florida heat. I bring labels and crossword puzzles to pass time.
Thank you so much 😊. And yes, the right decorations can make your table more welcoming. I tried to find something that is on brand with my label. Check out Pinterest if you need some ideas. And I may think about bringing some puzzles to pass the time myself. Good idea!
You are a sweet person! I think what you wear is perfect! People are not very good people if they feel like they need to make fun of others!! Do you girl!!! I love your videos!! ❤
Thank you so much. These words truly mean a lot to me 😊❤
First of all…you look great in the tank top! Wear them Sis, life is too short. Also, sending continued love and prayers your way. ❤ I admire your ability to do a market while dealing with such heavy things!
Your table set up looked good! One of my favorite things to do when selling in-person is to simply call people over to give me feedback on my products. I have a video on my channel where I share tips that help me to make sales at pop-ups. In that video I talk about how I engage customers to give me feedback. Keep going! You’re doing great…you’re learning as you go and you get better every time. You are MORE than enough!!! Remember that ❤🫶🏾
Thank you so much ❤ I appreciate this a lot. I will definitely watch that video because that's a fascinating idea. I've been trying to find ways to come out of my shell at markets.
Hey Tam,
I'm sorry to hear that it didn't go so well at the market this time around, sweetie, but next time it will go great in your favor. I understand, woo chile, this heatwave was and is a bear. However, I'm glad that you did get a few sales. May God continue to bless you with strength and your heart in all your enduring since your beloved father passed, but I know you're strong, sis. I admire your strength and perseverance. I can't wait to see your new products and the behind-the-scenes process. Blessings on blessings, sis. Much love, queen.
Oh ,before i forget you look good girl in that tank top do you girl always i know its easier said than done but I'm glad you let go and felt free. I can relate how you felt i'm the same .
🥰🙏🏽❤️
Thank you friend 🥰I have to remember that not every event is going to go the way I plan and that there's always something to take away from every event. And thank you for the kind words. It was very freeing to wear that tank top lol
@@LanaciaMarie You're quite welcome my dear friend my pleasure. I agree with your thoughts. I'm glad you felt free with that tank top that just means you now can do it more often so you can feel free and be you, sweetie.🥰🙏🏽
This is so random but you have nice eyebrows lol
Aww, thank you lol 😊 They definitely run in my family because a lot of us have those thick eyebrows.
Thank you for sharing your win on wearing the sleeve top!! Congratulations! Good job. Stay cool!
You're welcome and thank you so much 😊
19:46: I thought about a similar issue for our first event. My partner has hired a young man to work the event, but if we are there for an extended period, I'm considering bringing some bags and labels to work on. Typical introvert😅. Clients would see it as if they walked into a store and saw a staff member working.
16:29: That blouse color and the slight flutter sleeve look lovely on you☺️. I am also going through perimenopause and wear a neck fan for the hot flashes. I'll have one during our first pop-up this August.
I’m looking forward to seeing your new products!
Thank you and I am too 😊
19:10: From my perspective: exposure, marketing, direct client feedback, resources by observing other vendors, and practice for the next event.
And maybe you can select venues that have environments that work for YOU and YOUR products.
Well this market I feel is definitely the right fit for me and my products. It was just that the heat wave that day was working against me. It's difficult to find the right venues here because the markets that you think will be the right fit often turn out not to be. I will say that the markets here in the city is definitely different from markets in other states. I will absolutely be practicing more before the next event.
My candle sales slack from May-mid August. Mid August is about when folks start readying for fall & purchasing all of the things.
I'm looking forward to that time of the year because I would love to see how I do around then myself
Congratulations on your tank top, stay cool. Definitely look into other products. I don’t do candles during the summer cause I realize that a lot of people don’t use them during the summer ( I use them year round). Try room sprays and car diffusers. Will try to do some markets this summer. All the best
Thank you so much 😊 I'm definitely going to add a few more items. And I use candles now year round too lol.
Great video!!! Suggestion it maybe better to do a night market. A market that start at 6pm. during summer. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much 😊I think that's a good idea too. I'm also going to look for indoor markets too because we have a few of them.
Sometimes, as candle makers, we do things for promotional purposes only, which is okay, but like a few of your other viewers say, look into selling other things.Maybe find somewhere that you can buy and boke plushyes, scrunches, keychains,hairbows, little things that are easy to sell for cheap. That way, you can still make money but promote your candles and wax melts. Anyway, we love you. Stay encouraged, stay motivated and understand that everything will not always go the way you want it to go, but it will still be okay.
Thank you so much for the kind words and the advice. Your words are really appreciated 😊❤. Definitely, working on more products to put out there.
Yes, expand your offerings. I sell glass can cups, straw toppers, stickers and cute tshirts.
I definitely will. I think it's time.
