Love the idea of a industry update instagram! You are right- we don’t have the time with all the information out there. Sometimes my head spins with information overload and it stifles my motivation and direction.

[@caitlinblue]

Amazing!! I just posted yesterday on IG an article that's worth reading and I'll continue to figure out easy ways to share industry news with you all!

[@anabravo3581]

Love love love how organized you are. Xx

[@caitlinblue]

Awe thanks! It's not always this organized trust me! 💕

[@original.sin.79]

Congratulations on the sponsorship! 🎉 Love your idea for Instagram and I for one would love the beauty scene scoops. BTW, the color on the tables is absolutely gorgeous 😍 (great job by your husband.) Thanks for all you share with us!

[@caitlinblue]

Thank you!! I'll tell my husband he's getting praise on YT for his paint job. He will love it!!

[@firdowskruger9896]

@@caitlinblue when I saw the table on IG,.I assumed YOU had painted it. Great job by hubby..😊

[@firdowskruger9896]

Thanks, Caitlin. Loved this one too. Especially you wrapping the soap and the studio update. The freezer paper is a great 💡 👍How many new.scents do you make for holiday season? My core line is 25 and I do 4 new scents for the different seasons and for Valentines day,.Mother's day, etc.😊

[@caitlinblue]

Oh my gosh 25!! That's incredible! I have 6 scents in my core line and I do about 4-5 seasonal ones.

[@glowcoorganics3480]

Well done 👏 I just signed up to Kinder so excited! 💕

[@caitlinblue]

Awe thank you! And I hope you love Kinder as much as I do, it's so fun!

[@riverbellcottage]

Another great video! Love those little side tables! x

[@caitlinblue]

Thank you SO much!! The tables were 100% done by my husband who gets the credit but they make me so happy!

[@meredithnewberry3745]

That’s a great idea for a channel. It would be great to share that info and foster discussion! 💡💡

[@caitlinblue]

Awesome! I think I'll start a few days a week and just see how it goes!💕

[@missmagicfairy2]

This is a great set up, thank you so much for sharing. So much inspiration! I am in the process of starting up my small business. Can I ask who you get your packaging through - product boxes, etc? Im still looking into box packaging for my products, it’s a little overwhelming sometimes to find the right place and good pricing, etc.

[@donnalynn7454]

I'd love to read your industry updates and business insider info/insights on your personal IG account. I'd love to know where you order your custom printed soap wrapping papers and your beautiful boxes as well as your clear labels, please. I love your videos thank you for being "real" and genuine. It shows your integrity! I really value that.

[@Goddess276]

just bought sugar & fig in the bar soap, whipped soap and scrub. wish there was a basket/bundle option.

[@caitlinblue]

Oh thank you so much for your order!! I'm actually working on some bundles this week. I used to have a gift box option but I'm doing a few fun bundles for BFCM! 💕

[@Eleeselark5426]

Hello, I love the freezer paper idea. Also I like how you package your soap with paper. Do you mind sharing how you create them, or did you have them customized?

[@caitlinblue]

Thank you so much! I have the papers fully customized with the print. It's super expensive but I wasn't finding what I wanted for sale anywhere else. 💕

[@_xbadazz9176]

hi Caitlin, may I ask where do you get your designed soap paper printed?

[@MarciesWhimsySoaps]

Hi Caitlin! Youve probably already covered this before but do you keep separate inventory counts for wholesale vs Shopify vs pop up sales and shows? Thanks!

[@caitlinblue]

I do everything through shopify! You can set up different sales channels for each area of sales to pull analysis afterwords so I love it all in one place!

[@margaretmelendez8203]

Great video! Funny, I was following you on IG, but when I checked it showed that I wasn't so I Re-followed😀 I'm not under my name, I'm under my business name. So, yes IG industry tips would be awesome. I work fulltime, so not much time and researching a lot of information makes my brain numb. With tips I could just research that particular category.😉

[@caitlinblue]

Amazing thank you for the follow! I just posted yesterday a really great article that's worth reading and I'm excited to keep sharing over on IG too! 💕

[@MereofallTrades]

I like your idea for IG!

[@caitlinblue]

Awesome!! I just posted yesterday and will continue to do so! 💕

[@ItsTrenace]

Retail is part of my work history but I am over 10 years removed from the industry. I now have a retail ecommerce business but could def use some knowledge/tips. Heading over to IG to follow.

[@caitlinblue]

Thank you for the follow! I'm so excited to share retail news with everyone over on IG and hopefully I can save everyone some time and help you grow your business too! 💕

[@leiahart]

What’s the blue dispenser pump at @12:27 called? Do you have a link to it? Thanks! 😁

[@caitlinblue]

Hi! Not sure what it's called but it's from Uline!

[@leiahart]

@@caitlinblue do you have the link to it? 😊

[@lifewithamberb]

I recently found out that there’s biodegradable shrink wrap. Have you ever tried those?

[@caitlinblue]

yes i have, I haven't used it because I am phasing out bath bombs which is mostly what I would use it for. But I think it's great!

[@lifewithamberb]

@@caitlinblue that makes sense. They don’t make lip balm sleeves?

[@lifewithamberb]

Is that an air purifier or a dehumidifier n the floor?

[@caitlinblue]

it's a dehumidifier!

[@lisawalker7923]

Do you use bar codes on your products. I can't remember if you mentioned that or not.

[@caitlinblue]

I don't use barcodes but I am going to start next year as I'm wholesaling to some larger retailers soon!
