Day in the Life of a Small Business Owner, Studio Vlog 008

[@Ame224]

New subscriber, just binge watched a ton of your videos, the vlogs are my favourite!

[@Laurenheathco]

Thank you!!!

[@Mamamakerandshaker]

Would love to learn more about the shipping and the cost of shipping those big boxes. Love watching you while I work

[@Laurenheathco]

Hi, all of our shipping is just done through our different platforms. Especially with our wholesale orders the buyer pays for the shipping when their order is sent out.

[@asmamohsin4892]

I have a question. Do you use sublimation printer to print on ur sublimation paper or cricut maker and vinyl for your prints. Can you guide me a little on it please

[@Laurenheathco]

We sell DTF transfers, no weeding, no vinyl, can be used on all types of apparel and any colors!

[@asmamohsin4892]

Thank you so much. Appreciate it

[@Jay-kk1kv]

Hiii. Could you do a video on your transfer business? I would love to see how it works :)

[@Laurenheathco]

What we show is basically it lol!

[@annadesn665]

I'm an old subscriber / un-subscriber / subscriber 😂 Stumbled upon your business vlogs last night and binging them today at work 😂 I used to follow you when you had another shop, but then unfollowed when you transitioned to Etsy tips etc, because that's not of my interest. But now I'm back on this channel!

[@Laurenheathco]

Loooove this 😂😂😂

[@ViktoriaMarkussen]

Awsome job at building your business so far up in such a short time! I hope you continue to climb mountains! Would it not be less time-consuming printing several of the same design at the same time with the DTF printer, instead of just like 1-2 of each design as the orders come in? :) Or is there a particular reason you are doing it the way you are doing?

[@Laurenheathco]

It’s actually more cost effective for us! Doing a made to order style allows us to order inventory when it’s been purchased rather than ordering a ton of inventory up front and letting it sit and not sell

[@cthornton]

Just started watching you love your vibe... what is the name of the heat press that you use if you don’t mind sharing?

[@Laurenheathco]

It’s a signature pro brand from heat press nation

[@muscles_31]

Your a very creative lady! Can I have the dog! Thanks!

[@molly3057]

Okay maybe this is a strange request but I feel like it might help other people as well so I’m just gonna ask. If it’s possible, maybe you could add the height of the model and size they’re wearing to the clothing descriptions in your shop? I’m trying to pick which size Halloweentown crewneck I want and I’m unsure which would be best. It always helps me feel more confident in my size choice when I can see the fit and size of something on someone else. P.S. Thank you for considering my suggestion and I love your shop ❤️🥰🥺

[@Laurenheathco]

Hi, we have a sizing chart with every tshirt and sweatshirt in the photos

[@tinat3073]

Thats a really good suggestion.

[@Cecibug1]

supper curious about how you sources a video editor, costs and styling communication/paramotors. and what program do you use for your daily todos?

[@Laurenheathco]

We used Fiverr for our editor and the program for todo is notiong

[@Cecibug1]

@@Laurenheathco Thank you 😊

[@natashacrews4262]

Could you please share your local DTF, Im local to NC and would like to send my designs to them to do, with kids I cant do all this weeding etc.

[@Laurenheathco]

Hey! We actually take custom orders! cotswoldtransfers.com/products/copy-of-antisocial-butterfly-retro-png-retro-aesthetic-transfer

[@Hubris85]

Loooove your videos!! Question though….did you design all of your designs or have an artist do them?

[@Laurenheathco]

We have a mix! We design and buy from artists!

[@Hubris85]

@@Laurenheathco ah I see!! Thank you so much!!

[@nickiedwards73]

Lauren do you have any tips on bringing traffic to shopify store? Im in the process of learning how to make good tik tok videos but want to know if theres any other way of bringing traffic in the mean time?

[@Laurenheathco]

Honestly word of mouth, social media, in person pop up events, and running social media ads!

[@Jay-kk1kv]

Another question. Do you do Etsy only? Or do you do both Shopify and Etsy?

[@Laurenheathco]

Both!

[@blueeyedbraniac]

Do you mind sharing what DTF printer you use?

[@Laurenheathco]

It’s an industrial size DTF printer that Hass to have a air filter ration system, it is not just a simple go in order online printer sadly

[@decalsnstuff9444]

how big r those transfer sheets? 22" x 24" or bigger

[@Laurenheathco]

Our rolls are 22” wide and as long as we need for transfers 😂

I soooo want to watch you but the camera moves way toooo much. When you can stabilize it better I will be loving it!!! You’re what I like to watch.

[@Laurenheathco]

Hm, not sure what you mean Bonnie

[@bonnietraynor1133]

@@Laurenheathco I guess when it’s on a tripod instead of handheld. Don’t like sounding like this because you do your best right. I just get nauseas when I watch because of the movement. Make sense?

[@Ranchmade]

Please add captions to your videos!

[@Laurenheathco]

I’ll try and work on that!
