Day in the Life of an Etsy Shop Owner | product photography, labelling, packaging orders. Hello! Today we'll be showing a behind the scenes of our Etsy Small Business shop. We're packaging orders, labelling products and picking up supplies at a nearby soap supply store! I give some details on my photography equipment, show you how we use our National Shrinkwrap system to wrap bath bombs, get some orders packaged and ready to go and introduce you to some of our shop pets :). We get a lot done on a Monday! Being a Small Business Owner and Etsy Shop is such an exciting and rewarding experience.

I totally appreciate you guys sharing your journey i feel so INSPIRED! THANK YOU!

[@morganthyde]

I’ve been watching this channel for the past couple of weeks. Thank you for the transparency on your processes!!!!

[@troper1102]

I’ve been watching your videos for the past two days. I would love to start making bath bombs and sugar scrub. This is inspiring me so much.

[@jadeencarnacion.b2570]

I was shocked a bit. I said wait a minute.....is that a Polar Bear coming behind you!!! Oh I love the dog so fluffy😍😍😍

[@brigidatruman6978]

this is very helpful as i want to know how to wrap your soaps nicely. thank you.

[@daisysfordogs718]

This is sooooooo helpful! I just started my dog bandana business and I have no experience whatsoever taking photography. Hopefully I can invest in a camera besides my phone soon :)

[@katerinaeratze8152]

🤗💯 good job 👌 bravoooo ❣️❣️💕🙏🇬🇷

[@echandler673]

Very cool! Do you guys have any special kind of plastic for shrinkwrapping the bath bombs?

[@tiffany7023]

This is the first video I've watched from this channel. And I have a feeling I'll be a new viewer.

[@pushpenderkaur4605]

Hi Jerika Please explain in a video how one can go about testing their product.

[@planpam5340]

Your channel is so realistic and helpful😫❤️, how do you make, print and what type of printer do you use for your labels?

[@marie-everaymond1805]

Can you tell where you get your jar? Love all your videos

[@joseysparadise9899]

You have enough variety in your product range to do your own subscription service. Once a month send out a box with different products from your range.

[@KarinaR907]

Can you do videos on wholesale orders and how to find wholesale clients? Love ur vids!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

This is an awesome idea for a vid! It’s definitely coming!

[@bobbiplank7644]

Can you do a tutorial on how to print labels? Is there a special software? I know this sounds silly

[@sweetgeekretrochic]

We had a batch (of Bath Bombs) get really bumpy one year right before Open Studios, just ended up calling them Planets. People did not mind. (even though it drive me nuts 🤪) I'm going to check out the Online Labels. Looks much more streamlined than what I'm (attempting) doing. Thank you!!

[@annazislina6335]

Hello, Jerika! Your videos are truly inspiring and informative! I'm wondering where did you get the biodegradable shrink wrap? I never thought there is such a thing!

[@mariecorpuz866]

“Tita Jerika and Tito Cale” I’m Filipina and my husband is German/Scottish, I refer him to Tito Justyn to all my nieces and nephews too! 🤣

[@erensize]

Hello! I found your channel last week and I just can’t stop watching your videos. They are very informative! Would you mind to share what size jar are your scrubs and what size label you used . I love your branding!!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I use 250 ml jars and my labels for them are 1.8”x1.8”. Thanks for the sweet comment!

[@michelecartagena8237]

Im not sure if you will get to this, but I would love to know how much product you started your business with? I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos and I appreciate all of your advise and thank you so much for sharing. Its nice to know that some people start from scratch.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Not a lot ! When you start... selling out is not likely, so don’t feel pressured to have a ton of product.

[@kanik6537]

I am looking for a bigger printer and like your HP. Could you please tell me the model? And is it a laser?

[@Perowydd]

How do you print the labels with the printer? what kind of paper of magic is that? Can you tell me the specific paper you use and size labels they are I guess, lol. I have learned more from your channel than 25 other peoples vids combined. You are doing amazing!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I get my labels from OnlineLabels. I use the glossy, waterproof ones and the 2"x2" for soap.

[@christinelangley2855]

Makes me miss home. From Toronto. In BC for the past 4 years. Spent my entire life in the summers in Parry Sound.

[@christinelangley2855]

I started making soap as a means to get better ingredients in product after I was diagnosed with cancer. Got addicted (as per norm) this summer I ventured out into the Farmer Markets. Love watching soapers from home. Makes me miss it but I cheer u all on BIG TIME cause u r like Fam!!

[@christinelangley2855]

A little jeally that u r so close to new directions. I order from there. We only have Voyager in BC and they r not the best in my opinion

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Ahh! We moved her from Toronto and love this area so much! Parry Sound is a beautiful place and about an hour from where we are.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Yes! I love the soaping community and how we all build each other up ❤️

[@JerikaZimmerman]

We LOVE ND! I rarely order from Voyageur, sad to hear they’re not great 😓

[@leelee714]

Thank you for the video! May I ask, what size box are the bombs in, it's at the end of the video?

[@JerikaZimmerman]

9x4x3 :)

[@kendrabonds5688]

@@JerikaZimmerman coming from someone who was in a relationship with someone who was in the copier sales and service business but before you load your printer tray fan the paper in all directions so the paper doesn't stick together or get stuck in the machine

[@jacklynnslattery7803]

Epson printers are a good printer my family all switched from Hp printers to epson

[@jnhnmk]

I like your work 😍. I want to ask so you deliver the order to the customer what about if I can't drive, can I do something about that 🥺

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Drop it off to your local post office... they’ll deliver it for you.

[@jnhnmk]

@@JerikaZimmerman really is it easy . Did i need contract with the office

[@bearandkindapawthecary]

Love your dog!! I have 3 retrievers and 2 cats who hang out with me while I make soap and product...make similar things to your but I mainly market mine to dog owners! Shampoo bars and liquid castile for shampoo, coat oils and bath treatments and balms and a salve... about to start doing lip gloss and balm kits for people as well. I look forward to getting busier like you guys but dread figuring out how to get it all done...I am minus a hubby and the animals have no thumbs! Love your branding and videos!!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

It's a blessing and a curse! Getting steady sales is all we've dreamed of and now we're so busy it's insanity! Still love it, though :)

[@bearandkindapawthecary]

@@JerikaZimmerman That's the main thing... as long as you are still enjoying it you will figure it out. You guys are doing great ♡

[@sherriboswell8918]

Love your channel. Just trying to figure out soap making. How long do you let your soaps cure? Thanks! BTW your dogs are adorable too.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

4 weeks cure!

[@BodyandSpaCreations]

I loved the car karaoke

[@amanda.r2241]

Does anyone know how to get that green color drizzle towards the end of the video? I believe is what it is. It's on the bathbomb that is in the box that is a gift. I ask because all the greens I find are not safe for bathbomb use. Thank u

[@myhairypillow5019]

What font is the main name (scent). Looking for the same for invitations .

[@kendrabonds5688]

Someone wants their 10 minutes of Fame lol...he's adorable! Hope you're paying him well with lots of healthy treats 😂

[@PJMcGeehan]

Hi can you explain how to edit videos what studio do u use? Thank you guys so much honey

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I use Final Cut Pro. I'll make a video on how I edit soon :)

[@Agentscrange333]

What font is that?

[@jeannineachee6620]
