day in the life: small business owner, making soap, email marketing, & unboxing new Replica Surfaces

[@garciabreu]

i quit instagram two months ago and i feel SO MUCH BETTER, im only doing e-mail marketing ang local pop-ups every other month, also collaboratin with other small local businesses. Im happy that now i dont have to focus on instagram and also investing my time in better ativities. I just got tired of trying to keep up with instagram and i have other stuff to do than trying to understand the algorithm

I think it’s great you found an alternative that makes you happier! You gotta do what feels right in your heart.

So glad you are back!!! I have been watching you for awhile and I've learned a ton for my small business. I'm excited to see you continue to grow.

[@caitlinblue]

Thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad your finding some helpful tips.

that kitchen card background is such a fantastic idea!! I've seen marble and coloured backgrounds but I've never seen ones of actual locations 😮

[@caitlinblue]

Yes! Replica always has such good designs, they’ve done living rooms and bathrooms too!

I am blown away at everything you have to do. May I ask where you buy your candle boxes? And also your pretty tissue paper? Thank you, Caitlin! I'm just starting and I want to make everything beautiful the way you do.

Hi! Oh my gosh you’re so sweet, thank you!! I use no issue for custom tissue paper and boxes now!

Do you ever have any issues or concerns with your lye water seeping through the white plastic buckets? I've been using a stainless steel type pitcher but I want to use buckets similar to what you are using so I can get more soaping done in one session.

[@caitlinblue]

I used to be worried when I first started out, but I make sure to swap out the buckets often. Nothing bad has happened yet!

[@stacee1708]

@@caitlinblue Ok, that's good to know. Thank you!

What are your thoughts on tik tok successes. Soap makers selling out every two weeks based on their tiktok videos. Do you suggested investing time into tiktok videos showing people you cutting soap, pouring soap, packing orders, etc?

[@caitlinblue]

I think you should pick one platform to focus on and grow, if you don’t have a preference I would start with Tik Tok since you have a better chance for discovery. Consistency is the most important thing in my opinion!
