HOW I MADE $54,000 IN ONE DAY!! My best grab bag release ever - small business vlog

54 THOUSAND DOLLARS. In ONE day. And fine, I'll fess up - at one point, I even wished for more madness... and then I got it. Grab Bags have always been one of my best sales - but it's never been like THIS. Come along as I release a new version of my best-seller, and see all the craziness that unfolds in my office and warehouse on a release day.

If you're new here - welcome! I started my business on my 18th birthday selling paintings I made in my free time. I continued to run and grow it throughout college and graduate school, and into law school at Duke University. Now I'm running the business full time, law degree in hand, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I sell my art on my website, wholesale on Faire.com and I license my work to be sold in stores including Home Goods, Marshalls, At Home, and World Market.

I found you on TikTok and was super impressed with your products! And when I found out you went to Duke, I’ve been hooked ever since because I’ve been a huge Duke fan for 10 years! Hoping for some Duke stuff in the future! 🤞🏼💙

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Awesome! Thank you so much! Duke content is really hard to make because they protect their logos and colors very carefully. But maybe I someday I could make some Duke-inspired art. My Porcelain Floral print is similar to that blue!

I've been interested in learning more about the business side of art selling. I'm wondering, do your grab bag sales earn a profit in relation to the cost of production? Was the amount you earned that day a price that exceeded a little, or over-exceeded your production cost of the supply you had in stock? Apologies if this is too personal a question. I've just been curious of the financial side of being an artist and business owner!

She never answers questions like these. She’s a notorious gatekeeper. I’ve asked questions like these so many times, and I get either nothing or a very vague answer. She wouldn’t even tell me her vendors.

[@lizzyaalexis7850]

@@h.b16 That's unfortunate. I think viewers would find that info helpful, as it shares a raw and unfiltered lens of running a business. I usually wouldn't ask questions like these, but since the youtuber felt comfortable including their earnings in the title, I thought they would be open to answer business related questions!

​@@lizzyaalexis7850Just try to google for yourself hon. And also diversify ur income strems for more stability n spread-out of risk.

Such an inspiring business!! ❤

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Thank you so much!

[@Yannaa138]

First time coming across your channel! I live in NC so ima have to go to the retail store one day!

[@Elysebreannedesign]

That would be wonderful, looking forward to seeing you there!

[@JokesOnHer]

Just got mine today. Love everything. Question, the decal qr code when I use the camera it says TikTok but the only thing that happens is TikTok opens. I’m assuming a video of yours is supposed to play, but it isn’t

[@Elysebreannedesign]

So glad you liked it! And that's great to know. Let me check on that and mention it to the gal who designs our packaging, it might be time for a refresh!

[@TeirraChanelFit]

I ordered one yesterday! It’s such a good deal and I’ve been wanting to buy from you for a while. I got the cool tones but the warm tones were cute too. Can’t wait until it arrives in the mail🎉

[@Elysebreannedesign]

I hope you love it! I always like hearing feedback, especially from first-time grab bag buyers. Let me know!

[@rachellepper3366]

Ok this is so impressive.

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Thank you!

[@makailaann03]

Where did you buy your Shopify order counter? I love it and I want one for Etsy but I'm not finding success in my search

[@Elysebreannedesign]

It's actually a Shopify product! I'm not sure if Etsy has anything similar

[@makailaann03]

@@Elysebreannedesign Ok. Thank you!

[@tinaciancone4810]

Hi how are you

[@ChantelleArts]

Congratulations, you are such an inspiration ☺☺

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Thank you so much!

[@ArtwithOlga]

Congratulations! You must have worked hard for it and it doesn't look like a small business at all! I mean it in a good way. It might sound strange from a stranger from the internet but I am so proud!🥰

[@salmajane3277]

How are you finding customers who want to buy random stuff? It's lovely design work, but who is buying random stuff? I wasn't able to find one customer for my jewelry art or embellished clothing despite people who saw my stuff staying they were beautiful.

[@Elysebreannedesign]

It’s not entirely random stuff, it’s random but all items that have my artwork and fit my brand aesthetic. So people who like my brand like the discount and the surprise!

[@SuzanneRowell]

you are an inspiration!

[@Elysebreannedesign]

Thank you!

[@amazingracestudio]

How is this real????

[@Natalie-py8ld]

Can’t wait to get mine! 😊

[@Elysebreannedesign]

I really hope you love it!

[@GabStoreCreations]

I found you today and I'm binge watching your videos. I feel like it encourages me to keep going. I love this!!

[@Elysebreannedesign]

I'm so, so glad it's helping! You've got it, good luck!

[@Antisympathy]

What is a grab bag? Is it a bag full of mystery items or a bag you grab in a hurry when evacuating suddenly?🧐

[@Elysebreannedesign]

haha good point! Our grab bags are like mystery bundles! You order one and you may have some idea of what kinds of products you'll receive, but you don't have any idea of what prints

[@mynameisntruby2405]

Congrats!!

[@SilverFoxForestsDesigns]

well least we know we cant blame ups for any damage to the boxes hahahaha

[@Elysebreannedesign]

I promise we check anything we drop to make sure it doesn't need retaping, etc. But we definitely had some spills in there. Also all those polymailers had non-breakable products in them, so they're extra tossable! That makes them our favorite for loading hahaha

[@Christina24life]

$54 grand god damn
