Thank you to everyone who stopped by my pop-up shop booth! It was so exciting interacting with you all in person. Stay tuned for more sustainable content:)

Hey Monica. I know you posted this a whole year ago but I just wanted you to know that I'm so grateful I came across this video. I've watched the others as well and it's been so helpful and inspiring to me. I'm doing my first Pop-Up in 2 weeks for my hair accessory business and I'm SOO NERVOUS but I feel so much more excited now that I've watched your videos and gleaned wisdom from you. I hope you are doing well. Wish me luck!

[@monicarazak]

So happy to hear my videos helped in some way! I hope your first pop-up went well!! Best of luck with your business:)

[@JonesLeFae]

You are so sweet. It sounds like you haven't done too many of these yet. I used to make a full-time income selling at shows but I changed careers. I am now getting back into it part-time and it is really nice to get someone else's perspective on it. I am based in Colorado Springs, CO and sell handmade jewelry and accessories (bags mostly, but sometimes clothing). I also sell on Etsy, but that is a little slow, and I sell to a couple of local shops.Good luck with your venture!

[@JANEMTV]

The final result was impeccable, loved everything, amazing work💗

[@monicarazak]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Alanadesigns]

Yes ad on your mirror! Great job 😊Thank you for sharing!

[@monicarazak]

Thanks for watching!:)

[@sharonloves]

Just discovered your channel and I’m just hooked. I love your spirit❤. I’m now binge watching your videos and can’t stop…lol😂. Just had a thought, your mirror is that attraction point so why not create apparel with that saying on them maybe tees in summer and hoodies ( sustainable materials of course) in fall, in the colors matching your candles and scrunchies, this way you have add-ons that match… in my humble opinion. Rooting for you.

[@dottiemathews6853]

OH WOW! I LIKE THE MIRROR IDEA! I MUST USE THAT! I AM DOING A POP UP SHOP IN JUNE! I GOT MY TENT AND 6FT FOLD UP TABLE, TABLE CLOTH RUNNER (WITH MY BRAND CHASSIEDOT CREATIONS ON IT) AND OTHER NESSEITITES.

[@monicarazak]

Best of luck with your pop up shop! And yes the mirror gets almost everyone to stop and look!:)

[@itty.bittypretty2019]

[@natashac2108]

I knew this was Hoboken!! I grew up here.

[@alexatorres6248]

I was about to say that tag mirror thing. 😭

[@thatboholife5150]

Your booth looks great

[@monicarazak]

Thank you so much!

[@beautyandgracewm]

How did you hang/ attach your mirror on the canopy?

[@aurasoular6804]

What kind of sewing machine did you use to make you apparel?

[@irenkemaasimba]

beautiful congratulations girl ,where did you get your earrings rack

[@monicarazak]

Thank you:) It’s from Amazon!

[@BeautySecrets109]

Everything came out so pretty!😍 where did you get you large size baskets, they are so pretty!

[@monicarazak]

Thank you! The crates are from a brand called Hay! Got them online.

[@imanbenetlewis6365]

Where did you get your brand signage made?? and how did you preplan your booth?

[@monicarazak]

I used Vistaprint! Love the quality of their products, plus they have super fast shipping for custom orders. I preplanned my booth by setting up my products on my crafting room desk and just played around with different configurations until I liked the result. I'm still working on the perfect booth set up (which you'll see in an upcoming video) :)

[@vw4116]

your tote bags are adorable! May I ask what you sold them for?

[@monicarazak]

Hi! I currently price them between $15-$30 :)

[@JustPassingBy_Yolo]

What do you do if someone came to your booth, vibe with you then steals from you? Do you make a scene or let it be ?

[@morganelias7447]

Hi! Can you tell me what tent you used?

[@monicarazak]

This is the one I have! (aff link): rstyle.me/+e8rrbe4aGrN0WfOetP81vg It's currently out of stock, but if it becomes available I def recommend!

[@morganelias7447]

@@monicarazak thank you so much!

[@texasmarshalls]

Monica - this was a great video and answered a lot of questions. I feel like branding and marketing on social is probably the most challenging for me.

[@texasmarshalls]

Monica, i forgot to ask, for this festival how much did they charge you for the space?

[@atlanticbeach2020]

HI CAN I KNOW WHERE CAN I BUY THIS MIRROR ,HOW MUCH IT COST ? I HAVE A POP UP SHOP SOON,SO NERVOUS

[@noname-zk1gc]

I think you buy a regular mirror and buy vinyl decals of off Etsy!

[@monicarazak]

I made the decal and put it on a regular Target mirror! I have smaller sizes of the decal available on my website currently:) If you want a custom size/color, you can shoot me a message on my site!

[@altheaprass]

Congratulations 🎉

[@monicarazak]

Thank you!!

[@peparonimacaroni]

I have a small business and I really want to open a pop up shop!! The problem is I live in saudi, it's different to the UK (were I lived most of my life), and I don't know if they allow popups, or even have a place to host them. I searched online and barely got any results

[@monicarazak]

oh man! I hope one day you get to do one whether it be in saudi or somewhee else:)

[@jmota5279]

How big was your space? We got a 6 x3 trying to figure out how to display everything appropriately

[@monicarazak]

This space was a 10x10ft space so there was tons of room. When I have a smaller space, I usually just do 1 6ft table and a garment rack:)

[@Linallarii]

how did u package their orders when they checkout?

[@monicarazak]

Usually while they're getting their wallet out, I quickly grab a paper bag and put the items in the bag along with a business card and thank you note. Nothing too crazy!

[@clarissadaniels269]

How did you hang the mirror from your tent

[@monicarazak]

I used the metal hooks that came with the mirror and hung those on the horizontal rods of my canopy tent! I definitely recommend the over-the-door mirror from Target!

[@Linallarii]

where do your source your satin fabric?

[@monicarazak]

Different places! I mostly go to thrift stores, find deadstock fabric on mood.com, and other second-hand online shops like A Thrifty Notion.

[@mikewilson9236]

I did it

[@jamiellamoses8253]

Hi Monica. I know this video of yours is 2 years old, and you might not see this message. Here goes... just in case you do see it:) What type of fabric is your banner and an awesome designed tablecloth ?

[@ChristinaSamantha]

new subbie here hello

[@monicarazak]

Glad you're here:)
