[@seejessletter]

The last few years, I've been doing commercial design and art work for brands and have had an online shop during that time...but I'm finally doing my first in-person pop-up shop and I'm so nervous! This series is extremely detailed and helpful. Thank you for providing the information!

[@happilyG]

Thank you 😊 I appreciate all of this 😍

[@monicarazak]

Thanks for watching:)

[@travelhumbly]

I make handmade makeup bags and brush rolls, with traveling in mind.

[@DWB1177]

I make handmaiden candles and bath time ritual products. I’m new and this is helping me realize I have more work to do. ❤

[@amandatyler6050]

Bulk sewing is no fun but definitely is a time saver! 💖🪡 this is a great tip

[@Scentfully]

I love love this video! I’ve been in business for a little over a year now (I make candles and melts), I’ll have to say the double boiler is the back breaker of candle making lol but I wanted to add that it is definitely easier to make the candles in bulk… exactly as you said it: set up each jar well before melting wax etc… thankfully for me my boyfriend gifted me a huge wax melter for from candle science for Christmas in 2021 and I have to say that literally saves me soooo much time (and it doesn’t kill my back lol). I literally fill it, turn it on and go straight into prepping my jars… last year I was making to order… this year I decided to make my full spring and summer collection so that I had on hand for shows, local stores and online orders. I spent three weeks making candles to last throughout the spring and summer season… which btw helps with freeing up more time to plan for fall and winter season… okay that’s my extra tip of the day lol keep up the fantastic work you’re doing girl 💕 p.s. also I definitely am slacking on content creation lol I’ve always been bad at social media but I’m currently working on that lol

[@chatryna]

I just saw your video and I am a fan! Your content was dense! I have been doing pop ups for several years and know all that you said is gold. But I not only watched the whole thing, I took notes. Anyone who takes these "tips" as instructions will be better off. I know I will.

[@Aa-ke9pp]

These pop up market series are the best. Please keep sending the tips! Appreciate your time

[@monicarazak]

Thanks so much:) Can't wait to start working on the next pop-up video in the spring!

[@JadaBstudio]

I hope to do some local pop ups next year. These video are so helpful 😊💕

[@monicarazak]

Glad the videos help!!

[@zuzuuscreations5570]

Hello, thank you for all these tips. I make sugar body scrubs and sewing projects.

[@fe1102]

Hi monicaaa! Love your vids and u make a good inspiration. I’m planning on doing pop ups next year but still nervous to do it 😅

[@monicarazak]

I'm glad my videos help! I was sooo nervous before my first pop-up, but trust me the experience will be totally worth it & you'll eventually be more excited than nervous!

[@talitjiang]

this is wonderfully informative! thank you 😊 I am a small business, making hand embroidered works, my special thing is micro crochet jewellery. I've been told my crochet looks like dried flowers, realism is what I aim for. It is very intensive work though. My one issue is marketing myself

[@starbrown1219]

Very good advice. I can see why you are successful. It’s all about knowing your customer.

[@monicarazak]

Thank you so much:)

[@rarestiitch]

[@booksandbeauty4381]

What type of cricket would you recommend for making stickers for clothes?

[@patrickwillis13]

I do custom sneakers. I'm, hopefully, doing an art event so I'm nervous. Selling custom sneakers that are made ahead of time is a bit tricky but these videos does help ease my nerves

[@mickiemccomic3806]

Crochet, im trying to stock up for like fall and winter but im looking into doing this for a living. My town has a market once a month but i dont feel ready for it. i tried before and epicaly failed lol.

[@brialo6016]

New to your channel, liked the videos, do you need a LLC for a pop up shop

[@notaddi3]

Hi Monica! Any chance you can tell me how much the candle materials cost and where you bought the ingredients from? 💡📌

[@monicarazak]

Hi!! I'm considering doing a comprehensive video on how much my materials and inventory costs:) I tend to get most candle materials from Makesy, Candle Science, & the thrift store!

[@danaebowman7558]

I make hand beaded earrings, like native american type... fringe, peyote stitch, etc. it takes a couple hours to a couple days for me to finish a pair of earrings depending on how focused and ambitious i am feeling lol

[@monicarazak]

Wow I’m sure they come out beautiful!

[@michelenemechek7942]

I make painted pickets. I sell them for 35 $ each. I sell 800-1500$ at each show. I luv doing shows. ( pop ups. ) I used to make American doll clothes. I’ve sold for years. I luv it. Luv your videos.

[@monicarazak]

[@ez2427]
