I did a pop-up at MADEWELL!! small business pop-up shop vlog, talking to customers, day in the life

WOW. What a dream. So honored that Madewell invited me to pop-up at their store in Hoboken in March this year! It wasn't the busiest pop-up ever, but it was definitely one for the books:) Can't wait to do more this year!

Something you could consider is maybe making a batch of the scented wax and cutting it into tiny cubes or slivers, to add to customer's orders? That way they can smell what your other candles smell like, and you don't need to add a vessel. Maybe even just adding the scent to a paper insert could work, like they do at perfume stores 🤔 But making something small for customers to smell is a great idea!

That is a beautiful thing for Madewell to do! Love big companies supporting small businesses

[@ashlee7464]

Doing my first pop up on Saturday! Feeling all the feels!

[@VerticalLedge]

YES! 100% get yourself taken care of before a big event is key. How fun watching this all come together. Thanks for sharing this! Can't wait to share on our IG.

[@49lucky]

This is so exciting plus I love your music. This year I'm going to do some farmers markets. Thanks to you. This looks so elegant.

[@Cousins.Creations.Co.]

I love watching these you are one of my biggest idols and I hope to grow as big as you I also would love to see more customer interactions

[@karamarieco]

How did you get started doing pop-ups in brick and mortar stores? Do you apply to them? Or do they approach you?

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so amazing, well done on the amazing opportunity ☺☺

[@FaithfulJournalingCo]

Absolutely loved all of the colors of the scrunchies you had! So pretty and perfect for spring! 😍🌷

[@joydiannne]

Enjoying how your videos are getting more and more creative and colorful each time! Love you, dear Monica! 🖤

[@beingemma]

So awesome people come out to see you and your business! I loved the outfit! Nice that they didn't charge you anything. I did a pop up at Faherty and did have to pay 20% of sales. I have noticed that the in store pop ups I do not sell as much or have as much traffic. I think it is just that people are coming in for the clothing store and are not in the mind set to purchase something different. That being said, sounds like you did really good regardless of the slow traffic which is awesome. Great staff always make it awesome, which I also experienced.

I’m doing a pop up next week so excited

[@monicarazak]

[@vavart25]

So excited to watch!!!!

[@nesa11904]

Hello Monica 👋🏼 First of all I love love your shop its tooo cute! If you don’t mind I have a question. How much Inventory did you have before you felt comfortable enough to sell at your first pop up shop and launch your web site. I make silver jewelry and have zero clue how many pieces I should have before I start selling? Any advice Is appreciated 😊

[@demeahjanae22]

you are so inspiring!

[@ladywhytecraftingnook8913]

It's always a pleasure looking at your videos. Always something to take away from them. Thanks for sharing. I have a question. Would your dad be willing to make and sell that scrunchie holder he made you? I love the size of it and how easy it is to set up and break down.

[@AlihassanAlihassanrao]

Beautiful

5:17: Hello, thank you for sharing your pop-up experience at Madewell. I noticed that you do not have prices listed…stickers or display signs?

[@monicarazak]

I'm actually working on redoing how I display prices! I want to have small displays next to each of the products, I feel like when I had one price sign, nobody looked at it lol

[@CapriceSoulsister67]
