I made over $1800 at my first outdoor market! | making candles, re-branding, craft vendor set up

After weeks of preparing for my first outdoor popup market the day is finally here! I stressed so hard about this day but it was thankfully a HUGE success. Thank you for watching!
About me✨
Hi! I'm Ashley, the owner of Quien Soy Shoppe. I've had my shop since 2019 but was short-lived because of the pandemic. After having my baby in March 2023, I realized I needed a creative outlet so in July of the same year I decided to bring back my business. This time around I decided not to stop at making candles but instead to get into other crafts like magnetic bookmarks, greeting cards, and more recently room sprays! I'm excited to record my journey and take you through how I run my small business!

[@ashleyjones9928]

Congratulations!

[@quiensoyshoppe]

Thank you! 😊

[@PurpleHam]

That is amazing! I don’t know how you wing things because my anxiety would be going through the roof if I did that 😅 You are amazing!

[@quiensoyshoppe]

Oh, my anxiety was thru the roof 🤣 but no matter how much I sketch and plan out my display I always end up doing something else. Aww thank you! 🥹🥰

[@TreisiGomez]

Hey girly new to your channel omg how cool i love the way you set it up ❤ once upon a time i bought this candle or wax melter on facebook and i tried making a candle and i feel like i failed i even bought fragrance from hobby lobby it was the coffee fragrance and some wax and idk what i did wrong but it came out wrong lol ended up donating the wax melter thing since i basically ended up giving up lol and it was taking up space as I declutter and sometimes i feel like i should of tried again lol

[@quiensoyshoppe]

Thank you!! You should do it! Start it out as a hobby and see if it’s something you want to make into a business. It takes a lot of testing of different types of waxes, wicks and vessels which can be costly and annoying tbh lol but once you find the recipe that works for you it’ll all be worth it

[@SwaziiPlays]

Just curious you have two melters, I see the one that's tagged what's the other one?

[@quiensoyshoppe]

It’s a 4.5L and I got it from Amazon. Heres the link! amzn.to/3WrV2jr

[@SwaziiPlays]

@@quiensoyshoppe thank you so much!!

[@shopjuenethia]

That's amazing! To make $1850 in sales, did you bring Double that amount in inventory?

[@quiensoyshoppe]

I actually had just enough 😅 I thought 5 of each scent for my large and small sizes would be enough. I have maybe 1 or 2 of each scent left and I have a total of 12 scents for my core line and 4 with my spa line. I couldve brought way more totes, pillar candles and stationery but I guess i know better for next time lol

[@AlyssaPedroza]

Wow that’s so awesome! What was the booth fee?

[@quiensoyshoppe]

It was $150! Pretty high but well worth it. They did amazing with marketing.

[@quiensoyshoppe]

They also allowed me to use one of their 6 foot tables for free which was a nice bonus!

[@AlyssaPedroza]

Definitely worth it! Congrats!

[@quiensoyshoppe]

Thank you! 😊

How do you go about renting a booth? I'm looking into starting my own small art business and would love to do booths with the nice weather coming but don't know how to ❤️
