Figuring shipping out has been one of the most challenging parts of owning a small business by far.

[@Kurt634]

You put so much love into your packaging. You've inspired me to do the same. Hope your business is doing well. 💗

[@sang2588]

I did not realize how much work you have to put in for a small business owner. Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@daricezdrazil7399]

Thank you for your videos. They are not only inspiring but educating and very helpful. I share your videos with my husband. We are working on getting my store up and running, and with very little income it's hard. So little by little. But I've been making and selling soap for over 5 years. Trying different packaging and finding some were, well let's just say I was disappointed. Now I am finding and doing many different ideas and created one that suits my style and brand. You both are inspirational. Thank you.

[@bellaitalianrose]

Thank you so much for sharing this information! I love you guys!! You have given me some very helpful hints for many aspects of my soap business. I don't have the sales like you do, but I appreciate contributing to the other small soap making businesses out there! I'm in the U.S. in Whittier, CA. Hugs to you guys!

[@DebbieHorne-kt2ub]

OMG you guys are both so precious!!! The most professional but personal packaging I have ever seen and I am soooo fussy!!!!

[@papiapaulsoap]

Thank you... you have no idea how much you have helped me and still a consistent inspiration to me for soaping! Could I just say that I love you so much and really admire you and your enthusiasm and skills ❣️

You are so sweet! Thank you for the kind words 🥹

Just ordered this label printer! Can't wait to use it. Thanks for the recommendation! 🥰

Thank you so much for all of your tips!

[@NeptuneIntuition]

I’m just starting myself and find your videos very helpful! Keep going! Sales will pick up again, just keep going!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

I think so too! Just a lull ☺️

[@Ash-dp7tm]

Love how far this channel has come. Do you use your hp printer to print products labels at home? Or do you get them printed from online labels.

[@Sol12lua]

Deus Abençoe os dois! Muito lindos🥰 Belo trabalho! PARABÉNS 👏👏👏

[@christina413]

Thank you for sharing your process!! 💓 may sales keep racking up!! 📊

Your videos are very informative. Thank you for sharing!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Thanks so much!

[@starbrown1219]

There’s a lot of steps for packaging. I know. Very informative.

[@Ryan_H22]

Cool video! I sell small parts I make on eBay and Etsy and you can never have too many printers, LOL! Currently I have a Samsung laser for packing lists, Canon ink jet for shipping labels and two Zebra direct thermals with different label sizes for "Thank you" stickers, fun little pictures, etc. I'm planning on ditching the inkjet for another direct thermal for shipping labels when my batch of inkjet shipping labels is gone and the one you have here looks like it could be nice and much cheaper than the Zebra. Thanks!

[@1019buster]

I am a new sub. I love you content. I also make soap and sell through etsy. You are so lucky to have help. I work alone

[@georgia_mccx]

Sorry to hear sales have been slow! Your products are amazing quality & it said nothing about your business. I imagine it's just people not thinking of bath products in the summer that's all 💛

[@NANCYB004]

❤Beautiful Packaging

[@georgewind6308]

Serious good content as always, pretty honest and good attention to the detail, very good synchronized couple in business and in private life, all the best for both of you, cheers!

Great helpful video

[@carolp5993]

Thanks so much!!! The labeling, packaging, etc is so beautiful. How do you make it so cost effective? Im so new at this and trying to cut costs

[@pennyarizzio2824]

OH MY GOODNESS.. such a nice video. Where did you get your soap boxes?

[@tkhcompany]

Love this video, where did you get those wire baskets that holds your inventory? @ 1:14 in the video

[@brandonhenderson6467]

What boxes are these I looked online and I couldn't find them? Just started in this business, you've been extremely helpful.

[@aliciamasterson9406]

Where do you get the shrink wrap and boxes? Also, you're business and work ethic is very admirable!!

[@paigegray5776]

Do you have a video on how you designed your soap boxs on cricut?

[@H03dom28]

I was wondering what kind of material do you use?

[@amandajames189]

Would you pretty please teach how you make boxes with the cricut!?

[@lifestayl-st8gt]

hey I'm from Egypt and I want to say you I love you All to the make it♥️

[@juamiglio]

Is there a video that explains the change in branding? I looked but maybe Ixm just missing it. What was the reason, thought process....etc?

[@nicolebyers5266]

Can you add your bath bomb box to design space for purchase

[@kaaayl11]

unfortunately with the economy it seems like less people are buying less non essential items (like luxury soap) :( im on the same boat

[@bridget2962]

My soaps are beautiful but still no sales with Etsy. It was the wrong time to start this business I guess.

[@jadenbeasley7881]

Hello lovely!!! Where did you get the shelves from?

[@moiraesfate1]

Wow, my packaging isn' tnearly this cool. I think I need to upgrade.

[@Terrilyn_Austen]

Why did you decide to stop shrink wrapping your soap?

[@JehovahNissi1557]

So how find out how to the boxes thx

[@beccahargis2936]

Could you do a video about Cricut and how you make boxes? I’ve been struggling with this for a while. Thanks.

[@beccahargis2936]

Just found your video. Thanks.

[@MorganBee211]

Hey how do you take cash at farmers markets?

[@BeccaL2016]

I'm selling some stuff on eBay here and there, I keep Amazon packages and I use them to ship whatever I sold..

[@bridget2962]

Sales are very bad because people aren’t buying luxury products as much because they need to pay for food and gas first. Hang in there hon. You have a good thing going.

[@jessiedesena5687]

Hi! I saw that you were able to print different labels on the same page on online labels. Can you make a video or tell me how you did that?

[@1karenelizabeth]

She is probably using maestro which comes free with an online labels purchase. It is super easy to use! (I am a professional graphic designer... and I love maestro for labels!) It is so much easier to use! The feature you would be looking for is multi label.you just import your various templates, viola. Done.

[@jessiedesena5687]

@@1karenelizabeth funny thing is that I think I asked someone on the online labels and said we couldn't this was a while back and now we can. It will be a great time consuming for me than wasting labels 🤣🤣

[@JerikaZimmerman]

What karen said! But I’ll do an in depth video at some point showing the steps.

[@jessiedesena5687]

@@JerikaZimmerman thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@miriamswellspring]

Hi Jessica! I use online label's maestro program. When you're in the label design part, you can click "multi design" on the left hand side of the page. From there, you can create as many new designs as can fit on a sheet. It's super easy! It may take a little playing around to get used to how it all works, though.

[@henhousebathco]

Sales are sooooo slow this month. Thanks for the excellent tips for shipping!

[@JerikaZimmerman]

They really are!! 😩

[@whitepetalspearlssoap9836]

That specific thermal printer says its discontinued on amazon.

[@nicolebyers5266]

I just bought one directly from munbyn mine is white

[@curtis9341]

My feedback is this video does not fit with the rest of your videos. I’ve watched all your videos this one is really off brand. I know your attached to the bear but quench by itself is a better brand. Like your branding without the bear for your farmers markets is spot on. If you just carried it though on the website and Etsy. Don’t forget to push what makes u different (hemp soap). Keep it up you guys are awesome!
