Market Day Vlog 🌈 328 SALES! 😱 Day in the Life as a Small Business Owner

[@SergeantSudsLaundryPowder]

Hi from Michigan❣️ I just wanted to share... I hot glued magnets onto the back of my top front banner, then just magnet it up thru the tent... no bungee cords, easy peasy... ❤❤❤ Looks Great 👍😊

[@ws3200wmu]

I also sell clothes. I use big duffel bags to transport my stock. Can fit 20-25 pieces in a bag. Keeps them from getting dirty while loading in and out. Also protects from weather as the bags are water resistant.

[@meetthread]

You totally deserve the success. We can see the planning, the thought and dedication you put into your business. I love how you always do a previous set up in the warehouse. It definitely makes setting up at the markets easier and faster. Way to go! ❤

[@emilypaigecompany]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Your comment truly made my whole day!!

[@caitlinware5723]

I just adore you!! You're so humble and encouraging and the wealth of knowledge you share with other small businesses is unmatched. Thank you for everything you contribute to the small business world! So, so proud of you!!

[@emilypaigecompany]

Thank you for your kind words 🥹 you made my entire day!!

Thank you so much for the transparency and breakdown of what you do and did to prepare.

Hey there! Great vlog! I’m a small business owner based near Nashville and I’m originally from a town about and hour away from Columbus. So happy I found your page!!❤

[@gabrielebroom383]

Great job. If I sold items. This would be the way I would like to sell items. No worries on lost packages. I love your videos. So refreshing 😊

[@emilypaigecompany]

Thank you for watching!! I love doing markets so much it’s such a fun experience to see shoppers interacting with products!

[@mahanoor3493]

So proud of you girl! You worked hard and it shows ♥️

[@joanwillison9922]

10 x your booth fee is your minimum goal!!!! Wow I am impressed. I wish.

[@emilypaigecompany]

going back to when I first started markets in 2021 I feel like that’s what I would constantly hear “x10 booth fee makes it a good market”. My min goal is different for every market but this one is x10! I always like setting goals for markets!

[@dubadcreations9310]

watching from barbados.... super proud of ya... thanks for sharing....

[@lisarickards3657]

Ahhhhmazing as always!! Love mom 😘

[@emilypaigecompany]

Love ya mom!!!

[@roosgramma9125]

I love watching your videos. I have done what we call craft fairs. I have to ask how do you handle people who steal from your booth. It wasn’t a big problem but it did happen frequently when I did them.

[@emilypaigecompany]

Unfortunately, it’s just something that comes with doing in person events. We can only see so much but obviously if we were to see it I would say something. It sucks but it’s always a possibility!

[@vanessajung5525]

Looks so beautiful the way you decore it, congratulations!!! 🎉🥰

[@emilypaigecompany]

Thank you Vanessa! :)

[@Bmoore126]

I love the perspective of the camera in the tent. Congrats on your highest sell day

[@emilypaigecompany]

It was so cool to watch back the footage! I def want to film more from that angle. Thank you for watching!! :)

[@Theneedleartnook]

Congratulations love!!! You are inspiring me to start markets again. Only thing is in Miami markets are not as abundant as the rest of the country. But I’m gonna give it a go again. 🥰

[@emilypaigecompany]

[@kstock8271]

Newbie here. Would love a video of how you got started...Basically you're background of starting a business. I know you mentioned other social platforms, but I'm not on there!

[@emilypaigecompany]

Welcome!!🥰 that has been highly requested so I will definitely make a video on how I got started!! 💖

[@BanditBunn]

This is amazing!!!! Your booth looked absolutely lovely and so inviting! I feel like I so need that jumpsuit for my markets! Is it in your shop or where did you get it?!

[@emilypaigecompany]

Thank you so much! 🥰 literally the best comment to get is how inviting my booth looks 🤣🫶🏼 I actually sell them at markets & they sold out. I’m hoping to restock and add them to my website since they did way better than I thought!

[@theambrizfam]

Any tips for someone who is just starting out? And doing their first market, and what is the best quantity of each product is best when starting out at a market.

[@emilypaigecompany]

I would say start small so you're not sitting on a bunch of inventory! This question is so hard to answer because every market is different and there's so many factors when figuring out how much to bring with me.

[@theambrizfam]

@@emilypaigecompany Thank you so much. I would love all the advice you can give. I would love to pick your brain on this!

[@sternaferreira]

Wow. Great job

Hi Tina! I’m doing good today how are you? 🥰

[@tinaciancone4810]

@emilypaigecompany I'm good thanks for asking

[@ndcINC]

girl as a reseller but also a supply chain manager with a masters you should NOTTT be sharing all of this!! share your journey but don't share your best sellers, numbers, etc. people will copy you and it seems like you are on track to making the next best anthro/free people. keep that knowledge in house so you can use it to grow. that said this video was awesome & so r u :)

[@emilypaigecompany]

Thank you so much!! I love going back and reflecting on what sold the best at markets bc I have so many different products. I think I'm going to stop sharing my average order value. I think people are confusing it and assuming I make a very high amount at markets. I love reflecting on my total # of sales & orders. Thank you for your feedback!! I hope you're loving the market content on here :)

[@jadeenglish5255]

Your fucking sad 😂😂😂 who says that shit

[@sonicmoore6196]

I agree!!! In a business world please never share your ideas and protect your company. Don’t trust anyone

[@Cre8tivemshell]

Omg I’m in Columbus too!!!! Just followed you on instagram. Do they have markets there often? I have a hard time finding any.

[@emilypaigecompany]

Honestly, I would say Columbus is such a hot spot for markets like Chicago and Nashville. There are sooo many here! All of the market I’m doing this year, their apps have closed for the year. This market specifically their apps open in Jan through Feb for the whole year!
