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

Welcome back to my channel! If you’re new here welcome I'm Emily the owner of Emily Paige Company ☺
In this week’s video, I’m taking you guys along with me for my first outdoor market of the year with German Village Makers Market in Columbus, Ohio. This market is the kick off to a busy market season and it was a FANTASTIC market to start the season. This market was extremely successful for me making it my highest sales market to date. I love to offer a variety of fun products to my customers when they shop with me in person and even offer special deals, market exclusives and first dibs on new products. As you guys can see, there’s so much prep that goes into every market. It’s really important to me to make a special shopping experience for shoppers who enter my booth. I had so much fun vlogging my market experience and taking you guys along with me for the day! I hope you enjoy watching!!! :)

I’m so grateful for you guys and just know if I could give every single one of you a hug… I totally would (so a virtual hug will do). Currently, as I’m posting this I have 1,812 amazing subscribers!
I hope you'll hang around on my channel to get to know me more & see more behind the scenes on markets and my life! My next video will be another Market Vlog with Vintage & Made market- Spring at the Round Barn on April 26th + 27th. In the meantime, I’ll be prepping and making more product to gear up for this market. It’s my first 10x20 booth of the season and you know me… I always go all out ;) see you in the next video!
About the Brand:
I launched EPC in the corner of my college bedroom in 2020 while being a full time college student. After I graduated, we decided to move to the city and I continued to grow my business full time in our tiny one bedroom apartment. In 2023, we officially moved into a 5,000 sq ft warehouse to continue to grow + expand! While EPC is primarily online we also vend at many pop up markets in Columbus, Ohio.
Here are a few fun facts about me ☺
✿ I graduated college in 2021 from Ohio University with a Bachelors in Community & Public Health.
✿ I'm a cat mom to 3- a calico named Ivy, a tortoise named Puff & another calico named opal
✿ I love reading mystery/thriller books & I'm a true crime junkie
✿ My favorite food is Macaroni and cheese

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 👍😊

[@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!!

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

[@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!

[@chburbsgeeser2768]

very organized and professional. Well done. It is not easy doing a booth at an event.

[@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.

[@didadubaiallam3181]

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!

@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

[@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!
