what it's like doing a pop-up shop in NYC! pop-up shop vlog, holiday market, small business owner

[@caitiumsdums]

Weird they limited what you can sell. As a buyer I might not like the tote bag 3 stalls down, but might love yours.

[@amandaperry9399]

We have a local market and they do this too, in a much smaller town. I will say, it’s nice if you’re on the other end of it - having some product exclusivity.

[@shaiday]

Ghats totally normal thing that markets do

[@CatKeleghanReacts]

Omg girl it was SO nice meeting you! Thank you for including Cuul and your support! Hope to see you at another one!

[@laurenlaflor]

I see why the pouches were popular, so cute!! 🎀 I’d totally love to buy one myself if/when you decide to make more 😭

[@ChantelleArts]

it's lovely to hear the market went well and you're getting repeat customers, that's amazing!! ❤

[@unaMa-Mi-LaNUSA]

I love that you share the work of other colleagues, I love the corsets❤❤, the mealncokico stikers omg so much creativity, your attitude wow. thank you that's more and more

[@latebloomer9839]

It's amazing how you're interacting with customers and other vendors with so much excitement and cute giggles. My social battery would've go down in less than 10 minutes 😅

[@SimplyOaks]

I love how you support and show other small businesses

[@I_love_being_me.x]

Love love love the vlog monica. Keep them coming. Literally my fix. I always look forward to your videos. ❤😊

[@monicarazak]

thank you so much:)

[@starbrown1219]

How nice for you to meet others like you and those who follow you on KZbin. Looked like fun. What a cool venue.

[@monicarazak]

it was a great experience! thanks for your constant support!!

[@MorgansCreativeLife]

You’re so brave for doing that alone ❤ sending love and I hope you’re flourishing 🎉

[@pallor17]

It was a great idea that you had to sell the items you couldn't bring and ship them out later. I will put that one on the back burner in case that ever happens to me. Smart girl.

[@ninirossau2304]

it is always nice to try new places. they can surprise you. both my old and new markets surprised me. my leather ornaments didnt sell but the gimmicky star wars were a huge success. I recklessly promised some of my customers that next year I will do star wars, Dr. who, Harry Potter and minecrafts. it is not the direction I had planned for my shop, but this is what sells! And it is so nice to make friends who understand your kind of crazy!

[@jynstardust]

Don't do all those copyrighted items! Yeah it looks like good, quick money unless you get caught!

[@zodiacgoodes]

I love how you shouted out other vendors and asked if it was okay to film. Putting that on my to do list once I start pop ups! Thanks for sharing and congrats on another successful market! 😊❤

[@monicarazak]

I LOVE shouting out small businesses because I just feel like they don’t get the attention they deserve! Thanks so much:)

[@jaalawhyte511]

Hi Monica, greetings from Antigua 🇦🇬across the Seas. Always love your pop ups. I hope one day I can get some advice from you personally. Your caring attitude lead me to check out all of your videos. I'm a new subscriber, about 2 weeks in. Praying for your success.

[@carolannh48]

Love your pop up videos! You can get so much more for your pouches...I sew...people don't realize the work that goes into them. Do assembly line sewing if you have to make them!💞

[@Cutiedoki]

I had my very first popup vendor market experience yesterday and I had a blast even though the weather was crappy coz it rained the entire day! I did do like your mirror thingy and it was a hit! Thank you for sharing!

[@monicarazak]

I also did an event yesterday in the rain! wasn't ideal, but it was still a good experience:) hope you continue doing pop-ups!

[@dd-pv6gh]

[@IvankaEvans]

I make business cards as well as selling my handmade products online so i go to pops up to make other connections as well as making my brand known.

[@michelejarrell4851]

[@monicarazak]

[@Upgradevee]

I love your videos! ❤ thanks for sharing your journey

[@EarthlyJewelsTV]

Ooh i miss new york! I grew up in jersey and loved going out to mew york city! I wanted to ask if you could give me a suggestion on a really chesp vlogging camera like $100 or so… im turning 50 this Friday and im pondering on re-starting a vlog here in Colorado for my small biz. Ive been trying to get serious about growing it and i think this is the year to finally make it come true. Would you consider mentoring 😊 you are very inspiring! Im also Filipino background as well.

[@petalss5325]

I wonder what kind of stationary you would design :-) Love the video as always!

[@GleyciRodrigues1]

I loved the Brazilian song in your video ❤️

[@monicarazak]

They're my fave

[@debora3969]

I was about to ask if you are brazilian! 👍i am ! Good luck ! You’re brave

[@MinecraftHeros]

Hi Monica, how do you find pop up locations ? I am in weehawken Nj . Please help

[@AssiaZanat]

What the name of the pop up shop please ?

[@jynstardust]

It's so odd you worry about the copyright stuff with music, but the video is full of copyrighted items for sale. I'm surprised a market in NYC had so many copyrighted items available. Don't forget names like 'Froot Loops' is copyrighted/trademarked.

[@monicarazak]

Only copyrighted music is an issue for monetization on KZbin:) other products are fine!

[@jynstardust]

​@@monicarazak yes I understand that, my point is you are following KZbin rules but risk getting in trouble for copyright infringement in your products or someone else's if shown. I'm just saying be careful as companies do look for their material being used illegally and they can see it if you put it in videos. I wouldn't name a product Froot Loops (even if you use that scent) or any candy name, they are all protected names. Just make sure you call products something else. Don't give companies any reason to look into your stuff.

[@jynstardust]

​@@monicarazakyou also showed a car freshener that uses TS, they shouldn't be selling that at all! I just saw a video of a woman's entire Etsy shop shut down right before Christmas because she had Taylor Swift items! Just don't do it and don't show the evidence on KZbin, you might get that shop in trouble. I know you are being supportive but please rethink supporting them selling illegal items!

[@ridakhan958]

it's lovely to hear the market went well and you're getting repeat customers, that's amazing!! ❤

[@monicarazak]

So grateful:)
