I think you need a little candle image with a QR code that says “sorry, sold out, buy it online” to put in your display when you don’t have any things left!

[@mmelanyxo]

Monica, I was just thinking. Is there a way you could place an order for people on the spot? This way, if you are out of a certain scent, they can pay, and you can just ship it to them? I feel like you wouldn't lose as many customers, and also wouldn't have to stress about running out of stock. I know you give them your card, but I feel like most people probably won't take the time to order because they get busy/forget.

[@shaiday]

Yess definitely have a preorder system in place so if you run out they can place an order and ship ☺️☺️

[@joyb1299]

100%

[@moonchildtrendz]

I know this isn’t the most important part of the video but I LOVED when you said you don’t mind being confrontational about your needs/wants. That’s an amazing quality to have as a person. Anyways, thanks for sharing!

[@monicarazak]

we LOVE productive confrontation😅

[@salinah.1220]

Just want to say that I LOVE that you show how you communicate with your customers. I learn a lot from them. Since I have social phobia/anxiety, talking to people does not come naturally to me. And it is entertaining to watch too. So thank you!

[@EverydayStevieee]

Yes!!

[@monicarazak]

thank you so much!! took lots and lots of practice:)

[@sarahelizabeth8908]

Same! I started using a singular greeting & explanation of my booth/products/mission like she does with each customer and it has been a game changer!

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

Hi Monica! If you got wax on your banner, lay a paper towel over the waxy spot and go over the paper towel with a warm iron. The iron will melt the wax and the paper towel will absorb it! Good as new!!! Tina ❤

[@Meyersci]

I enjoy seeing you interact with your customers with your professional, warm and chatty spiel.

[@elizabethm8610]

Your vlogs are just the best. Also, it's great to see you selling more and more. Been following you for quite a whole now and it's great to witness all this growth❤❤❤

[@ChelseaLeighJewelry]

love your videos! I am a maker also, so I understand the STRUGGLE that back-to-back markets bring. Idk if you do this, but I take pre orders at my events if there is something I am sold out of. I always offer free shipping on pre orders placed at my event. that usually closes the sale for me!

[@monicarazak]

I'll definitely do this at future markets!!

[@coachcarenfern]

congratulations on empty shelves it means you’re doing something very well 😊 I so love this for and your business 🎉

[@monicarazak]

thanks so much!!!

[@wholesalejewelrymarket]

It's so nice to see you in the pop-up store talking with a big smile. I'm rooting for your success. 😊😊

[@monicarazak]

thank you so much!!

[@LorienGreen]

The second you talked about how you like doing your market alone, I subscribed. MY PEOPLE! I love my family too but am sooo independent with my side ventures. ❤

[@christinethecrafter9662]

I love seeing people like you doing their dream job/passion. Whether its small or big for other people to consider, the important thing is how you feel❤❤😊

[@bygabrielachristine]

Absolutely obsessed with you and your channel! You have finally pushed me to record my first KZbin video getting ready for my market next week! I am so excited that you uploaded today! Thank you for sharing and vlogging, it has been so entertaining and inspiring! ❤

[@monicarazak]

YAY so happy! thanks so much for watching! you go girl💕

[@Epiffany3]

[@ToldByBri]

The pink tent is everything 💚

[@monicarazak]

[@Julzeenx]

Omg here! I was just binge watching your videos 💗

[@EverydayStevieee]

Same!!

[@PremilaPatel-g9h]

Christmas Markets!! Candles tend to sell very well around this time....

[@leonormarrero162]

I enjoy watching your daily small business day. I am learning so much to take care of myself. Thank you for your channel. 🤗

[@shaiday]

You are truly blessed with such an amazing market places… i would love to see how you choose and pick which to do… how you go about searching it.. the platform you use to find market organizers and process of applying for it….

[@monicarazak]

I'm lucky that there are so many good ones near where I live! I'll def talk more about it in an upcoming video:)

[@shaiday]

I have been doing market for almost 3 years now but i never actually recorded myself i have always thought of it but your video is definitely giving me that push to do it ❤️❤️

[@monicarazak]

definitely go for it🤗

[@MamaCat0121]

I like the Market recap segment! Thamks for sharing all the things you've learned ❤

[@civilizeddiva]

3:02-3:06: Investing in your business is a significant decision. What specific differences should we be looking for?

[@JeanVMI]

Fun!!!🎉 Congratulations

[@carolannh48]

Loved the video and your dress!!! Can't wait for the next video!😊

[@SewFelicia]

[@itsvori]

I love the recap segment ❤

[@ynieto4446]

Just started watching and had to say... I love your hair. ❤

[@monicarazak]

haha omg thank youuu!

[@ynieto4446]

absolutely no egg head ❤

[@haydennorris9033]

Hey Monica! Have been following for a little while. Have learned so much in helping my small business. I'm looking into getting a serger soon and trying to decide on what to get on a budget. Do you like your lock brother or would you have gotten the other identical looking one? Thank!

[@ChantelleArts]

you've done amazing! honestly this must've been pretty tiring though as well, my social battery would've gone in the first hour 😂

[@anissabrookins-widman1286]

I love your videos!❤

[@monicarazak]

thank you so much!!

[@ericacha4580]

I love this and am considering doing this. Would you say it’s possible to live off of doing markets as a full time thing?

[@monicarazak]

you definitely could...but it would be pretty physically tiring! I definitely recommend doing a mix of markets and online sales

[@ericacha4580]

@@monicarazak Thank you. I've been struggling with online sales. Do you have a recommendation on what platform to go on? Thanks again and love watching your vidoes.

[@Sew_OzzyWar_Made_This]

This is so great!! Do you have any pop up in NYC anytime soon??? 🤔🧐

[@monicarazak]

I don't think I'm doing any nyc ones this year unfortunately:( I'll try for next year!!

[@Sew_OzzyWar_Made_This]

@@monicarazak no worries!! Online it is!! 😅😬

[@Anneshroff]

Where dod you get that Scrunchie display, I’ve been looking for a similar one for ages!

[@megachicago]

I know you get busy with customers but, I would take down your displays that have only a few items on them as you go. That way, what you still have to sell would look more plentiful. I like the comment to take orders on the spot to ship when you get inventory replenished. You'll be packed up before you know it!

[@fashionisapassion]

Where is your scrunchie dowl tree from?

[@coachcarenfern]

her dad built it 🎉

[@fashionisapassion]

@@coachcarenfern looks like it’s time for my dad to build me one 😅

[@sharondapatrice]

Where did you get the fabric with your shop name on it?

[@chandelle2786]

Hi @monica can you please teach us how to build a online store

[@MagicbyCyn]

I started doing markets in July of this year and they have been very successful but I struggle with eating during the events as I get shy to eat in front of customers. It’s gotten to the point where I get crazy sick from not eating 😭

[@monicarazak]

oh no! maybe protein bars or a smoothie might work!

[@KimSmith-ll5gh]

How do you find your markets?

[@monicarazak]

I attended all the markets as a customer in the past and asked some of the vendors at those past markets for the market organizers contact info!

[@Jessicaakathesoaplady]

@@monicarazak I’m moving NJ in July of next year and I was wondering how to go about it ❤

[@funnzypink]

Do you still work full time elsewhere and this part time?

[@jenniferlewis9864]

💜💙

[@tinaciancone4810]

Hi how are you doing today ❤

[@monicarazak]

great!! and you?
