Small business owner, mother, marketer in tech
Let me paint you a picture of how it all began✨✨✨✨
Let's rewind to 2018, way before the chaos of the pandemic hit. Back then, I was just a young marketer trying to find my creative groove, so I decided to try making soy wax candles for my little Etsy store. After some serious trial and error, I finally got the hang of it. Things were going well until the pandemic hit, and I had to hit pause on my shop.
Fast forward to 2023, I've become a mom, and that creative itch is back. So, why not bring back the shop, right? Now that things are more stable, I've added new stuff like bookmarks, greeting cards, and tote bags. I moved away from Etsy, have spent countless hours tweaking my site, and even started selling at local markets. Now here I am, proud of how far I've come and excited for what's next.

Hey i love the tote bag how much was it? It looks like you can use it for college or something else ❤😊
Hey! I actually made it. This is my prototype so Im still figuring out a price for it. Definitely perfect for college because of all the space and compartments!
@@quiensoyshoppe that’s so cute and you’re very talented ❤️🫶🏽
Thank you so much!!! 😊
What size are your small jars and what size wicks and where did you order them?

Thanks for some great ideas! For me, I know that there are people who are too anxious or shy to ask for pricing and they will walk away to avoid that conversation. I will always have pricing signs because of the potential to miss those sales or just for knowing that I’m making some people more comfortable.
That makes sense! Ive always had it out bc IM that shy and anxious person but during the times I had no pricing signage I actually did better 😅 could be circumstantial tho. Buyer psychology is interesting!
Thank you for sharing these helpful tips, congrats on being a new mom! Looking forward to your next video 😊
Thank you!!! 🙏🏽😊
My next popup isnt until September 20 so I’ll film me checking people out then! For now I hope you talking about more of the organization and set up part of a popup checkout station ❤
Hi there, love your pop ups and seeing someone else selling various items at various price points. I am just getting started on my own small business but have a similar model. I am mainly online right now but planning on my first pop up soon. Your videos are inspiring! Do you have any recommendations or can you cover something about how you take orders and payment at your pop ups? Thanks for sharing your insights and experience:)
hii! thank you for your kind words. Excited for you and your first popup! A new video will go up at 9am August 17 that will talk about setting up your checkout station and some must haves so I hope you find it helpful!
is that 464 or 444 wax?
It’s 464 wax
Absolutely shitty on the organizer to not update you about the layout and not tell you where was best to park!
Seriously! The people running it work for the city so you would think they wouldve had a bigger heads up 😭
You can still use the pegboard by glueing the pegs into the hole and put/glue a wooden pug a bit under so the beautiful keychain part can be seen. I know its a lot of work but its a kinda a loss when you leave the keychains at home which you could have add unto your profit of the day.
The pegs that came with it are those metal ones BUT I could just buy wooden pegs to replace them 🤔 thank you for your help! And yeah I totally agree with it being a loss if I dont bring them. I did for this last popup but laid them on the table which seemed to be fine. Maybe they’ll do even better when I get those wooden pegs and can properly use my display
I like the positivity you kept even though you forgot your tent cover. ☺️
Thanks! 😅 it took a lot of patience that’s for sure! sometimes it’s better to just roll with the punches and make the best of the situation
First video I’ve seen of you but I really enjoyed the vibe of it ☺️ Also I really love the look of your booth 😍
Thank you for watching! Im glad you enjoyed it and my booth!!
Thanks for posting! Love your insights and everything you shared in this video. 😊
Thank you for watching! Im glad you enjoyed it!
Hey guys! What’s the biggest mistake you made at a popup? 😅 Ive made so many in the past…
I wear sandals year round, I wore them to a really cold market in march and focused on my freezing feet the whole time!
Nice video! How many of each scents of candles/sprays do you usually bring to the pop ups?
Thank you! It depends on the event. If I know there’s a good flow of traffic I will bring 3 of each and 4 of my most popular scents. If it’s a smaller place or an event Ive never attended and have low expectations for, I’ll bring 2 of each and three of my most popular. That for candles. As for my room sprays I usually bring 4 of each plus a tester.
Can't wait to see how the event went! Using that cricut scraper to smooth out your labels is so smart I am definitely going to use that!! Also, can you do a video on how you check ppl out? My first even i was getting so overwhelmed because a lot of ppl were at my table (which is good!) and it just seemed like it was taking a bit to push the orders thru my shopify POS app and making sure their payments went thru then also wrapping the candle up and putting it in the bag... does it just come with time or do you have someone with you to help?
I can definitely focus on that at my next popup! But yes, it definitely comes with time/testing what works best for you.
What kind of paper do you print the image on ?
I use a vinyl sticker paper!
Do be careful, I got heat stroke at my last market, and I was hydrating the whole time and in the shade. IT was just TOO hot.
Oh no! Glad you’re okay! But yes I definitely will take more precautions at my next popup!
I think your investment into your displays will really pay off. When I'm in a market, the aesthetics/branding pull me in first. Very glad that you managed to make profit! May I ask, did you start out your business with candles as the primary product, or at the very beginning you already had stationary as part of the vision? Just curious about your journey.
Thank you! I really love interior design and merchandising so changing up my displays or layout is so fun to me. I started out with candles with the idea that I would eventually expand!
you've become one of my favorite small business RUclips pages to watch. From one small candle company owner to another I wish you all the best luck and thank you for the calm comfy vibes you bring to craft to!! I have really considered flying to NY just to meet you and get a couple goodies!!✨💖
so cute!!!!! i was thinking of getting a cricut to make stickers too.. would you recommend :?
Definitely worth it! I find it much cheaper to sell and make a profit off of my stickers rather than purchase from a third party company. Also you can test out designs without committing to a large purchase
@@quiensoyshoppe thanks so much :D
Your whole setup and outlook were inspirational. What was your ballpark net profit after the 2nd show?
Thank you! 😊 each popup I aim to make $500 but obviously for smaller events like the one at the bar I mostly aim to at least make back the fee I paid + pay myself minimum wage per hour I work the event. Smaller events arent lucrative but it does allow you to meet the locals and can potentially offer other opportunities
so amazing, would love to know where you got your cloud like structure holding up the candles, such a neat looking display.
I got it from Etsy! Here's the listing: www.etsy.com/listing/1444184804/asymmetrical-wavy-collapsible-stand?
Great vlog! Any advice on how to find good markets to be a vendor for? You seem to find nice spots.
Thank you! I tend to follow local city/town social media accounts since they usually talk about whats happening in the area. Other times I ask other vendors or organizers will reach out to me
Hi,where did you get the stamper at? Lmbo the one candle was holding on😂😂😂😂
that candle did its thing 🤣 I got my stamp from etsy! You can get a large or small size and there's an option to purchase the ink as well. Here's the listing for reference: www.etsy.com/listing/1246446086/large-custom-stamps-or-small-custom?ref=yr_purchases.
Hey Ashley, you have the most beautiful products. 😍Try the Z booth layout at your next event! More people will fill inclined to enter your booth, I promise. ✌🏾&❤
Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤️ & Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely try that out next time!!
New subscriber! Thanks for sharing the ups and downs of vendor markets.
Thanks for the sub! Ofc thanks for watching 🫶🏽🤗
I use the same linen paper and I love it. Mine is called estate #9
It’s so nice!
Hello ! Can you tell me what paper for the labels are used ladies, thank u so much!!
It’s called estate 9! It’s a linen sticker paper
these videos are soooo valuable i love artists 😭😭🩷
Aww thank you!! 🙏🏽 i
This is so cute! I'm also starting a small business and needed this. I feel like I'm growing with someone. pls keep posting!
Aww thank you! We’re in this together 🫶🏽
I just stumbled across your channel and love your content. I’m a fellow maker myself in Massachusetts! I would love to know if you could let me know about your beautiful stands and where you for them from? I’m trying to elevate my table presence for summer markets and LOVE your displays 🥰
Welcome to the channel! So happy you're here <3 I got my new displays from Etsy but I also use Amazon and shop around at homegoods.

Thank you so very much! Literally have had 2 stands that wasn’t candle approved with the weight! But yours were stunning so thank you and I will check them out!! Praying many blessings over you and prosperity over your business! ❤️
Crying at the kid yelling😂 I’ve been so nervous to attend pop up’s that cost $150+ because the idea of not possibly selling but this was honestly the motivation I needed to tell me that it’s okay! So happy for you, love seeing your journey 🫶🏽
he was wild for that 😂 thank youu!!! 🫶🏽✨ Im happy I was able to help! It really is a risk every time you do a market but there’s always something to takeaway from any event
Im loving your vlogs! Great job at the markets! I have one coming up June 7 th here in DC, just a small one to get my feet wet..lol The first market I ever did I only made 20 dollars. Im glad I moved out of that area😂
Thank youu! 🫶🏽🥹 so happy you’re enjoying them! Location is EVERYTHING
I sent a message on Insta
Hey girly new to your channel omg how cool i love the way you set it up ❤ once upon a time i bought this candle or wax melter on facebook and i tried making a candle and i feel like i failed i even bought fragrance from hobby lobby it was the coffee fragrance and some wax and idk what i did wrong but it came out wrong lol ended up donating the wax melter thing since i basically ended up giving up lol and it was taking up space as I declutter and sometimes i feel like i should of tried again lol
Thank you!! You should do it! Start it out as a hobby and see if it’s something you want to make into a business. It takes a lot of testing of different types of waxes, wicks and vessels which can be costly and annoying tbh lol but once you find the recipe that works for you it’ll all be worth it
Hello I’m a new candle person and looking to vend places do you no anything and nice work on the selling the candles
Congratulations on your candle business! Are local to upstate ny? Or are you looking for general help on how to find events to vendor at?
Great video! I am a new candle maker in Rensselaer NY! Haven’t launched yet. Looking into events but just not ready. My name is My Little Angel Candles. Maybe we will meet at an event one day. Wish you well!
Ty! Oh nice!! Love that you’re local!!! Let me know if you have any questions about events to attend. My IG is @quiensoyshoppe & good luck with your candle business!
Congrats! Would love a vlog style video of your next pop up 😀
Thank you! I’ll try filming for this weekends popups!
I totally relate with balancing your fulltime job and your small business! Maybe for your next event document how you're setting up and taking down stuff, could be by photos or quick bullet points, it might you pinpoint what you'd like to improve or change for next time🙂
That’s a good idea! I have two popups this weekend so I’ll def try it then 🤔
Congrats on the great event!! That's awesome❤.
Tysm!! 🫶🏽✨
Cheers to the beginning of Market Season! I do market vlogs too and I’m so excited to watch more of your journey❤
🥂✨ thank you!! This will be my first spring/summer season so very excited for upcoming markets! & amazing! I’ll definitely check out your vlogs too!
Also where do you get your shelving displays?
From amazon! a.co/d/5jEI7VZ
Do you have an online store?
I do! It’s quiensoyshoppe.com
Happy your first event was a success! Can you make a Shopify tutorial? I’m struggling trying to add my listings.
Thank you! And I would love to help with that! I’ll make a video on it next 🫶🏽
You’re welcome!! Great! Thank you so much!!
