@@MusicLegendIX hope you had a great Christmas - here’s to a fruitful 2025!

@@lindasholberg there is a lot to do for one person, so prioritising the revenue generating (and profitable!) streams is so important. Very glad you take value from the videos - happy new year 💕

@@kerrygearin3910 hello yes they can if they’ve got questions about your products! If you have custom options that’s Defs something to shout about, even adding into messaging from people who have already bought. We recommend doing monthly drops because the algorithm loves it - I’d say retailers probably don’t have the time to proactively check product ranges every single month, especially if they haven’t bought from you, BUT that’s why it’s a perfect thing to stick in a monthly newsletter to all your leads and retailers. Regular product drops is a great way to show future potential for retailers so it’s win win.

Wow! Thanks so much. Also love your guidance on having clients write about their customization experience with us

@@themodestmuslimuk woohoo we love to teach. Anything you really want to know?

@ any videos on Shopify integrations

@@CandidFounders thanks we opened a Faire account this week after combing through your content and placed our first order

@@natashad1272 thank you! So glad you found it useful :)

Thanks so much! We’ve for sure seen a massive difference in what we sell out of first by organising the collections online - someone has to do this daily during Christmas! But we are now wrapped up it was the teams last day before Xmas break!! 🎄

@@CandidFounders Wishing you and yours a lovely Merry Christmas and all the wonderful Holidays this season 🎄☃❄

We were limited on what we could do with the space as John Lewis provided all the stand space, and we had two weeks notice for this spot so it was a last minute thing! But we think good experience but we are going to focus on wholesale and distributed channels which are much more profitable! 😅

Have a decent product, and a presence whether that is website or shop front. It's a very simple form to fill out so there isn't much you can do to get approved - I recommend applying through our referral links as we know brands have got approved quicker that way, and then keep applying every couple of months, there is a big waitlist.

@CandidFounders But dear our brand doesn't have any website we offer direct to the retailers offline can we use our instagram account here?

Always great to do a purge on apps! Too many can slow down your website/be unnecessary cost, but if you are getting good return on investment from them then they can be worth their weight in gold! Let us know if you end up using any!

@@kerrygearin3910 you’re super welcome! Always trying to be useful, let us know if there are any topics you’d like us to cover :) Lucy

@@BethanJohn good luck with the launch on faire! How has it been going so far? Faire take our word for it / I’m sure if you were adding in extortionate postage costs they’d question it, we’ve never had to upload proof other than the tracking number. Quite possibly the algorithm has estimates based on weight of order and courier and would flag any shipping costs that don’t align with that. But that’s my assumption. No news on the tracking info, would love for it to happen. I feel certain aspects of development have slowed a bit, for example we wanted separate user log ins for all team members and that took quite a long time to deploy! But they do get there. Let me know if you have any other questions :)

No worries! Yeah we’ve found that weekly is a good cadence for newsletters. For onboarding flows you can afford to go a bit closer together but yes eventually you’re going to annoy people if you go super regular! The other mistake is going the other way and emailing a few times and then giving up!

Hiya, yes we offer a range of services which you can view at www.candidfounders.com

Yes we always recommend keeping an eye on orders, if you're getting loads of tiny orders then the 0 MOQ is detrimental, but if you get 1 now and then, the wider benefit of having a 0 MOQ is great for the algorithm. We also switch off 0 MOQ nearer xmas as we know people are using the platform for their xmas shopping!

@ thank you and its ridiculous for these people to abuse the system. They treat faire as etsy or amazon just because they got free shipping.

@@TunaYoney If you believe they are buying your products and not re-selling them as per fares terms and conditions, you can report them to Faire.

We have kind of already done our sales for Christmas across wholesale as it goes a lot sooner for retailers, we did a big sale over summer during the faire market, we also did bigger discounts on any retailers who pre-ordered our christmas range ahead of time, but we are now in normal mode, we might do a bit of a sell off at the end of the year but because sales are so strong at the moment we don't do any wholesale promotions above and beyond our normal tiers (10% off £1,000+ kind of vibe). By the way our content will slow down now, unfortunately we have had a bereavement in the family so I have been off work and Andy has been focussing on Bare Kind now we are in peak, but once I am back to it I can do a full de-brief on how xmas is going! do stay in touch, I am online just not filming anything right now, good luck with peak!!

hello! I have actually done a video on this recently so please do check it out and hopefully it shows you in the video so you can follow along! ruclips.net/video/3sTtl-QYCzY/видео.htmlsi=LXNDiwPCbrB2F_vh

@@elizabethfacundo thank you for the feedback, will adjust on future videos

@@Usmantalk19900 hi sorry I’m not sure I understand what your question is?

They are few and far in between now, you don't automatically get one once signed up and they only seem to be available for brands doing big sales, they don't have a process for applying for one it seems they cherry pick brands now, as it's such a saturated marketplace

Do you have a shop front? Think they usually want to have proof of business via website or photo of store front, unless they have updated their policies. It's a 3 min job to apply so best way to find out is to just apply!

@@CandidFounders i have company in the netherlands i buy commodity from people who make by their hands

@@allalijamal7916 you may need some kind of front to the business, how do you currently sell?

Thank you so much! we will :) if you have any questions or topics you want covered, let us know! Lucy

You're a legend thank you for your support!

You're so welcome! We have lots of videos on our channel all about Faire, if you ever have any questions feel free to pop them on the video I always get back to everyone :)

Hi - do you have your own Faire account that you are selling products on and want to connect it to shopify? If so, this is a free via a Faire app on shopify. If you are looking to buy products on Faire to sell on your shopify, drop shipping is prohibited and you have to buy the products on Faire and ship yourself. It depends if you are brand or retailer so let me know!

Good luck! If you're doing lots of good things already it's just about documenting them, so it's a lot of paper work but not super hard :)

Hey! That’s a great question, and not something I’m 100% on, however I know when you input bank details it’s just account number and sort code so I’m not actually sure if they’d be able to tell what type of account it is - so my advice would be just give it a go! They have to accept your bank details onto the account so you’d find out pretty quick if not!

Hey - have you applied through our referral link? I don't have access to view your account status but I know that Faire say apply every couple of months, they are very busy with applications at the moment! And applying through a referral link tends to help. :)

Hey, they do but they are few and far in between now because the marketplace is so huge, so you don't get assigned one on signing up unless you are a huge brand or bringing in loads of sales, we got assigned one when we first signed up because we we early to platform in UK but because we are so big on the platform in Europe we've kept our brand rep!

Hey - they're few and far in between now! You would have been assigned one if you were a big enough brand when you joined, or if you are now having a lot of success on the platform, most brands don't have them now. If you think you're hitting a lot of sales then reach out to Faire's support team to ask how you get referred, but it's only a small % who actually get access to them now I am afraid

Thanks so much, glad you are finding the vids useful still! 🥰

Hello hello! Yes been a very busy couple of months but you’ll be pleased to hear I’ve filmed a few new videos recently so back on the content train and can share our learnings from our growth! Bring on peak! So amazing to hear you’re doing well. It’s a tough world out there for brands at the moment, so you’re clearly doing something right, so glad we have been helpful to you in your own journey, keep smashing it 💪🏻 Out of interest how have you coped with the overwhelm in orders, have you managed to outsource anything?

Nothing! This is not a partnership we are not affiliated with Faire, we just use the platform for our own brand and are big fans, this whole channel is our independent view.

good job! Yes you need to put a lot of work in to drive your own traffic, lots of advice on this channel :)

Hey Lisa, yes we think it's been recently removed, we don't have access in the UK anymore either but we are looking into it to see if there is another way of doing it, will report back!

Thanks for watching!

absolutely and get your assistant to build the SOPs as they go along!

Originally google and reaching out to many, but now they come to us!

Thanks so much for the feedback I will adjust on future videos :) And thanks for the video suggestion I can certainly go into more depth on all of that! Stay tuned :)

You're so welcome! Glad you're finding it useful! We have had a bit of a break from filming as we just got married!! That took up a big chunk of time hahah but back to it now and will be getting some more content out to you all, thanks for sticking with us and always saying hello!

@@CandidFounders Congrats & Best Wishes! So happy for you both. A Wonderful Team 😀❤🌠🍯🐝

Hiya! Drop us an email at hello@candidfounders.com :)

Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback, follow along the main channel we have so many videos to help you! And if you have any specific questions drop them in the comments I always get back to you ❤

sure thing! what are your key concerns/questions?

Hey there! Sorry for the delay in responding, I had missed your comment. Wanted to come back now and say hello! Such a shame that these trade shows haven't been great, it sounds like it's very tough out there. We did Spring Fair and Harrogate in the UK this year - Spring Fair was incredible so we are doing it again in Feb25, but Harrogate footfall was a lot less (they put it on during School holidays so lots of independents missed out). I wonder if this is a downward trend of trade shows or if they will ever pick back up. Are you planning on going to any next year or were they just not fruitful enough for you this time round?
