Small Biz Shop Update Reflections
My latest shop update was a success! But looking back at the events that unfolded right before the launch, it all seems to be a stressful mess. I think doing a retrospective on this recent shop update is helpful because there were definitely a couple things that I could've done better to prevent the level of stress I had!
This video serves to document the things I could improve on and what practical steps I'm going to try to make for my future shop updates so that I don't pile undue stress on myself and thus risk burnout :)

☆ Unbox new products with me! 🌼 Let's talk pros & cons of outsourcing + tips on how to do it
Просмотров 106День назад
I wanted to share the pros and cons of outsourcing instead of going the handmade route and doing something yourself, and share tips I have if you were to consider outsourcing stuff for your own business! As a sticker and stationery business, it's not uncommon to design things and send it over to external companies to make the physical product. Personally, I still create 90-95% of my products, b...

i was wondering, what kind of tweezers are you using? id like to try to use tweezers to peel off stickers cause i always ruin them whenever i use my fingers 😢
The one I used in my video I think is called the Cricut reverse tweezer! It came in a pack along with a bunch of other weeding tools ☺️ “craft tweezer” or “precision tweezer” could also work if you’re not able to find this specific one! I totally get you though, I bend the page a lot just to get stickers off the page! 🙈
omg i am literally going to buy a butt ton of stickers from you right now no joke 🫶
just ordered!! order #1013!!! super excited, i bought some stickers for my friends for christmas too!
OMG you are an angel! 😇😭 I just saw the order now and my jaw dropped!! Thank you so much for your support, I can’t wait to pack up your order and make a packing vid for it too!❤️🙏🏼 your support is huge and helps me afford to make more cute things in the world ✨
@@Tiramaesu_yay!! i’m so happy to support your business! i will definitely be buying more whenever you make new cute designs! if you couldn’t tell, i especially enjoy your cute cat stickers haha!! i can’t wait to watch you pack it, and i hope you have just as much fun packing it as i did picking out products to buy from you!! happy holidays! 🫶
How many friends did you get stickers for? I want to make sure I throw in freebies for them too! 🥰
@@Tiramaesu_i ordered for 5 of my friends, that’s why i bought seven of the cute winter wonderland sticker sheets! two for me, and one for each of them. thank you so much you’re so thoughtful!! 😭🫶 i also just saw you have a sticker book which would be extremely helpful cause i literally hoard stickers. so in my next order i will for sure be buying that sticker book!! 👀
Your sticker sheets are always so good :333!!! I hope you get more sales during the holiday season ❤❤❤❤
Ahhh thank you so much! 😊 it was so much fun making them, but I’m also currently enjoying my little break of not making any new items😆😇 I’ve seen a slight increase in sales so far so I’m really happy! Hope you get a lot as well ✨☺️
❤❤❤❤
www.youtube.com/@CreativePortfolioByLana welcome to my page of drawing tot bags 🎒 ❤
tysm for this!! love ur vids they help a ton!!!!
Aww yay I’m so glad it could help! 😍 thank you for watching and congrats again with getting n your own siser! 😇
For me I really don't plan anything 😭😭😭 I just list sticker designs as I get them and randomly work on different parts of my shop. It's chaotic and all over the place but I've been doing it for a year and it just works ✨️
Hahah yeah I usually do the same! Ever since I started in 2020, that’s kind of how I’ve been operating, which is just deciding what I want to draw on a whim and releasing them whenever! I feel like it’s not going to be a good thing to continue if I try to scale up though, so that’s why I’m trying to be better about it 🙈🥹
I'm only halfway through but this is already SO immensely helpful, thank you so much!!!
Yay! I'm glad you found it helpful ✨🥰 thank you for watching!
Hi! Thanks so much for your video! I'm a new subscriber and your videos keep me company while I work.I've been running my own stationary business full time (on Etsy) for 6 years now and can totally relate to the feelings you're reflecting on in this video. About the setting of dates for product launches, I've found that if I announce a new update to far in advance on Instagram, my followers are not getting the same call to action as they would from a well structured post the week of and reminders throughout that week. So my strategy is to post 2 weeks ahead of laugh and then that also gives me a date to work towards winding down and prepping my shop for the new product. I also run into the same issue with designing and hoarding, especially because I seem to be unable to stop designing new things for each shop update. Because most of my stickers would be considered functional stickers, ideas are constantly cropping up for a sticker that addresses a particular need. One way I combat that is to design throughout the year so that I have a "hoard" of designs ready to go when shop update time rolls around. It's not a fool proof solution, but it seems to help. As with the seasonal product, there is no hard and fast rule that says shoppers only buy Christmas and Holiday stickers only during the holiday season. While it's good to have new product lines launch seasonally, there's nothing wrong with designing it and just having it available in your shop for those buyers who are shopping early and in most cases late. There is also a large contingent of people who are buying our stickers not just for planning, but for scrapbooking, journaling and decorating pen pal letters, etc. so you'll catch those customers too. All in all, I think you're doing an amazing job and your artwork is absolutely adorable. Keep your head up and remember to do what's right for your shop and your customers. You got this!!!
LETS GOOOO I LOVE STICKER BOOKS!!!
I find a lot of people here don't know what a sticker book is and think it's filled with stickers so I may have to educate them! 🤣🙌🏼
Awww the Hannukah kitties are too cute! I love all your holiday designs ❤🎄🕎☃️
Thank you Sun! 🤩✨ It was a bit tricky thinking of it but wanted to make sure there was one for friends who celebrated Hanukkah! 🥰
AHHHH BIRB!!!
It was so cute I had to 😍🥹
Gave me some things to consider to help them look like they are being sold in a store, not straight from the house (even if they are). Thanks! 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
I’m glad it could help! The key is cutting them all the same size (or close to it) and making sure the glue doesn’t spill into other sides of the paper :)
@Tiramaesu_ ☺️🌸✌️
Sticker book hype!!! All your products are so cute as always~
Ahh thank you friend! I’m so excited to put them up in my shop and have them at my in person markets✨🤩
I love the calendar you made, and the stickers are just darling!! Thanks for another cozy video - you're right, it's okay to not have chaos all the time, and rest/slowness is just as important!! 💙
Aww thank you so much sun!! You’re so kind 🥹💕 I appreciate all your comments! I definitely would love making more planner and calendar stickers, and not just ones for “decor” hehe so I hope to record some of that in the future 🤭 especially with what’s going on lately, it’s important to take it slow and rest!
Same buddy, same
Thanks for sharing! I prefer the paint one (right) but the usability is so much more convenient with the marker. If only marker could create the dark crisp lines. Beautiful work!
Thank you for watching!! I agree 100% -- If a marker was able to achieve those bold lines, I'd definitely use that over a paintbrush! And thank you so much :)
If it's helpful and if you didn't know, under all preferences settings, there's an option to make the page marks smaller meaning they go out further to the edge of your page so you can use up more of your material space.
Ohh this is brilliant! I did not know this. I still have so much to learn about the siser machine 😂 thank you so much for this helpful tip! Pinning your comment so others can see this ✨
The stickers are so cute! I wish my city held little markets like this :,D
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it ^^~ there may actually be some markets in your town or in neighboring towns! Some of them are just really hard to find 🫣 I found that to be the case for my area! Hehe
It was awesome to meet you, thank for you supporting Baabu ❤
It was great meeting you too! I wish you luck with growing Baabu and can't wait to see where you go with it! 🙌🏼
Do the registration mark sensors work better for the Juliet When it scans Glossy Laminate? My Cricut Air 2 gets on my nerves when it cant read Glossy/laminated stuff. 😅 Thanks.
Im not usually a gloss laminate girly been I've using a gloss one for a couple months now (cause it's all I have and need to restock) and YES it has read the registration marks fine!
@@Tiramaesu_ ahhh thats good to hear that's already better than the cricut machine then lol thanks
Cute ❤
Ty! :)
The design is so cute!
Thank you so much! 😊
I have the same reasonings when I went on personal website instead of a marketplace..
It’s daunting to pay for your own site and everything but it definitely is very freeing 🥹
This was a fun and relaxing video, I enjoyed seeing your process! Thanks for sharing~
Aww thank you for watching Sun! I’m really glad you enjoyed watching 💕🥰
Woah that’s so good! 💗
Thank you so much! 🥹
OOO I love your thought process on drawing the cat! totally relatable ! When I saw the cat Stressed AF; i thought that Overwhelmed AF can be applied to since that's my current state hahah :); just an idea ;)!
Ahhh thank you!! It was fun thinking it through, I know I don't usually get to capture that part of the process on camera 🙈🤧 but yes it's so versatile right?! Oh nooo I hope you are doing ok and get through that overwhelming time?! 🥺🙏🏼
@@Tiramaesu_ awww thank you <3 <3.
YIPPIE!!! It's my order!!! Thank you so much :DDDD
Yesss thank you so much for your order 🙏🏻🤧 I was super excited to pack it!
Relaxing to watch you draw Mae~ 🙂↕️✨
Ahhh thank you Sammie! You're so kind🥺😭💖
Too cute to drink! 🩵🎃
Aww thank you Sun! 🥹💕😇

Omg yessss 😆🙌🏼 I’m glad I’m not alone hehe
Colour is permanent after washing or not.....
If you're working with fabric marker or paint then it shouldn't wash out
I am having a hard time finding an answer but can you cut stickers right to the edge with no boarder around them?
Yes you can do that! If you save your sticker file as a png without the white sticker border, you can import it that way and have it cut right along the edges
Wahhh this packaging is cute AF 🥹
Omggg haha thank youuu! 🫣😍🙌🏼 always trying to make it better! 🥹
You gotta get creative lolll, but the struggle is real
Yes facts ughhh!
*scribbling down notes*
HELLO FREIND!!! you said you felt guilty charging $4-$5 for a single sticker but THERES A WAY AROUND THAT(etsy only, idk if it works anywhere else)! I ship stickers in envlopes and etsy has a shipping lable option thats basically the equivalent of a postal stamp, it costs 69 CENTS. I would be easier to shoe you a picture but ill try my best to expain it in words. (We could get in contact too, id love to chat with you! You seem super sweet :3) You need to select package type LETTER Then put 1oz-3oz for the weight (i almost always put 1oz for the weight even if its more then that. Letters are so small that the post office doesn't really care. Out of the hundred of letters ive sent, only one has been sent back to me for being too heavy.) Put 9 inches for the LENGTH Put 6 inches for the WIDTH Put .25 inches for the HEIGHT (very imporant, it wont work if its not .25. Also dont worry if your actual letter is taller then .25, again letters are so small the post office doesn't care 99% of the time.) I dont know what your packaging looks like for stickers, but if you use an envelope this would be perfect solution for you!! And dont be afraid of the envlopes bending, it rarely happens and you can always stiffen them up by placing something stiff inside them (i use my business card to keep it stiff). I hope this helps!!! Id love to chat with you more about small business stuff :3. Hope you have a great day!!
Thank you so much for this! I actually saw this recently from a reel on insta and it’s worked great for the most part! 🤩 I had some issues with the mail coming back to me even though the recipient address was correct and that was a bit stressful cause it took a while 🫣 so I became hesitant about using it- maybe I should just add insurance at least on Etsy. I’m hoping there’s a thing like this for Shopify! I don’t think it has tracking for first class :( I love talking small business too!! Thank you for the tip and I hope it helps others too 😁
Hello! You said your printer doesn't print borderless! Ive also had that issue with my epspon pinter only printed bordered pdfs. But i found a work around. I print all my stickers through my phone and i use an app/extension called Mopria print. It adds an option for you to bring borderless and its a life saver for me. I have an android phone and im unsure if it works on ios. I dont know if its availble on a computer either. But id image theres gotta be something similar like that for pc. I hope this helps anyone who reads it, congratulations on your new printer!!!
Ohh thank you for this recommendation! I have an old android phone so I will have to try it there! That would be really amazing if I can get this to work for me :D I haven't really had much problem printing a lot of stickers on this new printer otherwise! My old borderless printer would actually enlarge the specified size cause it's stretching it xD
Congratulations on your new shop! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you bee! 🥹
What canvas size do you use to ensure high quality? 🤔

That's so cute!! I love the little touches you add to your packaging!!! I wish I could do that for all my orders but I get so many that I don't have the time to add all the little touches I used to be able too. My goal is to make the customer feel special and like they are opening a gift :DDDD!
Thank you! Haha well that's a nice problem to have that I don't currently have 😅😂 I'm gonna try to do this until I get to that point!🙌🏼
So exciting, Mae! 🥳 & thank you for bringing us behind the scenes. 👍
Thank you Krista! I'm looking forward to documenting more of what I do for the shop behind the scenes! ❤️☺️
I thought it was amoungs😊
😆 hehe nope!
YOOO I WANT TO DO THIS TO FOR MY STICKERS!!! rn I'm doing self surve but in the future I'd want to switch to that!!!
Hahah yeah definitely try it! They’re relatively cheap to get on Amazon too which is great 👍🏼
