    I started watching your vlogs on craft market display set-ups and tips a few weeks ago to prepare for craft markets I'm participating in this year. I've had mixed results with pop-ups and markets since I started doing them last year and appreciate this vlog in particular because of your honesty and positive outlook. "It's just one day," like you said. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I'll keep watching!

    • @caitlinblue
      @caitlinblue  Před 2 lety

      Hi Carmina! I'm sorry you've had mixed results but I do believe it's part of the journey. I think if you keep doing it you will find the pop ups and markets that work best and hopefully you'll have more successful ones than not! Good luck friend! 💕

    I love this!! It is so true!! When I am at events with other new makers, and they become distressed over slow sales, I just tell them it's hit or miss, it takes time, just keep at it, and most importantly don't show it at your booth!!

    • @caitlinblue

    Hi Caitlin. Although I'm in the middle of the US, I wanted you to know that sometimes your customers are just getting off work at 5pm, rushing home to get the kids or dinner then eat with the family and then they remember, your popup and there isn't enough time to get there. I've missed so soo many great popups for this very single reason. I miss a lot of live tutorials/classes/demonstrations as they are always held during the times I am at work and I get that 'that' is the vendor/sellers work day also. But if more popups were done on Saturdays or coincided with pay dates, the turn out would be amazing! Don't let this one get you down, I totally get it. I've been there for all the events my friends ever did, even those that brought them into work and I've always, always supported them. They just never returned the favor, so that's how "I" get how you are feeling. Keep your head up, there are many of us out there that are learning TONS from you and all that you share and I'm very thankful that you are sharing the ups and, the downs. They happen. But showing the real side of this business does inspire many and really, gives us thoughts and ideas to 'chew' on. So chin up Caitlin, I'm rooting for you from ND and to prove it, I'm standing with you in your event and will go to your store to buy a candle and probably more. God bless and Hugs from ND.

    • @caitlinblue
      @caitlinblue  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi! Totally get the time thing which is another great reason to not get all bent of shape over the turnout. Thank you so much for your sweet words and for taking the time to write such an amazing comment! 💕

    This was a great video. Sorry, it didn't turn out so great but like they say, " you win some and you lose some" Main takeaway is you tried, and it was a success if you look at the number of views you got on this video. Your new candle line is going to be an enormous success. Thanks for all the great videos and more importantly the valuable tips and advice. I can't wait to see your next.
