- Hi friends! In today's studio vlog I am taking you behind the scenes of how I set up my candle pop up at a local boutique. This is a one night event where I will be selling my candles in person before they launch online. This is a great ay to get your product in front of customers especially if you sell scented items that can sometimes be tricky for customers to purchase online.

Wow! Your comment just made my day thank you so much! I'm so glad you're loving the videos and are along for the ride of all the crazy ups and downs we go through in running a business especially a handmade one. Thank you so much for your lovely comment 💕
@@caitlinblue your so very welcome ☺️ I'm so glad my comment made your day ♥️
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!
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!!
Yes! 100% agree to never show it such great advice!
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing that it's a Rollercoaster sometimes running a small business. We all have those days :) hugs!!!
Awe thank you Summer it's so true we all have days like that! 💕
Thank you for sharing this experience to us. ❤❤❤
Of course! I will always share the highs and the lows because that's what running a business is. Thanks so much for watching 💕
Totally appreciate the honesty...it needs courage. Your vlogs are always amazing and totally enjoy them!! Good luck with new venture.
Sending loads of love and good wishes from India
Thank you so much for your kind words! 💕
What a beautiful flower plus store!
Yes she really does an amazing job with the layout and merchandising!
I just found your channel and I'm loving your videos! It's always fun to see other 'makers' show what their day looks like behind the scenes. Hope you had a great event!
Yay! I'm so glad you found me and thanks so much for watching!💕
Love the honesty!
Thank you! 💕
Your setup is so beautiful, Caitlin. Well done😊🥰
Thank you so much!! 💕
I love all your videos! Thank you for being transparent and honest :).
Thank you so much that means a lot! 🥰
Love your honesty and being real thank you for sharing. It was very encouraging, we will always have ups and downs in business.,keeping a possible perspective is what makes the difference. Stay consistent🙌
Thank you so much and I totally agree! It’s a rollercoaster ride owning a business so all we can do is just keep moving forward! 🥰
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.
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! 💕
I love how honest and real you are. Truly, Caitlin. I think it’s so important to normalize having days that aren’t perfect because owning a small business can be TOUGH. ♥️
Thanks Adele! It's so true we have to balance the good and bad parts. Hope you're doing well on your new business venture!
Pretty table setting 👍🏻
Thank you so much!!
LOVE how you were so open about this. It’s helped me so much because I’ve been panicking about my first market and thinking no one will show up. Now I’m like, “well, it’s ok if no one does 😊”
Awe that's amazing! But I do hope you get a better turnout than I did. I'll send some positive vibes your way and good luck at your first market!! 💕
Your pop up was beautiful! I know you know this, but there could have been so many reasons why not a lot
Of people showed up. You are good to show this.
Thank you so much for watching!! 💕
We all have days like this, and we appreciate you sharing it and continuing to have a positive attitude.
Thank you for the support! 💕
Your set up was lovely xx you are so right - everyone is just staying home with their families because there is so much gross stuff going on in the world. Your next one will be a sell out!
Awe thanks friend! All we can do is keep moving forward right?? 💕
I wanted tongo and so sorry I couldn't. Looking forward for the next one!
No worries!! Hope to see you at the next one 🥰
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.
Thanks Russell! So happy you're finding value in my videos and thank you so much for the wonderful comment!
She looked like oh no your leaving 😭 she’s so cute
She sits in front of the door like “you cannot pass mom” she’s so funny!! ❤️
@@caitlinblue awwwww
I completely understand and have had shows just like that. It is part of running a business and love that you shared 👍🏽❤️
Yes!! We all have those days right?? Thanks so much for watching 💕
I LOVE that you shared that. I've been to extremely busy markets and made $0 in sales. Not one LOL! It happens!!
Everyone's support has been amazing! I think it's great that we can talk about the low points because we honestly all have them. It's just a part of doing business right???💕
