Ok! All of this is great, and congrats on another successful pop-up shop! To enhance your booth even more, purchase a rug to put on the ground. That'll make your booth more welcoming. Also, when you run out of items that customers inquire about, make some pre-order forms so customers can pay ahead of time and get their info and mail it out to them once you make the products! I was screaming when you said that you ran out of the Hoboken totes! Those could've been sales and just mail them out with free shipping as a courtesy. But, other than that, you're doing great!!!!

Awesome, at my last pop-up, I seriously realize that I did accumulate alot of things. Requiring 3 tables and needed another helping hands. I now have to purchase 2 spots for all i have. Its so fun, i love the interactions and postive comments that come in. My customers actually ask for my business cards and they alway ask where I come from. We recently attended a parade, did a walking vending thingy and sold alot. TIP- BE POSTIVE, THINK POSITIVE. KEEP A SMILE AND SHARE A SMILE. 😂😜🤓 "Walking In Beauty Productions"

Amazing, I just recently subscribed and really appreciate your vlogs. You have such great energy, it's a Hoboken affect, I'm sure. I want to do a pop-up for my business, it's intimidating to get over that hump that no one will buy. Seeing your experience, share the raw feedback, and see you continue to succeed is inspiring. Sending continued success vibes from CA!

This video is inspiring!!! I have a craft market coming up this Saturday, and in a way, I feel under prepared. I hand knit scarves and blankets. I sew bowl cozies and coasters (I'm learning how to sew men's neck ties). Yes, I wonder if my stuff is good enough to sell.... Yes, I wonder if what I have to sell is anything anyone would want. However, when I heard you say that you had the same notions but disregarded it.... That picked my spirits up so much!! Thank you for taking the risk to do this. Thank you for posting such videos. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Much Love from Texas.

Suggestion: making and teach how to make elastic skirts using 3/4 inch elastic to go through waist hem, and ribbon wrap skirts using 1 to 1 1/2 inch gross grain ribbon as left side bow tie. Zig zag seam edges before sewing 1/2 to 3/4 inch seam. For wrap skirt, close left side opening by sewing 2/3 to 3/4 way up.

@GabelGreen Ай бұрын

Use gross grain ribbon as waistline for wrap skirt which is like apron but with full coverage. Make it below knee length. For fuller figures, can gather by sewing wide stitches on top seam edge and pull thread. Then sew skirt attachment to gross grain ribbon, with opening on left side (which can be partly sewn up) and bow tie.

At big festival markets usually around $3000 - $5000, at smaller pop-ups usually $100-$800. This number totally depends on your store's price point and the area the event is located and ofcourse how your booth looks!
