As a buyer on Faire, I didn’t look at most of the things you mentioned. The photos are important. But I never read any brand stories. I looked at the pictures, prices and packaging. Also, the minimum to buy was a big factor.

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 11 ай бұрын

Great to hear from a buyers perspective! I had a brand tell me they loved reading my brand story, so I think it just depends :) but definitely the photos, pricing and minimums are very important!

I am definitely interested in getting on faire! Would love more videos on it and how to set it all up! As well as where to find information so we can list shipping prices that are accurate for buyers. Baby bump looks super cute thanks for sharing 🫶

Yes I would love to make a video like that while it’s fresh in my mind! ❤️ And aww thank you!! I know I’ll be so happy in the future that I documented it a little bit along the way on KZfaq, even if it’s just little clips at the end ☺️

Great video!!! I'm so glad I am not alone in my Faire experience. I was so frustrated the first time around, and then realized I was not doing my part to put my store out there! Best of luck to you with summer market. I'm hoping for better results too!

Yeah my first time was not great lol but again it was my own fault! It’s definitely something you have to put work into especially in the beginning when you’re trying to get noticed! I will definitely be making more videos on my experience along the way :)

Yes please and thank you! I knew I wanted to join Faire from the very beginning but in my research it felt soo overwhelming to me. I want to consider it again if you do more videos about it because you have a great way of explaining things in a way that I can understand without getting discouraged💚

Yess I definitely will! And I totally get that, it definitely intimidated me too so I’m right there with you! But I look forward to documenting more of my experience on the platform :)

Hi 🙋🏾‍♀️ Question for you. I was wondering if you ever did a video on pros vs. cons or do's and don't on setting up shop on instagram?

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 11 ай бұрын

I haven’t! To be honest I can’t even remember how I was able to set up an IG shop but I remember it being challenging 😅

@150clouds 4 ай бұрын

I have a couple of questions, how much inventory do you have to have already made, and how soon do you have to send them out? I’m approved but haven’t set up my shop yet because I don’t know the answer to these questions!

Hello! how long did it take for faire to approve you to sell on their platform? Do you have any tips on how to apply to get accepted? Thank you!

@thegoldenstandardtexas 11 ай бұрын

It took me 8-9 months to get approved the first time, not sure why the delay because once I was finally approved I wasn't motivated and didn't ave the time to spend setting everything up. Luckily it was in October so I managed to get Fall/Holiday products up. I made 1 sale within the first 2 days and I've never gotten another sale since (9 months) :( I really wonder how "cheap" they are wanting to see products sold for, I have my 8oz tins at $7.99, 4oz tins $4.99, and 3oz melts at $2.50. That is all half of what I charge on my website.

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 11 ай бұрын

I think it really just depends! I don’t really have “cheap” things, I think I am priced fairly for both me and the retailer. I think that photos, descriptions and minimums are super important for catching the eye of retailers. And of course if they feel your aesthetic will go with their store! Don’t think it’s because your prices aren’t cheap enough, I would focus on optimizing your listings, creating collections, have appealing and professional photos, etc

Hi Erika, I'm on Faire too but I want to add a wholesale to my Shopify store. do you know what app I need to use to do this? I saw you have one and it is awesome!

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 11 ай бұрын

Hi! In order to do this I actually created an entirely separate Shopify store specifically for wholesale!
