For those who are new....*

Hello! My name is Emily and I own my own business, Emii Creations, selling and designing merchandise and art for sale. My retail business started in 2018 and I mainly go to conventions, local shows, sell online, and sell wholesale to retails stores all over the country. I also have a small consignment partner in Taiwan in case you see my stuff there!

Before Emii Creations I worked in the gaming/VFX industry for companies like Riot Games and Luma Pictures as a Pipeline TD/TA (lots of coding). You can find my credits on movies like Captain America: Civil War, Antman, and Dr. Strange. Although the VFX/Gaming world was so much fun, my dream has always been to convert my side hustle into my full-time job and I'm so happy it's working out!

Feel free to come and join my journey of investing and growing my business, me, and my new channel!

Thanks for sharing, Emily. Did you also increase the prices for your products, due to in inflaction, as well?

Thank you for another great con vlog. The honest feedback is helpful and appreciated. It looks like pretty busy foot traffic from your footage. But obviously that doesn't translate to sales all the time. Yes, I think the economy is unfortunately causing downward trends at most shows right now. Sac has always interested me, but it is hard to justify traveling from one coast to another unless the con promises great revenue. I vended at Magfest this past weekend (same weekend as Sac) and personally broke sales records, made just under $18k. My experience may have been an anomaly, considering inflation and buyer hesitation across the board as of late. But it's a bit hard to get accepted into, especially since they changed the app system to two rounds of lottery and then jury. Maybe a show for you to consider in the future!

As someone who has tabled at Spring SacAnime, it is not worthwhile to attend honestly
The weekend it falls on creates very low traffic, low sales, and on Sunday it is basically a dead event. I barely made table back, it’s an okay event to attend if you’re local. Besides that, I loved your video! It’s so informative! Loved your table and all your cute art too! I hope it’s okay to ask, but where did you get that massive sticker display?
