I hate the trash talk but I tried out a small business of my own and some places or coordinators charge you $45 or more to set up a booth and end up not selling nothing, who's making the real money? And some places only let you set up for 4 hours, I rather be a coordinator rent a small land and get $45 or more per each tent, get 20 vendors and make bank

do you have a video on capturing emails at pop ups? thank you

[LaToya_Ebony]

I purchased a tent from one of your other videos. Thank you for the recommendation and discount code! I'm looking forward tonusogn it at my very first market!

I was lucky enough to get invited by a small business in downtown to be a pop-up shop for first friday so most the money I need to earn is for supplies

Hi Monica! I absolutely love your videos and business. I am attending my first pop-up shop soon and have to have liability insurance in order to set up a tent. Do you just have a basic liability insurance for your business? I would love to bring a tent but am not sure how to go about the insurance. Thank you!!

Thank you for all of the great tips for pop-up events.

Hello Monica, I have a question... how do you find pop=up shops? I've been on google searching but i'm uncertain and stuck

[JadaFilm]

Girl how big is your banner and your tent? X

[luvnotvideos]

I appreciate the information. As a new vendor I'm still struggling to create an interesting tent space. Good info here! I really like the fact you customize some of your inventory specifically for the event. Very clever! Thank you for sharing.

[clovertran]

Thank you so much for all of your videos. I love your tips, instructions and how your share your own stories and experiences. I wish I knew of you before my first pop-up show.

I made the mistake of not researching the event better and it turned out to be such a disaster. It was not well-marketed, and I should have known because it only cost $50 while other events in my area costs $100+ I counted maybe less than 100 people walking around but they advertised it as 15k+ reservations 🥹 I sold 2 items in total…

It took me a long time to be mentally ready to sign up for another one, and it’s this weekend. I hope I’m more prepared now. But I’m glad I have your videos to guide me through.

Please know you are a godsend and don’t posting 🥰

Hello Monica, I’m so glad I found your series! I will be having my first pop up event this month. All your tips are very helpful. Can you please tell me where you got your banner? I need one.
Thank you 🙏🏼

Your videos can help a lot and you have such a positive vibe 🤗

[MyBohoChicStyle]

Hi Monica!! I also do popup shops and I love watching your videos!! I get so much inspiration and good information from them!!! I just have one question for you. How did you learn to make your own candles? Thanks so much for filming so much of your before, during and after pop ups!! It’s lots of fun to see someone else’s process!! Tina 🩷💜🩵💚💛💙♥️🧡

[DarkNekoCrochet]

I’m dealing with my feelings on being modest. I know I need to be less modest. I can brag all day about other people but myself or things I do 🙃🤐

[texasmarshalls]

Can you give a idea of how much it cost to attend these events on average? Trying to see if i can afford to do this. Thank you for your videos!

[danielledukes]

thank you! I just started doing my first pop up shops this month & have learned so much from your vlogs ❤

[audreyscakes]

Thank you for this video this really helped. My first pop up is at a brewery that is family & Dog (fur baby) oriented. They will be having live music and its Luau themed. I'm super excited but so nervous because my products are all things sweet. From cake to scones, so figuring out what to bring in this heat on top of all the details, i find myself saying "why am i doing this" lol . Watching your video has given me a bit more confidence. thanks again.

Do you need a license to sell at a pop-up shop

[SewGigi]

How do you get paid? Meaning, do you have Venmo, cash only, or directly paid to banking account

[rebekahgrace-]
