I got tired of paying booth rent having to go there all the time to restock, clean, items going missing it was a lot of work so I purchased a 37 foot travel trailer gutted it out remodeled it made my little resale shop inside its awesome i can go out my front door and open my shop for business or i can take it wherever i want and set up , i sell a lot of vintage , farmhouse , chippy, old rustic in my area im in red oak tx about 30 minutes from Dallas tx , i also sell a lot on Facebook market place , people in my area like the old cool stuff the rustier the better, i don't overdo it on seasonal items because i find im stuck with a lot of it when its over
I know right where Red Oak is! Lived in Allen for 11 years :) I love your idea and am investigating a pop up idea myself. Way to be creative and run your business the way that works for you!
My booth is calledSeasons and I follow this type of plan every year. I usually stage my booth 2 -3 months out so I bring in fall and Halloween in August and Christmas in October. I actually sell more Christmas in October than in December. My booths are ready for Easter now and I’ve already sold several pieces.
That’s great! And yes, back in Dallas I had my Christmas out by October 1, but up here in NW Arkansas I’ve found that’s too soon, people don’t buy until November. So it can be a bit different in different markets-that’s great you have learned your own market so we’ll!
This is a video I feel like I can return to and watch again and again as the year progresses. Thank you for all the wonderful information.
Such a great video!!! It's almost like you have a direct link into my brain and you come out with videos that are about things I have been thinking about. I have been trying to figure out when to go full bore in spring and summer and what to look for while I'm out and about. Thank you so much for your videos!!!
Hello 👋 dear , how are you doing?
I am setting up a house museum and this video was brilliant for my needs. It’s going to be a virtual museum and it will be connected to a UA-cam channel. I of course want people to keep coming back and I am a designer myself and love to do vignettes, so that’s how I’ll change the look of the museum through seasonal vignettes of items that are in this home. Thanks for such great ideas. I love when there’s a plan.
THANK YOU!!
The information you provided was very much appreciated!! I started to recently watch you, and I absolutely love your channel. Your advice will definitely help me become a better booth vendor in 2022! Have a beautiful week 😊
Your videos are spot on! Always a wealth of information and useful ideas! Thank you! And thank you for the great printable!
Great information. Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely be keeping these suggestions in mind this year.
I loved this vlog!!! Thank you so much for all the great ideas. So helpful.
I like the photos to consider while you talk!
Hello 👋 dear , how are you doing?
My spouse got a booth at a flea market, we have a lot of Antiques.I get confused on pricing things at a flea market, I price a lot lower than online prices but this is a learning experience for us.Its a small town , but yet we would like to come out ahead.
Are others at your location selling more valuable antiques? Or more flea market type items? Unfortunately, if you’re location is attracting mostly flea market shoppers, it is hard to get that higher price. I’ve been in that situation before! Would you consider trying to sell some of your higher end items online?
Thank you for the great info.. I am new to selling in a booth and tend to over think it but I love it and want to make it work. I'm glad I found your channel.
Very helpful information!! I needed this kind of calendar to help me organize myself and also my booth. Thank you!!
This was a great video! It should be common sense, BUT sometimes our brains need a reset!!! Thanks so much for laying it all out for us.
Yes, sometimes we think too hard about it . . just rinse and repeat :)
You have such great ideas. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your channel and the content you put out for us.
Jan and feb sales at my booth were amazing and beat out all my prior month's sales. I immediately right after christmas I get my valentines and easter items out.
👏👏👏
Loved this video! Such great information and wonderful ideas. Thank you!!
This was so helpful! Thank you!
More super excellent advice! Thanks.
This was so helpful! I hope to start a booth in the next few months.
Great reminders
Love this
Awesome advice! Thank you so much!!
Great video as always. I appreciate all you do to help booth owners. I have learned a lot from your videos.
Awesome :) I’m so glad
Thank you so much for this valuable information. I am into a couple of months of having an antique booth. I found your channel by accident and have been watching you ever since. You have such great information for beginners like me!
You're so welcome! I hope it's helpful for you :)
Thank you for sharing all of this information.
Excellent information! I found your channel yesterday and have already watched ten of your videos while working on some projects. Thank you so much for sharing such terrific insights 🌷
Thanks for this. Excellent information!
Such great advice and even though I don’t have a booth currently (bought a home and dealing with moving/etc) this is great advice for knowing what/when to begin to transition our home decorations and what to pull out, etc
So informative! Thanks for all you do for us! Sometimes we don't get proper accolades for how hard we work; I want to be sure you know you're efforts are appreciated & that your knowledge is taken to heart. Love having the download! : )
Thanks so much Beth :) I really appreciate that
Thanks for this great video. Very informative, especially since I’m a new booth owner 🥰
Thanks for this great info. I am thinking about doing a booth and just gathering research right now! It’s great to know this helpful information is out there. Side note: your hair is just beautiful!
Such a fantastic video, thanks so much
What an incredible tutorial for someone like myself who has been searching and searching for an easy but meaty how to guide! Thank you. I'll be checking out the rest of your videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Great information!
So helpful! Thank you for the overview and for the download.
No problem!
Great video thank you!
I would love to own a booth one day.❤️
You totally should give it a go!
Me too, but how do you start one?
I love your ideas. I have had good success in my booth trying to follow these same ideas. Having you put in monthly planning will help with my purchases. Thank you
That’s great Melodie! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you for sharing! This is such valuable information. You are the first UA-cam channel that I started watching last year that talks about vintage retail booths. It put a seed in my head and now I have a booth at a local antique mall! I kind of mentioned to the owner that I probably needed to pull a few things out to add more seasonal stuff in. "His comment was, why not just leave it there an sell it all?" Obviously we can only have as many items as our booth will hold without it being crammed in there. LOL This gives me the reminder that it is a good idea to pull items that are more spring/summerish so I can add more fall items. Thank you for the inspiration!
You’re so welcome Amy! Glad I could be hopeful :(
What great info! Thank you so much.
Brilliant videos Melanie! Love them! Especially this one! So informative…. We’re in the UK and don’t have the stores you mention (we need Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree!) but everything else you’re saying about your booth is the same for us on our stall. We’ve taken on so much advice from you and its working…. Thank you 😊
awesome! I’m so glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing :)
Great video. I have watched many of your videos and this one made me subscribe. Thank you so much!!
Awesome! So glad you found it helpful :) Thanks for the sub 😊
Great video! Thank you so much!
As a brand new booth owner, open in August , thank you so much! You binging your videos as we speak.
Glad they’re helpful!
Thank you so much for this video!!! Sooo helpful!
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
I sat down a drew up a loose outline for my booth in December. I don't like the over the top themes but I need some sort of inspiration starting point. I like to shop smarter and not harder. I pick way less now than I did in the beginning. I'm sticking more to my aesthetic and those monthly refreshes.
Love your tips, Melanie. I must admit, my booth is lacking in this area. Thanks for helping me to get my mind in this gear!
I am always needing to take my own advice too Cindy 😂 So I get it!
Thanks Melanie for such an informative video. As a new booth vendor this information is priceless!
Oh, and your hair looks amazing. Love the layers!
Thanks so much!
What a great video full of ideas and to help formulate a sort of roadmap to follow. Thank you so much! You're right, sometimes you can take the same items with a different presentation, like the red and green books for the holidays.
You're so welcome Phyliss! Glad it was helpful :)
Great video! Beyond fall and Holiday, I struggle with what colors to add to my booth throughout the rest of the year. This was so helpful! Thank you!
awesome! so glad :)
What wonderful tips. I try to use some of your tips to change out my décor at home. So when I'm thrifting in March I'm looking for items to display in April and May.
This was SO helpful to me, a newbie. Thx~
you're welcome!
I love this help .. Thank You 😊
I just took a few happy spring items to my booth today. I have some seasonal holiday there and I found 2 vintage wedding toppers for cakes. I love decorating my booth as I would decorate my house for the season only on a higher level. It's fun. Love your tips.
Awesome! I found a cake topper recently too, although the people on it have gray hair 😂 I’m thinking it’s a 50th wedding anniversary topper?
@@LostFoundDecor you paint...give them a new hair color. If I were younger I would collect toppers, as is I have Too many. Blue sky houses and artesania riconada animals are my new passions
I recently found your channel. Love it!
Awesome, thanks so much :)
Thank you for the good information! Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your channel. 😘❤️👍
Thanks so much!
Loved this info so much. Thank you. I don’t have a booth yet, but I do sell on eBay, so I’m not new to selling. I have done some vintage markets over the years. The thing I have a hard time with is starting a booth from scratch. I would LOVE to see a video on how to go about setting up a booth. Just some ideas on different ways to go about it. It overwhelms me.
I mean staging it. I have my inventory already. But, how to go about making a beautiful staged booth with your inventory from scratch. Ideas on setting it up start to finish. Hope this makes sense.
YES, I agree id love a video on this too.
Thanks for these tips! My booth has been a little tired these days. It needs a little more pizzazz! Thanks for your ideas.
You are so welcome!
I don't have an antique booth and I probably won't simply due to physical limitations with a bad back, so I'm more of a sit on my rear end type LOL, but I am wanting to start up Facebook Marketplace, Etsy etc. Probably not so much eBay because I do hear an awful lot of negative things from different groups I'm in on Facebook, but would you suggest the same seasonal cycle for listing items online?
Love the address again for the download. Thanks.
Enjoy!
I'm loving your hair, Melanie!
Thanks! I was generously gifted a Dyson hair wrap at Christmas, and I kinda think it’s changed my life 😂
@@LostFoundDecor Somebody REALLY loves you! ❤️❤️❤️
I also agree. You are a beautiful woman and your hair looks fantastic.
I must thank you once again! You mentioned needing a license to sell live plants, which never ever crossed my mind. I have two in my booth right now, so I'm going tomorrow to take them away. (My state does require a license.) Thank you so much for sharing this!
You are so welcome! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :( But glad you were able to avoid any issues!
I love this video Melanie! ❤️ This break down was so much needed in our community! Its given me so many ideas to prepare for each season. Thank you so much, you nailed it as usual my friend!!!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for saving my bacon! ;)
Great video Melanie, thank you! Don't have a booth, but will be doing more vendor fairs in the future. I have passed on some items that if I look at the bigger picture, I should have got them. Or knowing when to pass. Congrats again on passing 10K subscribers, this thoughtful advice is one of the reasons why you are doing well..
Thanks so much Victoria :)
I LOVE the cabinet behind you!!!! Did you refinish that yourself? It is so my style 😍 Also, I love how every time i watch your videos, you have your hair styled so different! I am not that creative, and my hair is either down, or up in a ponytail. Thank you for the video today!!!! 😊
Hi Jean! That cabinet is one of my favorite things, and my first ever “antique” purchase :) I actually bought it that way, about 13 years ago. I plan on sharing some of my fave pieces here soon, so I’ll show you more. And about the hair 😂😂 it’s kind of in transition! I’m trying a few different things to decide what is working best (and what’s easiest!)
@@LostFoundDecor I look so forward to seeing that video! I love vintage, antique, retro and rustic along with authentic farm pieces! So anything involving any of those styles, i am so excited! As far as hair goes, LOL! I’m just happy when it doesn’t have static in it! It makes me look like I just either got scared or put my finger in a light socket!!! Ah…fun styles😂
Hi I have my own store,, doing good but i need some tips on how to desplay my windows..you can do a video about that.Thanks.
I have about 30 old piano keys, with their redwood key arms on them. I am trying to figure out how to merchandise them. They feel like they are begging to be sold as little bouquets or something, but would love a suggestion! I know you talk about music sheets a lot. Thanks for all the great advice. Love your channel.
I actually bought some old organ keys with the same idea! I do think bundling them together is a fun idea. They would make a great vase filler!
Love this one! My booth opens July 1! The link didn’t work for me. Would love to have the download loaded sheet! (The other links work)
Hey Tammy! Here's the updated link - lost-and-found.ck.page/92be869f9b (I updated it in the video description as well). Sorry it didn't work the first time!
Cannot find the monthly guide. Any suggestions please.
Hey! It’s in the description of the video :) under the title, you’ll see the number of views
-> then a there’s a sentence that starts with “1 year ago…”
-> you can click where it says “…more”
-> and that will expand the description.
-> you may need to click “…more” again, but once you do, then link to the guide is there
I have a question does everyone get a 1099 for their booth? And do you give a 1099 to the owner for booth rental?
I have not ever received a 1099 for my booth, I do from my online sales channels. I would be interested to hear what others would say :)
@@LostFoundDecor thank you… I would too..
Following
I can't help but think this is all common sense.
It is :) Sometimes though I think we can forget, or just need help remembering. Especially if you’re just starting out and you’re in a mall where no one ever redoes their booth space, it can be helpful having a rough plan of how to maximize the seasonal sales cycle
Some people don't have that instilled in them. It's just nice to have a good plan for the year.
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼thank you Awesome tips!!
