I make baby/kids boutique style clothing. I get this comment sooo much. "I can buy it cheaper from amazon, temu, etc." I literally set in my dining room while taking care of my 1 year old little girl handmaking each piece. I customize for each customer. I hand stamp my tags, cut every tiny strap or hand punch the snaps. I put so much time into the pieces. Theres no better quality clothing than handmade. So sometimes it urks me when people say things like this
i think youre just going to have to get over it, because if its true then what are you going to do you know? either sell it cheaper or move on with it 🤷♀️
It's part of the ambiance!! Nice packaging is enjoyable to open!! I'm sure she gets beads in bulk for the low so she has large margins!! Pretty packaging is what separates her from just Amazon
You could probably save money by using envelopes instead of boxes. You can stamp them with a cute stamp if you want. But youd for sure save a buck or two and be just as cute. That box has a lot of wasted space.
We live in an age where creators are pressured to match big corpo styles in looks so something is sellable I miss the old easy whit bag days. Much cheaper. I feel like sge shouldn't have to feel the need for this but packaging sells sometimes
As a small business owner myself I definitely agree with you. It's the personal touch that makes our items all the more special. Much success to us and others like ourselves 🙏🏾
i understand why it’s not for everyone cause homemade pieces are verryyyyy expensive today. not everyone has $50 to drop on an item they can find for $10. i know it’s all about supporting small businesses but half the time our wages physically won’t let us
@@violetcovers5699Ofc, that’s a good thing. If it’s a good price, good quality. But some other small businesses may hv quite expensive products that are low quality, and buying from big retail stores are just more convenient and resourceful.
No, it’s not more expensive than the product, because the price of the pack is included in the product price, and those packs cost a dollar or less. Ignorance is bliss.😢
@uzoridiseyechizom3595 the boxes dpnt cost less then a dollar. I used to own a business for me I could get them for 2.50 each or 10 for 5$. Plus hers has a picture on it probably custom
@@hollytruyou can reuse the box for storage and stuff, it's really only a waste if you yourself don't make use of it. That's just the way I see it anyways 🤷🏾♂️
@@lildicky1058 true, but it also drives the shipping cost up drastically so it's not the smartest & most eco friendly postal packaging. In store makes sense but this is an online business
Yall gotta understand when someone hand makes an item ,they put their energy into whuch makes it more meaningful and beautiful. Its like they give you apart of them and you should find it more precious to you . Like we dont have same appreciation for things when they are mass produced and everyone has it . Think about it.
Same with buying clothes. And buying food. Value is the meaning of life for me. I know not everyone has the money to blow on certain items, but people shouldn't blame others on where they do place values (basically where people spend their money.)

I know you don’t mean anything else. But wanted to say ‘We should all be patient and kind to one another’. Regardless of how big/small businesses are or whether or not you are the owners or customers.
Help pay someone’s mortgage, kids school cloths, and the family car. Not a multibillion dollar conglomerate that would literally wipe their ass with your $5. I love supporting small business and I support this message!
Well as someone who grew up poor and still is, we just don’t have the budget for a 45 dollar product, if we can get it cheaper at a multibillion company for 5 dollars.
@@kyanadresen6756 Obviously if it doesn’t apply, let it fly! But be mindful of how many times in a 5 year period you probably buy that crap item. Whereas you could have bought 1, that lasted. Poverty is also associated with spending habits, financial literacy. Chances are if you were born into poverty and now an adult, that hasn’t gotten out of poverty, my friend you need to adjust your focus and not take those generational curses with you.. it has nothing to do with what business you support when all your moneys going to the right resources. Gotta break that cycle, start sacrificing for a few years to save save save and get yourself out that situation. If you carry things with you the same way your parents did, you’ll be in that same situation when it’s time for you to have kids. Use the financial aid system to get educated, or get a trade, stay with a company for 5+ years and work your way up, something but once you start earning money you need to be mindful of how the others before you stayed in poverty..and if staying in poverty is what you want. Saying things like “well I’m broke so I have to shop at Walmart”. No, you don’t at all. I actually get most of my stuff that’s better quality, in Macys on the 75% off rack and those items last way longer than items the Chinese made for Walmart. Again, it’s a mindset thing you need to change.
@@ThePomskysPalace it has nothing to do with my mindset im a first class cheapskate because of this, my couldn’t finish her education because she got pregnant with me by a horrible dude, my stepfather lost his business and got ALS a few years back, im 17 the only one who makes money in this house because my mom has to take care of my dad full time and my dad well (idk how to explain it best we speak dutch at home) my dads muscles have been dying off he cant even speak anymore, i just don’t like the way people try to guilt trip with “its only 5 dollars ur not only helping a small business but also me” i want to give my little sister something small with all this shit going on too its mostly clearance junk i’ll admit but half of these small businesses buy the same supplies that was made in the same factory and sell it for triple the price
If you're using a box of that size I recommend using more of the paper sprinkles to cushion the bracelets so the beads don't break. The box will get tossed around during the shipping process.
But the thing is small businesses put love in to their work because my daughter she has a small business and she put so much energy into it and love and Amazon just puts it in a box and ship it
this is the reason i love small businesses! i did pretty much every item for christmas through etsy this past year. not only was so much of it customizable, but i love being able to talk to the person that’s actually going to create the item and i can often feel the love they put into their craft. makes it much more special and meaningful ❤❤
If you can support a small or local business, please do so. I think these things are cute as hell and I just feel something warm in my heart whenever I buy from these little businesses. It somehow feels personal, even if it wasn't.
Yep! So where I live we have this festival each year, I don’t feel comfortable saying the name since it will literally give away the street I live on 😅 But a bunch of local businesses set up tents and sell jewelry, ice cream, taco trucks, etc. I just think it’s super nice cause you get a chance to buy from a lot of small businesses and local food places
I would love to see a monthly haul showing your plans, fabrics, and patterns for the month from the items that you already have. I also think it would be great if you just kept a brief diary of what you done when you go in your sewing machine each time. Just a little sewing diary for when you start and finish and the steps you’ve taken in between. That might give you a picture too.
The problem is their ignorance, not your product. Your products are precious and someone who doesn't understand small businesses.. I need to know who their parents are. Someone failed them.

@@iceypoppyy still wasteful and bad for the environment. Each empty cubic inch of the package is a waste on fuel. You do know that shipping a 100 of these boxes will take up a TON of shipping space that could be used to transport something else thus wasting truck/plane/vessel fuel for nothing. Dont do this as a small business, show you actually care about the environment.
I love buying from small businesses. Not only to help them grow but the appreciation and the little touches they add to show you that appreciation is so nice. Keep up the good work friend❤
Well it’s because those beads are sold on Amazon as full sets to make your own and you get to make more than 3 bracelets but if someone rather spend more money to get someone to make it , package then shop then that’s on them .
Right, what makes it unique enough that someone else would want to buy it. You also gotta think about what the customer wants, and not what the creater would want with their packages. Putting your heart into it does not mean just including a few pieces of candy
@@danieltongawwthe comment wasn't really disrespectful, but it is a matter of personal opinion. There's nothing wrong with what she's doing because ppl are still willing to buy it obviously, but that doesn't mean the quality will differ than want is already offered in kits on Amazon

I’m new here this is the first ever short I have watched by you and I liked and subscribed and I might also support you by buying a couple of bracelets and will proudly wear them
People that don’t make things by hand have no idea the time, energy and cost that goes into making something. They just want something for free. They are not your target customers. Ignore them.
Don't listen to those stupid haters trying to pit you down. I would rather buy some of your bracelets than some heartless Amazon bracelets, you put time and effort into your products. ❤ don't let other people do that to you and your business. 😊😊😊😊
You should put the candy in a little cute package. You never know what temp your packages will end up having to sit in and Starburst melt easily, trust me I love em lol.
@@lulasnannajodie7723 it's really inadvisable to insert FOOD items in non food related shipments. I mean she's lucky she only ships domestically but it's still a terrible idea. Hopefully she stopped doing it.
Controversial opinion: Do we really need that much garbage? I'm not talking about the product itself but those confetti and whatnot. I do understand that it makes customers/clients feel a bit more appreciated/valued but I think we should all start changing our mindset as consumers and as entrepreneurs. That's all. Have a wonderful day!
I agree. Honestly, packaging isn’t THAT important to me, as long as the product is what I expected. It could come in a padded envelope with nothing else and I’d be content.
Answer- NO, WE DONT. A recycled colorless mailer envelope with recycled shedded paper is enough. Jazz it up with pretty writing or ink stamps. These small businesses really do use a lot of unnecessary trash. What’s with the cards? Every card I get goes in trash because I already know where I bought the product.
@@seadragon1456 I guess it’s for presentation to help them stand out or in case someone compliments you, you’re able to pass along the business card. I think in todays world it’s not as important since we’re able to just text/screenshot the brand name on our phones.
Agree. I was thinking this. Maybe not use a box and opt for something else instead for packaging...there really wasn't all that much being put in there anyway.
The confetti is paper based, not plastic, so it isn't bad for the environment, and also we have three farms specifically for making paper, I get what you're saying but we should focus on bigger issues like the abhorrent amount of plastic big corporations use, many of which aren't recyclable types, someone packaging their product with a handful of paper confetti isn't the worst thing
Love how Charlemagne is helping our people get or open their minds to Therapy. Our people need healing and love he uses his platform for this. At the end of the day hurt people hurt people.
It’s also better for the economy buying locally, even when shopping on Amazon it shows you shops that are small business or corporations and I try to buy from entrepreneurs more if I can help it. Conscious spending is so important, especially in the sate of the market and economy we’re in now. ♡︎
Small businesses are so underrated, we put our life and soul into every little thing we do. We give small treats and kind notes, but big businesses just throw the thing you buy into a bag, no freebies or notes and ship it. (Not all of big businesses do this!!) and yet we still get little money, and not a lot of sales, some small businesses even get none..
This is why knowing your target audience is important. You can take another person who makes their jewelry by hand … and because they are in a different market, they are making twice more money and their market do not complain. Every demographic in a market has a mindset … remember this ladies…. ❤
What a gorgeous gemstone you're wearing and pairing it with that fabulous fabric of the suit jacket. I would bet that suit jacket is super comfortable considering the fabric it is made of. So stylish!
You can just consider it charity then. Consider it you giving $5 to help a young kid get somewhere in this tough ass world that seems to want to beat down anyone wanting to work hard. She’s TRYING. The world is against her and she’s still trying. The entire system is rigged to ensure that this girl never gets where she wants to go and here she is. Somehow, you came across her video and you have a chance to put $5 towards something you know is gonna matter. $5 to Amazon is NOTHING. $5 to this girl - is a sale. It’s a sign. That God is with her and her efforts are being rewarded. The same way a kid at his lemonade stand sells a cup of lemonade - you can make it cheaper by the gallon than it would cost you for a cup. But the impact buying that cup - or these bracelets is more than just the money. Can you just consider it a good deed to pay forward?
You know that these 5$ involve more than just the bracelets? Would you buy a kit made by a smaller buisniss, it would also cost way more because you are buying from massproduction. Which is of course not always bad and helps poor people, but it also contributes to the fact that more and more cheap junk is produced because people want everything cheaper and cheaper. Which in turn provides for outsurcing to places where people are treated and paid inhumane and probably even provide childrenwork . When you want to support it, go for it.
@@honeybadger2986 what is that kid doing for us though? 🤣 you acting like everyone gives a fuck about a random kid they don't know cause like u said this is a "tough ass world" not everyone worries for a kid and would rather buy things cheaper
@@0nly.k1m34 then do it! Who’s making you buy them? Go support a huge corporation and make the bracelets yourself. Let other people support small businesses. Bye!
Don’t mind those people! Usually they are the ones with ZERO CREATIVITY so they feel resentful of you being able to use your GOD -given gift to earn a living. I and other creatives are very proud of you and do wish you the very best! Your bracelets are charming.❤❤❤😊
Support small business! When buying plur/rave/sport business you are buying the love and energy but into. That’s why home cooked meals are always best ❤️
you are such an inspiration. i’ve been wanting to have a bracelet business forever. The other day I finally made my first bracelet and put it up on my shop. Thank you
What many people don't realize is that when we make our items by hand it's a lot of dedicated work that is involved. Sure you can buy things cheaper, but it costs money to make our items to sell and it's so disrespectful to try to cheap down our hard work. I feel just as passionate about making my totes/bags like high end companies do. And mine are just as beautiful. It doesn't hurt to support people who are trying to make a living and produce beautiful handmade products. Wishing everyone who is out there creating and selling their items the best. Keep being creative and never allow negativity to hinder your progress.🤗😊🌺🌺🌺👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I make braclets but do not sell them and I do not like when people say you can buy them off of amazon because I understand and know how hard Small businesses work
Why wouldn’t someone rather support a small business over putting more money in Jeff besos’ pocket? Always shop small when it’s possible and you can afford to do so! Bracelets are not a necessity so if you’re buying one it’s cause you have the money to do so. Putting your money in places you believe in is so important. Anyone that comments that is most likely a child that doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation and how important it is to support small businesses over massive soon-to-be monopoly’s
May God bless you and your business. Stay motivated, consistent and enjoy being a servant to others with your creative gift that God has given you. Speak positively always and don't forget God gave you gifts and talents.
As a small business owner too I would just like to say that you can buy similar things by big companies but you can’t buy that love and care you put into your products. I hope you get big someday ❤
As a person who makes jewelry, i can confirm making these type of stuff takes hard work and money also packaging and shipping takes money aswell. So please instead of barking about how its expensive just go buy the cheap Amazon ones.. I too sell mine for 2$ but my packaging, shipping isnt as luxury as hers so her price is absolutely perfect
Honestly until you start and run your own small business , people don’t realise how much more effort , time , love and money it actually requires. Especially when you don’t have a team of staff and it’s just you .
I love this, and those candies go so far. I made/sold my own body cream and dropped a few pieces of dark chocolate in the bag, and I received so much feedback putting that little snack in there 😊
Just found this short today on my feed. I myself have a small scrunchie business, and yes, people don't know the amount of effort and dedication when making something handmade. Let alone having an online store, and running your business entirely by yourself. They will talk, but never do. Don't listen to them, keep going!❤ Those bracelets are suuuuuper CUTE. Love from Mexico 🥰
The small business trend on tik tok started in 2020 and has died down bc people don’t want to buy repurposed crap. These are literally beads that a 3 rd grader could have put together so personally it’s not a product that screams quality or creativity unlike other things small business artists make. Also, if you’re interested in making a profit get smaller packaging, less advertisements, and no candy. All of the extra crap adds up.

You should switch to envelope mailers. No need for a giant box for an item so small. Even for larger orders they’ll fit in a mailer.
Boxes are more likely to get reused rather than tossed and wasted so that might be her strategy
Also they’re more resilient in the mail, less likely to get crushed or broken

Good for you! You might cut you expenses by getting boxes half as thin for smaller orders, although not sure how much diff the postage would be
Sending big love and positive vibes and just wanted to come In and show support babes ❤❤❤ Keep on going girly you got this proud of you and happy for you!! Xoxo
I'm starting a business soon as well so I can feed and treat Animals in my city 😢 hopefully I'll be successful!
Очень хорошая идея, ты молодец!!😊❤
My cousin wants to do one she got the license for it but I don't think she has it right now probably one day
Cute bracelets.
But wouldn’t it be better and cheaper if they were shipped in an envelope?
It’s a part of the aesthetic, and also it won’t be thrown away and can be reused and stuff!
@@iceypoppyy still wasteful and bad for the environment. Each empty cubic inch of the package is a waste on fuel. You do know that shipping a 100 of these boxes will take up a TON of shipping space that could be used to transport something else thus wasting truck/plane/vessel fuel for nothing. Dont do this as a small business, show you actually care about the environment.
@@divx1001 that’s fair
the box tho👀
I love buying from small businesses. Not only to help them grow but the appreciation and the little touches they add to show you that appreciation is so nice. Keep up the good work friend❤
Omgggg I looked at your pics on your website they look so nice . Keep up the good bracelet work
Well it’s because those beads are sold on Amazon as full sets to make your own and you get to make more than 3 bracelets but if someone rather spend more money to get someone to make it , package then shop then that’s on them .
Yea but that dosemt mean be disrespectful!!!
Right, what makes it unique enough that someone else would want to buy it. You also gotta think about what the customer wants, and not what the creater would want with their packages. Putting your heart into it does not mean just including a few pieces of candy
@@danieltongawwthe comment wasn't really disrespectful, but it is a matter of personal opinion. There's nothing wrong with what she's doing because ppl are still willing to buy it obviously, but that doesn't mean the quality will differ than want is already offered in kits on Amazon
@@chubbybutterflies8971 it was disrespectful period!!!! No need to be a hater
@@chubbybutterflies8971 duhh you didn’t know putting period at the end of a sentence
Makes the person writing the sentence automatically right !! It’s in the Bible !
Girl you do you. You don't need to explain yourself to someone that doesn't get it. If they did, they wouldn't have said what they said. Your business is beautiful x lots of love from a Kiwi living in Western Australia.
I’m new here this is the first ever short I have watched by you and I liked and subscribed and I might also support you by buying a couple of bracelets and will proudly wear them
They are really cool😊
I probably will buy one
People that don’t make things by hand have no idea the time, energy and cost that goes into making something. They just want something for free. They are not your target customers. Ignore them.
Don't listen to those stupid haters trying to pit you down. I would rather buy some of your bracelets than some heartless Amazon bracelets, you put time and effort into your products. ❤ don't let other people do that to you and your business. 😊😊😊😊
I wish you delivered to Canada. Your bracelets and necklaces are beautiful , I checked out your etsy page !!! Keep doing what your doing !!!
Cant we just thank her for the hard work she puts into these bracelets?
Why?
They literally take no time to string.
You should put the candy in a little cute package. You never know what temp your packages will end up having to sit in and Starburst melt easily, trust me I love em lol.
There's already a lot of packaging for 3 bracelet - a oversized box, paper, paper sprinkles and TWO cards - nothing is gonna stop sweets melting
@@lulasnannajodie7723yea, just so much waste
I have never ever had a starburst melt and I live in the deep, humid south 😂
@@abbycrossing13 AMAZON or mail service?
@@lulasnannajodie7723 it's really inadvisable to insert FOOD items in non food related shipments. I mean she's lucky she only ships domestically but it's still a terrible idea. Hopefully she stopped doing it.
I actually love the thought of buying something that has been handcrafted with care and thought.
Small businesses are all about cute packaging these days. Least bothered about products 🤣
I would not hv these bracelets even for free 🤣
Controversial opinion: Do we really need that much garbage? I'm not talking about the product itself but those confetti and whatnot. I do understand that it makes customers/clients feel a bit more appreciated/valued but I think we should all start changing our mindset as consumers and as entrepreneurs. That's all. Have a wonderful day!
I agree. Honestly, packaging isn’t THAT important to me, as long as the product is what I expected. It could come in a padded envelope with nothing else and I’d be content.
Answer- NO, WE DONT.
A recycled colorless mailer envelope with recycled shedded paper is enough. Jazz it up with pretty writing or ink stamps.
These small businesses really do use a lot of unnecessary trash.
What’s with the cards? Every card I get goes in trash because I already know where I bought the product.
@@seadragon1456 I guess it’s for presentation to help them stand out or in case someone compliments you, you’re able to pass along the business card. I think in todays world it’s not as important since we’re able to just text/screenshot the brand name on our phones.
Agree. I was thinking this. Maybe not use a box and opt for something else instead for packaging...there really wasn't all that much being put in there anyway.
The confetti is paper based, not plastic, so it isn't bad for the environment, and also we have three farms specifically for making paper, I get what you're saying but we should focus on bigger issues like the abhorrent amount of plastic big corporations use, many of which aren't recyclable types, someone packaging their product with a handful of paper confetti isn't the worst thing
💕😇May Your business continue to Grow and Blossom for many, many Years to come!💕
Amen
How beautiful and lovely. Thank you for sharing
To be honest they do take forever to make & this is a good deal, so cute.❤
Oo that looks like an awesome bracelet to buy for me and my friend, I might buy them for her birthday!
Get yourself a kit for half the price and wich you can make 10+ bracelets ✨
Even with Prime, not everything on Amazon is inexpensive. Keep doing you, girl. Your bracelet and everything including the box are beautiful.
Love how Charlemagne is helping our people get or open their minds to Therapy. Our people need healing and love he uses his platform for this. At the end of the day hurt people hurt people.
Ohhh you are so adorable and so smart for your age! I wish one of my children believed that what they offer is valuable.
Huh?
Omg her packaging is SOOO cute! And she gives us candy! I'm def gonna order
y’all. if you think they’re too expensive, don’t buy them. no need to hate on someone who’s making bag anyway.
It’s also better for the economy buying locally, even when shopping on Amazon it shows you shops that are small business or corporations and I try to buy from entrepreneurs more if I can help it.
Conscious spending is so important, especially in the sate of the market and economy we’re in now. ♡︎
You made me want to start a small business thank you so much you are the best UA-camr you got a new subscriber
This sounds like such an awesome small business! ♥️
Just a thought - you can link your store here in the comments

now you can
Small businesses always put so much care into their orders 💗 love supporting them!
Small businesses are so underrated, we put our life and soul into every little thing we do. We give small treats and kind notes, but big businesses just throw the thing you buy into a bag, no freebies or notes and ship it. (Not all of big businesses do this!!) and yet we still get little money, and not a lot of sales, some small businesses even get none..
Whats the point in putting those tissue paper strings in there if there’s literally like 10?
Love this short . Support small businesses .
This is why knowing your target audience is important. You can take another person who makes their jewelry by hand … and because they are in a different market, they are making twice more money and their market do not complain. Every demographic in a market has a mindset … remember this ladies…. ❤
What a gorgeous gemstone you're wearing and pairing it with that fabulous fabric of the suit jacket. I would bet that suit jacket is super comfortable considering the fabric it is made of. So stylish!
my girl is selling braceless inside boxes... omg the american energy
Sooo sick of people advertising their trashy small businesses on yt. Like bro. I’m don’t want to see more ads.
@@-q51 ok?
@@-q51 your the reason people think society is fuqed up im be honest she making a hustle an if you don’t like that SCROLL
@@-q51 well deal with it cuz it aint stopping anytime soon
@@-q51 my guy thinks he can stop all the small businesses with this one comment 💀
5 dollars for ONE bracelet is crazy. That's excluding shipping. You can buy a kit for 7 😭
You can just consider it charity then. Consider it you giving $5 to help a young kid get somewhere in this tough ass world that seems to want to beat down anyone wanting to work hard. She’s TRYING. The world is against her and she’s still trying. The entire system is rigged to ensure that this girl never gets where she wants to go and here she is. Somehow, you came across her video and you have a chance to put $5 towards something you know is gonna matter. $5 to Amazon is NOTHING. $5 to this girl - is a sale. It’s a sign. That God is with her and her efforts are being rewarded. The same way a kid at his lemonade stand sells a cup of lemonade - you can make it cheaper by the gallon than it would cost you for a cup. But the impact buying that cup - or these bracelets is more than just the money. Can you just consider it a good deed to pay forward?
@@honeybadger2986 that's wasting money and being financially irresponsible. buying the kit makes more financial snese
You know that these 5$ involve more than just the bracelets? Would you buy a kit made by a smaller buisniss, it would also cost way more because you are buying from massproduction. Which is of course not always bad and helps poor people, but it also contributes to the fact that more and more cheap junk is produced because people want everything cheaper and cheaper. Which in turn provides for outsurcing to places where people are treated and paid inhumane and probably even provide childrenwork
.
When you want to support it, go for it.
@@honeybadger2986 what is that kid doing for us though? 🤣 you acting like everyone gives a fuck about a random kid they don't know cause like u said this is a "tough ass world" not everyone worries for a kid and would rather buy things cheaper
@@0nly.k1m34 then do it! Who’s making you buy them? Go support a huge corporation and make the bracelets yourself. Let other people support small businesses.
Bye!
Remember this! Hand made is better than machine made.
Don’t mind those people! Usually they are the ones with ZERO CREATIVITY so they feel resentful of you being able to use your GOD -given gift to earn a living. I and other creatives are very proud of you and do wish you the very best! Your bracelets are charming.❤❤❤😊
Yes girl, you get it!!! SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS PEOPLE!!
I watched 2 of your videos and then subscribed!
$5 dollars is so cheap! and the quality is so good! its worth the money, i reccommended this shop to everyone i know!
Slay girl ur product is going to blow up
honestly I'd rather buy something made from the heart instead of a multi-millionaire productions that has enough money
Yea, also companies like this have better quality than the cheap ones on Amazon
@@beingme._.eilonwy4571 exactly
@@beingme._.eilonwy4571 Where do you think she bought those plastic beads?
@@00jyjsarang exactly she also brought them from other companies
I also would rather pay money for something that wasn’t made in a sweat shop.
Support small business! When buying plur/rave/sport business you are buying the love and energy but into. That’s why home cooked meals are always best ❤️
you are such an inspiration. i’ve been wanting to have a bracelet business forever. The other day I finally made my first bracelet and put it up on my shop. Thank you
What many people don't realize is that when we make our items by hand it's a lot of dedicated work that is involved.
Sure you can buy things cheaper, but it costs money to make our items to sell and it's so disrespectful to try to cheap down our hard work. I feel just as passionate about making my totes/bags like high end companies do. And mine are just as beautiful.
It doesn't hurt to support people who are trying to make a living and produce beautiful handmade products.
Wishing everyone who is out there creating and selling their items the best. Keep being creative and never allow negativity to hinder your progress.🤗😊🌺🌺🌺👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
if you're the ONE who's making and shipping them then who is WE? 😭
Small business owners tend to say that I noticed
Lmao im starting my small business and will also use WE cuz it comes off as more professional pretending to have a "team" lmfao
@@minimo3634same
I love how gentle she addressed this instead of being aggressive or annoyed at the comment 💞
I make braclets but do not sell them and I do not like when people say you can buy them off of amazon because I understand and know how hard Small businesses work
Why wouldn’t someone rather support a small business over putting more money in Jeff besos’ pocket? Always shop small when it’s possible and you can afford to do so! Bracelets are not a necessity so if you’re buying one it’s cause you have the money to do so. Putting your money in places you believe in is so important. Anyone that comments that is most likely a child that doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation and how important it is to support small businesses over massive soon-to-be monopoly’s
May God bless you and your business. Stay motivated, consistent and enjoy being a servant to others with your creative gift that God has given
you. Speak positively always and don't forget God gave you
gifts and talents.
I love the packaging
As a small business owner too I would just like to say that you can buy similar things by big companies but you can’t buy that love and care you put into your products. I hope you get big someday ❤
As a person who makes jewelry, i can confirm making these type of stuff takes hard work and money also packaging and shipping takes money aswell. So please instead of barking about how its expensive just go buy the cheap Amazon ones..
I too sell mine for 2$ but my packaging, shipping isnt as luxury as hers so her price is absolutely perfect
Exactly right. Take pride in your craft girl! Get that money.
What craft? Putting beads on a string?
@@bripierce You really that bothered that you came down here to say all that for WHAT REASON? You a hater! Girl bye ✌🏻
@@bripierce you ever heard of something called "jewelry"?
Honestly until you start and run your own small business , people don’t realise how much more effort , time , love and money it actually requires. Especially when you don’t have a team of staff and it’s just you .
I totally agree
I love this, and those candies go so far. I made/sold my own body cream and dropped a few pieces of dark chocolate in the bag, and I received so much feedback putting that little snack in there 😊
As an independent business owner...HAD TO!!!💕💖
5 dollars is a good price thanks for being considerate about pricing
Just found this short today on my feed. I myself have a small scrunchie business, and yes, people don't know the amount of effort and dedication when making something handmade. Let alone having an online store, and running your business entirely by yourself.
They will talk, but never do. Don't listen to them, keep going!❤
Those bracelets are suuuuuper CUTE. Love from Mexico 🥰
The bracelets are a just a front for the starbursts with the molly in em,
Theyre fire af
The small business trend on tik tok started in 2020 and has died down bc people don’t want to buy repurposed crap. These are literally beads that a 3 rd grader could have put together so personally it’s not a product that screams quality or creativity unlike other things small business artists make. Also, if you’re interested in making a profit get smaller packaging, less advertisements, and no candy. All of the extra crap adds up.
