Thank you so much. You're the most generous big soapers out there, who are actually willing to share the details of the business. I really enjoyed your farmer's market videos.
I am surprised that your chalk marker doesn't come off with, like an alcohol prep or a Lysol wipe. You shouldn't have to repaint them every time. Thank you for the informative video and God bless.
Today was my first ever "vendor event" and it such an amazing success because of your tips! The best tip was to get a card reader! About 95% of our sales today were done with a card. Thank you soooo much! Really, thank you!
@@calezimmerman2435 I just had another event. About 1/4 of the sales were through cards. Even if it's small and people are generally trying to move away from the contact payments, there are always people that have issues with their phone services and need to use their card. Next thing I have planned is to make a QR stand with my cricut so it's easier for people to do the contactless payments.
That’s team work. It’s awesome that your husband is so supportive and involved. I would have loved to have gotten a short glimpse of your market setup. Just a view of how everything looked liked before your kicked off your farmer’s market sell ☺️. Love your videos and the music, thanks for sharing so much.
Hi from Florida! I recently started watching your channel and I love it! You two come across as hard working, laid back, and thoughtful! Thank you for sharing this video with all the much appreciated content!
Hello! Thanks for the kind words!! Yes it’s been a long journey but we still think that it must be enjoyed and it’s important to have fun along the way!! Thanks for watching!
I loved this video! So important for especially new vendors getting started. I wished we had someone to help us with our set up when we first started out.
I've done 2 fairs now and missed 2 (due to rain). It has been so fun, recognizing customers and having them get excited to see me after only one other interaction. I did leave some of my bombs and sniffer soaps unwrapped because they put off fragrance that draws them in. And totes are amazing! I bring almost everything every time. I also noticed that all the gift boxes I put together for mother's day sold out, so bundles are what really grabs attention!
I have the free square reader, had I not had it this last weekend I would've lost at least $200 in sales. I also have a PayPal and venmo that I have as an option with my QR code on clear view.
Thank you for being so generous with information about your business. I have not done any farmers markets but would like to. I watched how you prepare for that today. With summer around the corner, I really need to do a lot to be ready and your video is priceless toward that end.
MY GOODNESS ARE YOU TWO A LOVELY POWER TEAM!! YOUR VIDEO EDITING IS ALWAYS SO PERFECTLY INTERESTING AND I LOVE YOUR RELAXING , BEAUTIFUL MUSIC....SO SOFT AND SOOTHING WHILE BASKING IN YOUR TUTORIALS💕
Great information! I definitely needed this. You guys are great. Everything is so much fun until…the labeling lol. Labels are not my favorite thing. Oh well, it’s a must be done and I really try to enjoy it but I’m just not there yet 🤣. I am noting so many things from your videos. Very helpful. Thanks for sharing and continued success to Quench!
Oh, I just thought to mention that bamboo dish drainers are great for displaying bar soaps and they are collapsible they are very easy to carry and store. Not sure about your complete setup but that just came to mind and thought I would share.
Hi jerika just a FYI if you wipe your chalkboard signs with coke you won’t have to paint over the sign. The coke stops that chalky dust and keeps it black. 😊
Well done as always!!! I really appreciate the time you take to make quality products but also the extra time y'all put in to video and edit to share with us! Thank you! Blessings from Virginia! ~jc
I love your channel! I am going to be a nail tech and I want to open my own salon sooner or later. I’m just starting to make my own cuticle oils but making my own soap, sugar scrubs, lotions, etc… would be fantastic!!
I absolutely love your videos! I wish I could afford your products but I can't afford the shipping. I'm starting my own business from my tiny apartment with my 3 kiddos. I have bath salt blends and some bath bombs. I'm still trying to figure out how to set up a website, Etsy and how to get more product made and ready to sell. I'm currently hand mixing which is so very hard. But I just really need to help my family financially. I have a rare disease so I can not work. And I homeschool my kiddos. Some day are so so hard. But you give me hope! Your so beautiful and generous with all your information. I'm still trying out different formulations for my bath bombs. I struggle with them crumbling, falling apart, too soft or the mix getting too wet. I can't afford a dehumidifier. I'm waiting on some supplies that you recommended. But were now scared. Because my husband isn't bringing home enough money for all our bills. And still no change on our tax refund status. Which we rely on every year to get by. I hope maybe I can get some advice from you somehow. One day I hope I can buy your entire line! I want to support you so much. Thank you for everything you do! ❤
Eva's Organic Creations on Facebook is my page. It's not much at all so far but it's there. If you can tell me how to make it better. That would be amazing.
I just got my square for June's market and couldn't be more excited! I got it after watching a previous video, thank you for the recommendation!! Good luck for the fair!!
Lots of great tips and tricks here! Thank you for sharing! We are getting ready to start markets again here as well! Can’t wait!I would love to see your products set up at the event❤️
Love this video and gives me great idea to improve my tables and product transport. Thursday start our farmers market. I am labeling soaps as I watch your video
Have fun and sell loads at the market. I did well on my first pop-up shop a week ago. I was pleasantly surprised. I took all my inventory with me expecting to sell it all lol. It was nice getting a feel of how things will be. I also have one of those storage bins but it's more like a night stand with 3 drawers. I love how beautiful your products look and I keep my Pina colada lip balm with me always❤️. You gave me an idea on the clear labeling I have to look into some new ones, I think I've found my design just would like to try the clear background too. So nice, you and Kale have a wonderful and blessed day ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!! It was actually a record-setting day that market. I’m guessing Mother’s Day had something to do with it! Nearly sold out of bath bombs 😀
Great info...chalk marker wipes off with a cleaner and Michael's is also prevalent in the U.S. too, just thought I'd add those things, not trying to be nit picky. You guys are awesome and I love watching your videos. Go Hawks!
I just got the chalk markers from Michael's and I use simply green or a glass cleaner to clean it off. I spray directly on the sign, let it sit for a second then everything wipes off
Hi Jerika, thanks for another amazing video. I appreciate all the advice you give and your support! I would like to know where can we find where all the farmers markets in Ontario are from January to December. Please can help us in our search for markets. Thank You 😊 Donna
i know this is from year ago, but i used to work at a grocery store doing signage and we used Charlie's Soap to take paint marker off the produce signs. It works like a charm, and is nontoxic!
I will be participating in my first farmers market tomorrow with wax melts sprays and lips balms! Im excited but nervous all at once. I’ve wrestled so much with how much product to take 🤦🏾♀️.
HI! I live in a very hot and humid area. I have an event on Saturday, and I wanted to bring my bath bombs with some silica packets inside my glass containers. Will that work or should I just leave them home? They are my biggest sellers. Thanks!
Hi .. I love everything about your channel!! I’m new to soap making and you have encouraged me so much! ??What should my labels include as far as ingredients???
Hi Jerika! I just found your channel and am enjoying it so much! Thank you for sharing. I would like to learn how to make soap and was wondering how I could learn to make soaps that are beautiful like yours. I'm a complete newbie but willing to learn. Do I take a course or do you offer one? Please tell me how you learned. Thank you so much!
I love all of your videos Jerika 😊 You inspired me so much that i actually started my own little at home based business too!! This year i started selling bath bombs in an outside farmer’s market and it was great 😊 I took all of your advices and it helped me lots!! So thanks for that ❤️ Question though, how do you keep your bathbomb colpra from fading? I use dyes and lakes and the dyes faded so much. My bathbomb colors faded in areas where it was exposed to the sun. How do you keep yours from fading? Your advice would be greatly appreciated ❤️ Thank you!l and more power to you and Kale 😊❤️
What kind of table cloths do you use and where did you get them? I am doing my first farmers market. I sell crochet items I'm so excited! Your vid helped a lot. New sub here lol
It would have be nice if someone inSA can do this allso especially in each province .People keep this info to themselves and we must order at takealot or wich or some place that is not far but their aim is only to sell their products. So thank t You so much.can you PLEASE convert the way you measure the ingredients in different sizes or total so it wont turn out a no go product every time.
I'm surprised your price signs don't wipe off. I have similar chalkboard signs and use chalk markers. When I want to change one I just spray it with rubbing alcohol and it wipes right off.
@@JerikaZimmerman these are the ones I've been using. Give it a try. Hopefully it keeps you from having to repaint. them. www.walmart.com/ip/Marvy-Uchida-Bistro-Chalk-Marker-Fine-Tip-White-28617940014/494600785
I've considered getting branded tees made, do you recommend that? Also, what kind of signage or branding do you do? I want to get stickers for my car and a banner for the booth
Thanks for the video. There are a few farmers markets I want to sell my products but there's always competition and the space are $150 for one day for 6 hours. Not sure if it's worth it. What do you think?
@@JerikaZimmerman some are $50 but it has been a waste of time. The $150 are bigger events but can also back fire on going having 2 other soap/bath vendors and not selling enough due to competition and prices . I've noticed some group of people tend to buy cheaper products so they will go to the cheaper soap business 😞
Would love to see everything setup and how it all looks together :)
There is a video for that if you search it. Hey have a really great set up
Coming soon!
Thank you so much. You're the most generous big soapers out there, who are actually willing to share the details of the business. I really enjoyed your farmer's market videos.
My first product that sold was my lip balm. I followed all your instructions and now I have repeat customers. Thank you for your suggestions.
Fantastic to hear! I hope you get many more sales as the season goes on!!
I am surprised that your chalk marker doesn't come off with, like an alcohol prep or a Lysol wipe. You shouldn't have to repaint them every time. Thank you for the informative video and God bless.
I was thinking the same thing. Why paint over when it’s already chalkboard surface?? But loved this video! Very informative. Thank you !!
Please make more farmers market videos I love these !
Coming soon!
This is definitely the video I needed! My husband and I are getting ready for our first vendor event.
Good luck!!! It’s so nerve wracking!
This is an amazing Video and such a great idea. Thank you for taking the time to make these! Blessings!!!!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
Today was my first ever "vendor event" and it such an amazing success because of your tips!
The best tip was to get a card reader! About 95% of our sales today were done with a card.
Thank you soooo much! Really, thank you!
That’s incredible! Your day would’ve been completely different if you didn’t have the reader!!

As a soaper in NY in the USA I love seeing others ppls set up so I can grow
Awesome! Hope its me soon. Try hand sanitizer to clear off your chalk boards. It works for removing sharpie ink.
I love how those clear labels look,because it allows people to see the full beauty of the products.
Hi Fellow Omnipodder!! 👋🏼 💪🏼
Hello! Best piece of diabetes management equipment I’ve ever experienced! Will never go back!

I love how transparent you are with your business.
Super helpful! Thank you!
Ditto, would love to see your setup and everything ready to go at the market if you can film/post pictures of that!
Probably will be the next video! :)
I LOVE seeing “the kid” packing up getting ready to work..... “Go Get Them”
Putting him to work!!! 🥰
My farmers market starts in two weeks, its my first year and im super nervous
Would love to see a video of Quench at the farmers market...so we can see your setup!
Coming soon!

For the mini chalk board, I got a 4 pack for $1 at hobby lobby.

Hi Jerika! Good luck on your farmer´s market! I have a question: Do your paper bags have your company´s name?
we use a styrofoam cooler to vend our body butters and lotion bars from during the summer months

Where do you get your bio shrink wrap? I've been having a hard time finding it.
Jerika do you not have to list ingredients, contact info, etc - I'm in US and having to do all this is crazy because it requires so many labels
It would have be nice if someone inSA can do this allso especially in each province .People keep this info to themselves and we must order at takealot or wich or some place that is not far but their aim is only to sell their products. So thank t
You so much.can you PLEASE convert the way you measure the ingredients in different sizes or total so it wont turn out a no go product every time.
How did it go?? Looks like you thought of everything. Love your videos.
It went REALLY WELL! But it may have been the fact that Mother's Day was the next day.
Hey sweet, i dont't understand how to do the labeling, what machine are you using. Love you guys
What’s the average bath bomb price? Don’t want to under price I use your recipe ❤️ also where did I get your stair looking shelves for your soaps?
What do you wear to markets? Do you have custom shirts and jackets with your brand logo?
What supplies are a must need for a beginner?
Bring aa charged Belkin charger as a backup to charge your square🙂
That's an awesome tip!
What is the fastest way to learn how to make soaps?
Do you charge a different price for your tall/skinny bar vs short/wide bar of soap?
What is the machine you are using to cut and seal the plastic?
what molds do you use for your shampoo bars?
Check out some of Jerikas’s videos on making the shampoo and conditioner bars!! Thanks for watching!
Jerika! Where do you get your grapefruit fragrance?
Hello loved the video. I’d like to know if your labels are biodegradable too. Haven’t see here in my country yet. Thank you
what kind of machine do you use make your labels ???
Where do you get your label paper from and what kind of printer do you use?? Thank you
💕💕💕💕💕
How longs are your tables?
What is the name of paper wraper cutter you are using I need to order that please help.thank you

Hi Jerika
Would you mind telling me what size your soap labels are as I’m having a nightmare finding the right size 😫 for the old soap you make thanks
they're the 2"x2" size :)
@@JerikaZimmerman thank you ❤️
I've considered getting branded tees made, do you recommend that? Also, what kind of signage or branding do you do? I want to get stickers for my car and a banner for the booth
We’ve been meaning to get some shirts made but haven’t yet! We’ll often have a sandwich board sign out listing our products.
Hi Jerrica how many batches of soap do you need to make a week to keep up with farmers market season? TY
about 6 batches a week!
Thanks for the video. There are a few farmers markets I want to sell my products but there's always competition and the space are $150 for one day for 6 hours. Not sure if it's worth it.
What do you think?
Wow!!!! That’s a lot. My farmers market table fees are $25-30 a day! I have spent that much for tables at events which promise a lot of traffic.
@@JerikaZimmerman some are $50 but it has been a waste of time. The $150 are bigger events but can also back fire on going having 2 other soap/bath vendors and not selling enough due to competition and prices . I've noticed some group of people tend to buy cheaper products so they will go to the cheaper soap business 😞
