Unique Ways to Move Product We re-arrange our racks customers think we got new clothes in works EVERY time! We also do Lives to ready a broader audience. We’ve done 2 this week and they’ve been awesome! My sale live today got rid of an entire rack full - the royal boutique and company
I RARELY RARELY ever mark things down!!!! I will usually do a 10-20% off then I will wait until after the sale, take new pics of me wearing it and then people buy at it at regular price lol - the pretty hot mess
I’m adding a second weekly live (main one is new arrivals) and will be showing different things and doing either gift with purchase, spin the wheel or some other small incentive! - clothed in confidence
Style it a new way, especially as the seasons change to make the piece(s) work for the upcoming season. Toss a long sleeve shirt on with capris or shorts instead of a cardigan or jeans to give it a spring vibe, etc. - ac and crew

Artisan soap + natural beauty goodness. We’re in the business of creating beauty and helping your skin to glow. I’m Lindsey, an East Texas momma, wife and creative soap maker. After graduating from Texas A&M in 2004, I started my career in Architecture & Construction, but my true passion to create was just getting started! My desire to create evolved into opening a little flower-shop, Tigerlillies Florist, in 2007, it was a little storefront on Commerce Street. It was magic, an old historic building with huge display windows, crystal chandeliers and original hardwood floors. It was there that my creative passions continued to grow, tiptoeing between floral design and starting our side gig of soap making, in 2016 we finally offered our first soap bars up for sale! 🤩 …you wouldn’t even recognize them now, really! What started as a side passion to help stock the front of our storefront gave life to an entirely new venture, let me introduce you to Tigerlillies Soap! As our product line grew we balanced the flowershop and our soapery. In 2018 we were invited to share our soaps with the Magnolia family at Silobration, Christmas at the Silos and Spring at the Silos as vendors! This little dream side gig was taking flight. We launched our wholesale line at DMC in January of 2020, and could’ve never dreamed what was coming. While our journey seems much like a fabulous whirlwind in print, these years were filled with anticipation and whispers and prayer. Lots of Prayer. We celebrated our successes, gained wisdom from our hardships and redirected more times that I’d like to remember. Learning to lean in on my faith was the real journey. Trust the journey, follow your Leader.
In May of 2021 I sold my first dream and turned over the keys to my beloved storefront flowershop, with this change Tigerlillies Soap had my full attention! Our mission is pretty simple, to share our soaps with a greater purpose. Our souls are connected by one God, and sharing our soaps connects each one of us. Allowing women feel feminine and beautiful and clean in every corner of the world. Cleanse your body, revive your soul. Walking away from where you started - to follow where you’re being led, is hard! It’s raw! It’s personal! I am so grateful to have found Instantboss at the very moment I was destined to, the path was laid before me, learning to trust it, patiently, has been the challenge! Like most of us entrepreneurs, we have a fire spirit, to chase and challenge and conquer, but when my Maker tells my soul to be still, I have learned to listen, I am so grateful for His patience and mercy. As the Tigerlillies Soap story continues to grow, I hope yours does as well. Not knowing what’s to come is possibly the best kept secret, trust the journey! Lindsey B Terry Tigerlillies Soap

Tips for Market I’m no veteran, but have quickly learned to have something printed with Bill to/Ship to information, go SLOW!, take your time and look around the first and even second time there, take pictures, give yourself time to think/plan & try not to get blinded by the lights. - style and hart
Take the free market tour that is offered by the market and don’t plan a quick trip. Use the days. - the boutique I always check the vendor list and make my own list of vendors I want to make sure I see. Markets can be overwhelming and having that list helps me a ton! Of course picking up new vendors is wonderful too, but being able to cross off the vendors on my “must see” list, helps keep me focused and saves me tons of time in the long run! - Preslee & co.
•wear comfortable shoes •if you see something you absolutely LOVE on the first day.. BUY IT. So many say not to, but I lost out on SO many items I wanted at Atlanta market because I chose to keep looking and do my ordering the next day. •write everything down, I write ship dates on my invoices, and then when I get back to the hotel I put them in a calendar. - bellabee
