Kraftlyy MNL started in 2024.
It has always been a dream of mine to set up and sell in person, because I wanted to experience firsthand what it feels like. We officially started doing our setups in May 2024. I was already so happy just seeing people stop and look at our products. You could see in their faces how much they appreciated them, and that alone meant so much to me.
Fast forward — we are now on Year 2! Even though some of the sellers beside us on the left were unfriendly, it warmed my heart when the sellers on our right approached us. Despite selling similar fuzzy wire products, they still took the time to tell us how beautiful our creations were, especially the bouquets. My heart melted. In that moment, I felt genuinely happy and fulfilled.
Hopefully, in our future setups, we will be more prepared. This Valentine’s setup was the hardest one so far — it really tested us. I honestly felt sorry for us every time our tent collapsed. But through it all, God stayed by our side. He guided us and gave us strength until we were able to sell out. I am beyond grateful.
This year’s learnings:
• Always be prepared for your setup, no matter the weather.
• Accept that not all co-sellers will be kind to you.
• Prepare more medium to large bouquets!
