Hey foundooors, need some advice. I have an opportunity to be in a consignment store near me. Rent is $200/mo at a 3mo contract. The problem with other retailers is that candles are so saturated, so unless I’m first in the shop, most consignment stores will not accept me. It is in a semi popular mall but I’m uncertain of the food traffic and if it’s the right demographic because it’s mostly upper/middle class/young professionals/families. I do feel the urge to physically get in front of customers though to work on my messaging, but the alternative is that I just booth at craft markets (each craft market is around $150-200 a day anyways). What questions should I ask the owner to make sure it’s the right fit?

I know you've probably considered this but I've bought countless candles from friends I've met here online. Is it possible to spin up a frame and pay in degen tips? I'm sure many of us would buy in support around these holidays etc. This wouldn't be in place of your consignment deal here but a supplement. Please let me know how to purchase regardless. I'm a candle buyer 🔥

I launched a degen frame actually in May/June but it had very low traction (maybe 2-3 sales). My theory is that the people who actually want candles prefer to pay in USDC/eth and are actually bigger buyers - like 2/3/4 candles at a time, so that exceeds the daily tip. The other problem is the volatility of the token and also verifying that the tip has gone through. I have taken tips for degen but charge 250%+ because the volatility, and waiting for the airdrop isn’t good cash flow. I am happy to take a tip from you at 250% in degen since I trust you. I hope you understand my reasoning! If not, you are always welcome to pay in eth/USDC at the regular price. And thank you for asking.

No problem! Whenever you’re ready just DM me which candle you’d like and your location and I can give you a quote in eth. 😊 https://humankind.place
