Day in the life Small Business TikTok Vendor #ForYou Summit #scrunchies #smallbiz #dayinthelife

Introduction

As a small business vendor, preparing for the TikTok For You Summit was an adventure filled with excitement and a touch of anxiety. The journey began with packing up my car the night before, ready to make the trip from Belleville. With the goal of arriving by 1:30 PM to set up, I found myself navigating the city’s twists and turns to reach Toronto late, around 11 PM.

Upon arriving, the anxiety kicked in when I realized the venue doors didn’t open right away. I felt a wave of fear wash over me as I waited, battling insomnia until 3 AM, unable to settle down with the anticipation of the next day.

When dawn broke, I grabbed my little wagon filled with scrunchies—my pride and joy product—and made my way to the venue. They had custom-built booths for me and five other small businesses, all concealed behind a drape, adding an air of mystery to our grand reveal. The excitement bubbled as we prepared for attendees to experience our creations.

Surprisingly, the event turned out to be incredibly crowded—more than I ever anticipated. I was thrilled to meet so many familiar faces, including my friend Jessia, which made the day even more special. At an unforgettable moment during the summit, the incredible Nelly Furtado took the stage to perform, which was an exhilarating surprise.

I also want to take a moment to shout out my cousin, who came to lend a hand. Their support meant the world to me, and I would like to thank TikTok for creating this fantastic opportunity. All in all, it was a day to remember, filled with connection, community, and unforgettable experiences.
