I watched every commercial during this video as a way to "give back" to you for all that was taken. So sorry this had to happen to you. You and Cale are adorable and appreciated.

@chick-a-bee-farm 3 года назад

Your “high road” approach causes me to have even more respect for you. You are so helpful and SMART, and now we are reminded of what a good human you are. Thanks for being the beautiful person/couple that you are.

@SmallSuccessess 3 года назад

I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I just want to say that I have been so inspired by everything you guys have offered on your page but I KNOW that in order to make my own brand that it requires work from my side! Inspiration is NOT the same as stealing. I wish you all the best and also appreciate all of your vulnerability to help your followers as well. You know your worth and you will always rise against!

@michami1979 3 года назад

Omg I'd be fuming. I'm close to launching my soap business after 3 years of research and testing and we have to pay for product testing in Europe. (Im in the UK) if I found out that someone had plagiarized my entire business I'd go for their jugular.

I’m also a small soap making business in the Uk. Haven’t launched just yet but I’m getting there. Good luck to all soap makers.

I have to say that I am impressed on how you handled this situation, So professional.

@SheTechs 3 года назад

the fact you didn't dox the thief's pages speaks volumes on your level of professionalism! I'm old enough to be your mom and I can't say I would not have done more if someone was stealing my brand, my verbage, my craft! Keep on keeping on you guys, your vids are great and super inspiring.

@LaurenDenise 3 года назад

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I started stamping my soaps pretty early on in my business and I think that can really help deter others from stealing photos. It is more time consuming, but the peace of mind is worth it.

To steal when you share so generously is most unforgiving. My gosh!! Deplorable!

@therbstewart 3 года назад

Thank you both for posting this. While I was aware of the protections afforded to intellectual property from the moment of creation, I never dreamed that someone would go to these lengths to copy a successful shop. I am considering opening an online shop in the next 9-12 months, and I can't thank you enough for using this horrific experience to warn the rest of us out here - I will definitely take this into account when I start my branding. Thank you again - for everything that you both do.

@marleydesilio 3 года назад

You guys are a true inspiration. I'm very upset this has happened to both of you, you're so generous in sharing your experience to support other small businesses to also grow by providing valuable advice to problems you have had to find solutions to. Some people simply aren't creative at all and will rely on stealing other people's ideas instead of being original. These types of companies that only know how to copy and are lazy to have their own products and ideas are disconnected from the source of inspiration, companies like that don't last long, and don't go far. I admire the two of you and would like to thank you for sharing your wisdom on this channel. BIG TIME FAN! CHEERING for QUENCHSOAP!!! See you guys at the top! (probably at a tradeshow)

@gwenp3450 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing! I'm just getting started in my own soap business. I'm learning from you and others, and as my shop is in temporary hiatus while we move, I've realized that I need to do more to set this up like a real business when I reopen. Advice like this is timely and appreciated.

@tiffany7023 3 года назад

Y'all definitely handled it better than I would've. They'd have heard from my attorney by sun up. 😂

@cryingbroken8824 3 года назад

I'm more like you. In the end, I have to believe that Jerika handled it best.

@etcktryd 2 года назад

Tiffany, I'd say different, but not better. It's sad the thief had no consequences other than taking the stuff down - and probably moving on to the next site to steal. Sounds like Jerika (and her hubby) didn't even get financial compensation for anything, such as tech upgrades, maybe paying someone to help fix all their stuff, etc. So that's not cool. :-(

@estatesetc.9750 3 года назад

Thanks for all that you do, you help those of us that are thinking of starting our own businesses, soap or not. It is not easy, getting good clear advice that works. I hope this does not deter you...you are appreciated 🙂

@amyhoover2425 3 года назад

It hurts my heart for yall! I wish you all the best. Thanks for being an inspiration to us starting out. You have no idea how helpful yall are! Thanks!!

@SteampunkGroove_John3.16 3 года назад

As a business woman myself, I`m sorry that this happened to you guys! I`ve learned that there are lots of people on RU-vid who download videos that don`t belong to them, and then reload those and make money from the ads. In your case, it`s entirely possible that the culprits like you guys enough to mimic you and simply add their own contact info for sales purposes; it`s possible that they took the other photos from someone else, and don`t make any products at all. In other words, it may all be a scam, in which they fake-sell, and make lots of money from people who don`t want to leave home to shop at brick-and-mortar locations or are just in another country. This is why I myself only shop in the business locations near me; plus- if i need to return or exchange something there`s no issue with going back to the store. Some of what I`ve learned has been through fails, other stuff is through college, and the rest is through people like you.

@etcktryd 2 года назад

Steampunk, having a COPY of their entire website (and social media), their product names, their descriptions, their pics, their about us biz info, etc., etc., is NOT MIMICKING or even flattery or influence - it's called intellectual property theft!! And there is NO EXCUSE for it.

@623katjc 3 года назад

I think you guys are such good-hearted and kind business owners. It's such a shame you've had to experience someone profiting off of YOUR hard work, but I think you both have handled it BEAUTIFULLY, and are very courageous to share your unfortunate experience with others in an effort to help other small business owners avoid having this happen to them. I can imagine most people simply shutting EVERYTHING down, so kudos to the two of you for remaining so helpful, open though more cautious, and not allowing this to make you bitter. I wish you the very best of luck with your hard work and unique & beautiful products. You will undoubtedly capture many people's hearts with your positive attitudes as you're both obviously very genuine & good people.

The fact that they went to great lengths of laziness amazes me. Researching for inspiration is one thing but at this level it’s copyright. You have every right to be more than upset. I feel your frustration through the screen. My heart goes out to you and we are all forever grateful for helping us all on our journey to soap making.

@inesstack3589 3 года назад

@hotelhomesteadnovascotia 2 года назад

I have had this happen to me as well but not on a complete copy of everything. I started teaching soap making workshops a few years ago and discovered that several people taking the workshops were just attempting to copy what I was doing. One person actually did use my product in her pictures to announce the opening of her business. She had also been demanding I give her all my supplies and other info. I couldn't believe how bold she was and how angry she became when I called her out on it. I really enjoy your videos. I find you so honest about all the ups and downs of this business which is a great encouragement when I get discouraged and you have great tips that inspire me.

@jenniferr9585 3 года назад

@jacobzelch6209 3 года назад

I hate this. My husband and I own a small candle & soap shop and I absolutely love watching your videos because it’s so encouraging to see a successful couple living their dream and the tips and insight you give are extremely helpful, and they’re just fun to watch, so please don’t be discouraged!! There are so many people out there that love you guys, your products, your videos!

@paigezwicker2083 3 года назад

This is so upsetting to watch 💔 You guys are so kind and giving with the content you provide on your channel to help others on their journeys. To have someone straight up jack your intellectual property like that and have no desire to be original or put the work in themselves is so shameful. As always great video, you guys are superstars !!!

@sarahhines7704 3 года назад

You have been so inspiring to me and many others. Must have been horrifying. My heart and support to you both! I know from experience how difficult it is to come up with your own brand and logo. I'm in disbelief of how someone would think it's ok to steal your whole site. I started ordering some of my scents and colors from fizz fairy as per your recommendation but change most of the scent names to be my own. I also have ordered a few things from new directions because of your suggestion. You are so willing to share and offer suggestions. I thank you for sharing and hope this never happens to you again or anyone else for that matter. I hope it doesn't discourage you in the future I enjoy your videos so much your vibrant personality your vibe is just amazing 💙💙 A HUGE THANK YOU 2U BOTH 💙💙

That being said, thanks so much for all the work you two do, I'm going to add a few soaps to my holiday booths this year, I have learned so much from you lovelies, keep being you! Hopefully that person was a very young person (teen?)that did not know better. If they were an adult that stole intentionally, I feel bad for them, they will fail in the end and will never truly know how you feel inside to make something of yourself! Keep up the videos! Can you, or have you done one on just cool patterns, designs in the soap? I'm working on pretty now, lol!

@Munchkin325 3 года назад

I'm so sad and sorry this happened to you. It's said that experience is a good teacher, and while this was a terrible thing done to you, you turned it around into a teaching moment. It just sucks that this had to happen, but we all are a bit smarter about how to deal with our current and future business to avoid copycats/thiefs as best as we can. Cyber hug to you!

@alis9840 3 года назад

I'm so sorry this happened to you guys. You are an inspiration to the soaping community. Don't let one person have an impact on how you do things. That gives them the power. You guys are awesome! I so appreciate the business type of videos you do. I am trash at record keeping. I hope you make more. All of us less techie people out there are so so grateful!!

I have a business, but during covid, I put it on vacation for personal reasons and decided to start it up a few months ago because a friend asked to try it again. I was so interested in making the shower steamers and came to look for a good video, and I found you!! This is scary on all levels, and I am watching and responding as I prepare for church. I want to thank you for your honesty and transparency. For just giving this information about copyright (I know about this as I do some graphic art LOL). But it is sad that someone would copy word for word and use your pictures is just horrible. As you said, just move forward, and watermark your products and images... thanks for all this great advice!!! Wishing you continued success and I am so glad I found you guys!! xoxoxoxo Mags ♥

Omg you guys, that is so scary! A business website and social platform are so much work and it’s a life form of its own. I’m so scared of this happening to my hard work too. I would be sending the person who notified me a really nice thank you package. Your channel and products are so beautiful, the hard work shows😉.

Thank you for sharing, this is very empowering, I'm sorry you went through this. I had some people come up to me and ask for my products and put their labels on them, and it felt awful, so I will definitely take the steps that you are talking about.

Thank you so much for all you are doing for me as I am trying to start my own soap making business. I really appreciate all you are doing for others like me. You and your husband are doing great work.❤❤❤

wow I am so sorry. Some people are so lazy. This video has reminded me to also watermark my products. Thank you for sharing your journey and your skills with us.

I admire how you handled this, I am building a small business in Kansas and I have found inspiration in others like yourself. However, and this is a huge however.. I have never, nor will ever directly copy anyone. I would feel honored if someone drew inspiration from me, but again we owe it to ourselves to be individuals, work hard, build ourselves up with our own design, brand, creations... you can’t be proud at the end of the day when you’ve stolen from another. You guys are great, I just found y’all and I hope you keep up the good work!!! I use Shopify too, love it. ❤️

Hi, you guys are amazing! I have loved watching your journey and so enjoyed watching your videos, learning so much from you, so thank you x I thoroughly commend you for keeping so calm over this! I am seething just listening to what happened and I feel very angry that these parasites got off so lightly! They should be so ashamed of themselves! They are absolute parasites! So glad you have managed to keep calm and carry on. I wish you every success in the future.

The exact thing happened to one of my friends, not exactly soap business lol, but they copied exactly word-by-word his literature report in order to get in a high-end literature school in Vietnam, it caused tons of dramatics back then in our communities lol. Your business is very inspiring, and what you guys doing here is so amazing. I can't believe there are such stupid people, who think that they can do that BS and thought that they would never get away with that... You guys are amazing, keep on the good works.

So disgusting. There is a group called PhotoStealers that busts people doing this to photographers because it is such a huge problem. So sad that she did this. Glad you caught it! And thanks for the helpful advice to protect ourselves.

I AM VERY SORRY. YOUR RU-vid CHANEL IS AMAZING. so appreciate this video. STIIIIILL starting out it has been a long journey. I was doing the markets last fall when we could. I make bathbombs and I have gone back to making soap too it has been 15 yrs since I last made soap. I also make essential oil blends for migraines and liver problems, anxiety, etc. It is time to set up a website as I am always fighting with fb over my products and their new regulations. I will take your advice when setting up my web page. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
