With Earth Day approaching, I have yearned the idea of offering a digital rewards program where business stamp cards aren't needed. Then, I stumbled upon @paperlessperks and have joined to introduce our new digital loyalty card that can be saved and carried with in your Google or Apple wallet for @bobagems . If you would like to incorporate this also to your business, you can join with my affiliate link in bio 🔗 /?via=malisa790 However, if you very much prefer a physical card (I recently got a custom hand carved stamp by a local business @cataround_stamp and will happily stamp our physical cards). Download today to use for our next pop up by visiting our website / at the top of our page. We will be launching for use in June for these upcoming events but wanted to get the word out 🌎 🌱 Upcoming Mobile-Pop ups to use your Digital Loyalty Card 💎 @portlandfarmers (@builtoregon ) 5/30 💎 @ohsufarmersmarket 6/2 💎@veganizerpdx Asian Market 6/7 📸 @trenellev @tvpixx

NEW: WSW Products For Proceeds 💰 In a climate of reduced funding for women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ business owners, we need to get creative to keep our community in business. What can we do to take care of us? In honor of Women’s History Month I’m excited to announce @alist_wsw is dedicating 2026 to partnering with others to find out 🙋🏽‍♀️ When I reached out to Malisa Tep @simply.malisa to be our first WSW Product For Proceeds, she immediately said yes. I’ll cover the whole sale cost of the @bbteajars lid if it doesn’t sell, but if they do, WSW gets a percentage of the proceeds. Plus, I’ll help with marketing and I need a new lid myself⚡️ What happened next was Malisa exploring more merch ideas as an added revenue stream for @bobagems vs. using her custom lids for private events only. AND these lids came out so cute 🥰 👉🏽The WSW fund is completely separate of ALIST. It has its own checking account to fund WSW projects. Any donation to the GoFundMe goes directly into the account 💞 ➡️These bamboo lids are being offered for a limited time for $10 and $3 of every sale will be donated to WSW. Link in bio to get yours to help raise even more money to support women founders. Plus @bbteajars are eco friendly🧋♻️ If you would like to collab on a WSW product or project for proceeds this year, please don’t hesitate to reach out ✊🏽 Women power women 💫 #womenshistorymonth #investinwomen #womensupportingwomen #ecosystem #communityovercompetition

Let me share you my experience on a temporary space for two weeks. This isn't my first time being in the space. If I'm being honest, I was the guinea pig test trialing a retail cafe in 2024 at @crlportlandstate . I reintroduced myself as Boba Gems, on my soft launch rebrand while keeping BBTea Jars as merch. Goals for our retail/cafe space: - Give back to the community through @alist_wsw Women Supporting Women campaign - Test out bottled drinks to go for a circular economy initiative - Soft launch rebrand and showcasing catering rentals (mobile collapsible bar made by @gs.sweet.party ) and beverage dispensers for self serve boba bar - Promote eco conscious efforts with discounts when bringing reusable cup or purchasing @bbteajars We had major upgrade boosts that allowed us to bring in more traffic and I'm grateful to always continue returning back to @portlandstate as an alumni. We will be back in the Fall, two weeks in November. Stay tuned! Do you like these vlogging style recap videos? Leave a comment on what you think.

See my latest experience I had being a beverage sponsor for @pnw_wed 's Sustainable Wedding Show at the @worldforestrycenter Follow @pnw_wed as we are featured in their PNW Magazine either Issues 16 & 17 (coming soon!) 🫣✨ I invested $400 to being a beverage sponsor at a wedding show. I'm used to pitching my product and doing direct sales, so this experience was so much different. By being a sponsor, if allowed me to have my logo on the events page, receive a feature shout-out on PNW Weddings, and two locations where I display my beverage dispensers to pitch my catering service. I handed out info pricing sheets and business cards (in hopes that couples will book me possibly months to a year from now so sales aren't immediate). This event took place last month, Sat February 22nd and I have a pleasure to meet and connect more with so many amazing vendors including, but not limited to @sipandsocialpdx @littlebananabakery @sprig.and.spread @storyboothexperience @marshandmallowco @soco_andco @sb_wedding_exchange And many more... Tag yourself below if I missed you! ☺️ Thank you to all for following on my rebrand journey. More videos to come if you like vlogging, but valuable information style content
