My last show for the season was on Tuesday. WHEW! I cant tell you how happy I am with finishing them.
This show was located in Sacramento. At the Secretary of State Building.
I did ok, I did make my booth fee back.
Interesting thing happened though....
A fellow vendor noticed how well I was doing. He is interested in adding my products to his business. He wants to buy in a large amount.
He says "I am interested in private labeling, what is your wholesale amount?"
I told him "Half the amount of retail"
He says "How do I get it down to 2.50 a bar"
I told him " I would have to make a very large amount of soap. In the 1000's"
He says "Can you do that? I would be interested. Can you email me your wholesale price list and information?"
I said "Sure"
I gave him a few samples of products that I had at the show.
Today (Wednesday)
Do you know this man has already called! :shock:
A possible 1500-2000 bar order... because he wants the price break.
But he wants it cut, and wrapped. So he can put his personal label on it.
So this is what I came up with for him.
Soap cut, and unpackaged (naked soap)
50 bars per scent
In order to get a price break to (2.50/bar) 1000 bars much be ordered
Soap cut & packaged
50 bars per scent
The only price break I can give is at 2.80/bar at 1000 bars
(Cost of labor/materials for packaging)
Anything less amount of soap will be at the regular amount of 3.00/bar
Reorder minimum
25 bars per scent
Minimum amount $300.00 per reorder
I also told him if he wanted quotes for other items to let me know.
What do you all think? Is it reasonable? I would have to get major help for a order like this.. and especially if he is constantly reordering.. If he can sell that much soap :shock: lol
Also, today I get a call from a woman ...
"Hi is this Shannan"
"Yes"
"Hi, I had a friend purchase some soap from you at one of your shows, and I loved your packaging, I am interested in having your items in my store"
"Oh well wonderful, where are you located"
"Blah Blah Blah"
"Ok, wonderful, when were you interested in stocking your store, and also I can send you some samples as well"
"I am interested for this month"
:shock: "Ok, I will have to check my stock and get back to you, this is the Christmas season, our most busiest time"
"Sure, let me know, I am looking forward to working with you"
"Thank you, you as well, your samples will also include a price list"
What the hell is up? :shock: Sounds wonderful...
To be continued with the results of all of this...
