Trappeur Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 With your beautiful packaging I don't think 10 bucks is too much Kelly. Well at least in my area in a particular shop like where I sell to I know they would walk out the door. Geesh you have time invested in these things and they are not chunks of wax but little pieces of art! Geesh the shop I sell to that really is doing a killer business with the wine candles that I wholesale to sell my 8oz tins for 14.95! I wholesale them for 6.00. That's an unbelievable markup I would say. I need to mark up my wholesale prices! Now on another note, if you are putting these on your Shiny Hiny website, I would go for it. This is the way I look at it......Your site, your up close beautiful photography, your packaging and presentation and beautiful very unique and different labels scream classy upscale soaps. Your site to me shows quality products, products that you can tell just by the pictures are produced with time by someone who loves what they do. When I had my store, I did a lot of shopping and looking always on the internet and I would by pass a shabby looking site with poor photography even if they had a wonderful product. My feelings are if your are putting in all the time and effort to make a beautiful product, why not go the extra step and present your product so it shows off? I'm a stickler for presentation, presentation, presentation all the way around and you have it going on. So in answer to your question? Yep! Sell them for 10.00!

GoldieMN Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Definitely a great price. You will sell out in no time. People looking for unique gifts, stocking stuffers in the $5-10 price range at my sales. And these are so beautiful, so unique, depending on the market, they could sell for more. Using 464, how do you get those colors so vibrant and no frosting? Goldie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Thank you for your kind words. Yes, there is a lot of work in these for sure. So I didn't think 10.00 was too much but wanted some feedback just to be sure. ?? You definitely need to up your wholesale price too!! Kelly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur I'm team Trappeur on this one ! $10 is not too much Kelly. They are very detailed & I again agree with Trsppeur, presentation tells the story to me anyhow. I too bypass online shops that look sloppy . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belinda Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Ten dollars is a very fair price. You have put a lot of work and time in your wax and usually as crafters we don't get paid for the time we put into our product. They look great by the way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansmommaya Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think ten dollars is a really good price. I have no idea what the tarts go for in stores or what the voldemort of candles sells theirs for, I do know that between ten and twenty dollars is the work place price limit on Holiday gifts. So that seems like a good price point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to work pretty quick once it's whipped. I just spoon ? it on. I do a few and then add my embed, then do a few more. Not gonna lie, it's a big pain in the butt.
