Hi Laura, if I am understanding this correctly, you have already given a list of prices to the account? I know it is hard to raise prices. You have to consider a couple of things, if you have given them a price list, if it were me, and this were my first wholesale account, I would sell at the already given prices, foot in the door for the initial order. When you deliver the order, and I do deliver for free as the milage is an expense of the business, let your account know that the prices will be going up because the costs are going up etc..... I am sure the account is already aware of that. This actually gives the account the option of pricing off the new price you will be offering. It is kind of a trial anyway to see how the product sells etc... Don't consider it a loss, consider it the cost of doing business. It will show up on your profit and loss statement at year end, so you really can't lose. The price of utilities is tough to figure, so what I do is always put a buffer, of .25 cents on each candle after figuring my cost per candle. This has worked well for me. If you have anymore concerns pm me. I'd be happy to help if I can.
