woolfswickery Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hello!I have been contacted by someone wanting to do some wholesale on my candles. I was just wondering what prices your wholesale goes. She is interested in my 10oz apothecary and 16 oz apoth. I sell them for $10.00 and $15.00 each. I do a 60/40 on fundraisers. I just have not had anyone ask my about wholesale before. Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YooperCandles Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I only have two small wholesale accounts but what I do is figure my cost to make the candle and double that. For example, it costs me $2.00 to make an 8 ounce jelly jar candle. I charge $4.00 for wholesale and $6.00 for retail. Other items I get more for retail but always double my cost for wholesale and round to nearest quarter.HTH - Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 my shops take 30% off the top, but some others will add the 30% markup so that you still get your retail amount. a lot depends on the market the shop brings in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 For wholesale, the norm is usually 50% off retail. However, there are some who only offer 40% or even 30% off retail. Some have pricing that starts at 30% off, but the more your order, the greater the discount, up to 50% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
