Cindy/WI Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 8 & 12 oz Metro? I've done my math and for me I would have to charge $9.99 for the 8 oz and $12.99 for the 12 oz. Am I in the ball park with everyone else? TIA, Cindy/WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hi Cindy,I also sell a 12oz metro and I think your math is right on. I have to charge a little less, $9.00, due to the compition but my prices usually work out to around a dollar per oz - if I stick to my formula. I adjust based on competion and other factors. I haven't been selling very long though, so I'll be interested to hear the other response on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlewitch Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Just think, Yankee gets $11.00 for a 3.7 ounce candle that doesnt scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scntdwik Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I was in a Hallmark store the other day that was selling 12 oz Apoth 'style' jars for $26! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hewells Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I also am carrying the 8 and 12 oz metros and did some internet research and it appears that the 8 oz are selling between $7.00 and $11.00 and the 12 oz are selling between $12.00 and $17.00. So I think your pricing is in the ball park. It depends on the area that you are in and what type of buyers you have. I usually go about a dollar an ounce on my regular candle line. It may be a bit more with some specialty items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The only reason I decided to go to $ 9 on my 12 Oz Metro is because I can make up for it on my 6 oz jar. The 6 oz cost next to nothing to make ( the jars were a steal ), so I try to make up the difference there. I think it's important not to cheat yourself. My 12 oz may have a low price but my 6 oz is the one that sells really well. So that's where I look for the profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
