jdscreations Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi Anna, what I would do is, figure out how much a case of candle would cost and then maybe give them 10% off of the total. For instance, if you can fit 10 candles in a case, that would be $100 dollars - 10% = $90. Or just charge them for the full amount. This is a personal opinion I think. But I would give a small discount for them ordering so many at once. HTH. Dawn:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Questions back to you are what's your minimum if you wholesale? Is it a case of containers (no idea about your containers or how many come in a case) or is it a specific amount people must spend before getting a price break?

Anna Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 Eight dollors would be my wholesale price.They are 16 oz apot jars,twelve to a case. Thanks,Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Maybe a percentage off would be my choice. It's only 12 to a case and they want one case. Larger quantities I would look at wholesale prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I would give them 1 free with case purchase. Incrementally~ if she buys 2 cases she gets 2 candles free per case, etc.Consumers LOVE the idea of getting something free. Just make sure you set a limit on it, for example~ if someone purchases 6 cases of candles, they are not getting 6 free with each case. Just up to 2 perhaps. Anything more I would offer wholesale pricing. I do this deal every Christmas sale and you would be surprised how many people bought a case (12) candles at the regular price because they were getting a *free* candle.

Fire and Ice Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I often have customers buy by the case from me at shows. Mine are $10.00 a piece too. I take $1.00 each candle and give them three or four clamshells too. The clamshells are free. My cases are 12 candles so it $108.00 + $10.00 in clamshells free. At the last show I was at, I sold five cases of candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
