heirloomoriginals Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just ordered 10 of these from the co-op and can't wait to get them for my show in April. I currently have some from Jackel and I originally sold them for $14, but marked them down to $10 so I could get rid of them! I also gave away 2 free packs of melts with them (my two packs are around 1 oz each). My cost for the Coffee Cup warmers is $2.52, so marking them up 3 times is around $7.50. i would only give away 1 pack of free melts with these because I can't afford to give too much more away right now with prices the way they are.Just wondering what everyone else gets for theirs!Thanks,Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern.scents Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Right now, I sell mine for $5.00 each. When they get here, I open each box, add a tealight if it does not have one, add one melt, close the box, seal the lid, and label. I thought about going up do about 7.50 but I sell more at $5.00 than I would at 7.50 so it pretty much evens out in the long run. At $5.00 each with a melt included, they become a great option for Christmas presents for co workers, employees, teachers. I know that I sold out at one of my wholesale account store because a lady came in and bought all of her emplyees one. My grandmother bought the last few that I had last night to give as gifts to her Sunday school class on their birthdays.... They are great sellers. Here is a quick question though, I am assuming that you are including your cost of the melts in your cost right? The warmers didn't cost me but .93 each...

heirloomoriginals Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks, Southern. My cost included shipping and the hostess fee. My melts are $1.25 for a two pack. I am thinking maybe $6.25 or $6.50 with a tealight and melts included.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-soy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just a thought, but why not just round up to 6.95? According to marketing theory, a customer will not perceive much difference between 6.50 and 6.95...it will still register as less than $7.00 in their mind...that bit of difference will defray the cost of your melts.

heirloomoriginals Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Well, I did have most of my prices set to .95, but figured even dollars were easier! I will have to think about it. Walmart's prices are rarely even, so I guess that does make sense.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anceproducts Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 what coffee cup warmers are you talking about? just curious, i sell some really cute ceramic tulip warmers, but they run me a little over $2 each, then I add 4 tealights and sell them for $5.

heirloomoriginals Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Ance, these are just sold in a co-op. If you do a search for Coffee tealight warmers on yahoo (or google) you will find some.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayshapooh Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I bought these from the first two co-ops and this is how I packaged them (look at thread link below) and sold them for $8.50. I included a coffee bean wax melt clamshells with it. Huge hit during Christmas for that little gift everyone was looking to find!http://www.craftserver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63510&highlight=coffee+cupSandy~WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
