Marcus Daniel Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 O.K. I always bought my blueberry muffin FO from WSSP. The FO has went up about $2.00 per pound and I want to try and mix my own. I was told at one time that it had cake bake in it. I don't know how accurate that is, but I guess I will try it. This is my #1 seller and I am selling wholesale, so I can't make the blueberry muffin candle more expensive than the other candles. I have previously send some of the FO off to have companies try and copy it and they can't even get close to it. I have never mixed FO's, so were should I really start, 50/50 ratio??? Help please, I am pouring the last of my blueberry muffin FO today and I hate the thought of spending $18.00 per pound, when my other FO's that I use are $16.00 usually for 2 pounds, I get them from Chemessence and have had great results. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 $2 per pound isn't much and you say its a bestseller? why would you want to change what works for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Daniel Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 My other FO's that I purchase I can get 2 Lbs. for $16.00 and now the blueberry muffin is $18.00 for 1 Lb. I can get double the FO for my money with my other FO's and I always told myself if the blueberry muffin goes up anymore, I won't purchase it anymore, the problem is I am like my customer's I love it also. I guess I will just have to suck it up and pay the big bucks. I am just glad that Yank** and the other big manufacturers are going up on their prices, because I can always under bid them, so far. Thank you for the reply, you helped me make my decision alot easier.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Big bucks.....OMG $18.00 doesn't even come close to paying big bucks LOL!!! The average of all my FO's combined is $21.00, some of my best sellers are close to $30.00/lb. My customers like unique, multi layered scents and they pay accordingly for higher priced FO's. If you have a good market for the Blueberry Muffin, don't change it or your customers will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
