Alajane Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've mixed up a few test batches of linen spray and really like it, but I just can't imagine that people would pay what I would have to charge for it. My cost for a 2-oz is $1.43 and $2.19 for a 4-oz bottle. Even at wholesale prices, I can't imagine people being willing to pay $3 for 2 oz; maybe $4.50 for 4 oz, but even that seems a stretch to me.I think my problem is that I'm a cheapskate at heart and always compare prices to dollar store prices--whereas hopefully customers will be comparing to department stores!Do you mind sharing what you charge for this and if it sells for you?TIA,Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraC Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 When I first started making them I called them linen sprays they did not sell now I call them room sprays and I sell a ton of them. I only sell the 4oz they sell for $5 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I sell room/linen sprays for $7 for 4oz, and they sell well.I just raised than to $8 though, we shall see.Karen M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern.scents Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I also sell mine for $5 for a 4 oz bottle and they sell great. People just love them. Market them as being instant, flame free, portable, whatever it takes to get your customers interested (with in reason.) I love them personally because they are easy to make.

Alajane Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Thanks so much for the responses--I just thought $5 sounded high for 4 oz, but I'm going to give it a try--I have a show coming up Labor Day weekend and I'm going to make some of those to sell individually, along with including them in some gift bags.Appreciate the help.Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 For me when I had them marked at $5 I could not give them away I jumped the price up to $6.50 they started flying of the shelves. Do not underrate them.After making them for years They are just an okay sellers for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to sell it at normal price, 14-16$ and its like its an entirely different product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForHisGlory Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 The September edition of Domino magazine was promoting the "sheet spray/linen spray" on page 92.I'm thinking of giving it a whirl. They said to mix your FO and Distilled water. Is that all you have to do?Did a search here and there is more to it than what Domino suggests. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
