Candybee Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I've been selling my lip balm in tubes for $2 each or 3 for $5. Just wondering what you all sell yours for. I know I should raise my price a bit but not sure what the average is now. Some of my customers have been surprised I don't sell them for $3 or $3.50 each. That seems high to me. Would love some input on this. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestagano04 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'll be selling lip balm for the first time at craft shows this coming fall, and I plan on pricing them at $3.00 per tube, or 2 for $5.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturallyTru Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 $2.50; but I have some shops that bump it to $3.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I sell them for 3.00 and some times I do a special 2 for 5.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 $3.00 for me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriLynn Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 $2.50 each... 3 for $6 ....For 2 years we had our lip balms priced 3.00 each.. 2 for 5.00 and could barely move them. Last year we changed our pricing to 2.50 each or 3 for 6... we sold tons of lip balm last year and still make more than 4 times the cost.

Noodle Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I sell mine for $2.50 each, and I think my price is too low. I do not offer bulk deals unless 10 or more are purchased. 3 for $5.00 is too cheap girl! Get the cash that your lip balm deserves. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) $3.50 per tube, $10.00 for 4. AT LEAST $3.00 a tube is acceptable, imo. After all, they are buggers to pour, label, cap, shrink wrap... alot of work goes into one lip balmPS I have a shop that sells them for $5.00 each.

Candybee Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks for everyones help. I just did a farmer's market this weekend with my new prices. I sold them at $3 or 2 for $5. Nobody batted an eyelash at that price and most preferred the 2 for deal. So I will continue with that price this fall and see how it goes.

mychellec Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I only sell a lip balm and body butter, but the balm is priced at $3.50 retail, $2.50 wholesale. I use very nice ingredients and more work goes into lip balm, as Luminous stated, than a lotion for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Mine have been $3, two for $5 for years and everyone buys two, votives I sell $2 each, three for $5 and rarely sell one of those either. People like the "deals" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B@BlissStreet Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm new to lip balms...are these prices still viable as this thread is over a year old? Any input will be most appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 For the past year I upped my prices to $3 a tube or 3 for $5 and they are selling great at these prices. Hope I am not underselling myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franu61 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 2.75 or 2/5 here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 For the past year I upped my prices to $3 a tube or 3 for $5 and they are selling great at these prices. Hope I am not underselling myself. 3 for $5? That is a pretty steep discount ($5/3 = $1.66 each which calculates to about 46% off) for 3. Was that a typo? I don't usually discount much until a quantity of 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Do you mean 2 for $5 Candybee? I am guessing it was a typo. Your stuff is worth a lot more than that! I still have my lip balms at $2.50 each. I do not offer bulk deals unless 10 are purchased. Then, I just give a free tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriLynn Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm at $2.50 as well... can't move them at $3.00. $2.50 or 3 for $6.00.... we sell tons of balms at holiday time at 3 for $6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandleindulgence Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hi,I sell my lip balms for $3.50 with no problems at all. I have seen some sell for as much as $8.99. I think that's way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumina Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I checked this thread before I started selling my lip balm. I had a big craftshow this past weekend and sold 29 tubes...I was dancing..So I sold 1 for $3 or 2 for $5, most people bought 2. There was another person selling hers for $1.75, but she wasn't selling much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
