question on volume soap request

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I sold my soaps at a craft fair on Sunday, and today I

received a voicemail message from a customer who

purchased from me at the fair. She is asking for 30

to 40 bars of my soap and also inquiring as to what

price break I could give her.

I do not wholesale my soaps yet, because I don't

purchase my ingredients in large enough quantities to

offer a price break. That is a future goal, but now I

purchase my oils in gallon size and I don't have

enough space in my apartment to store large volumes of

soap. I am fine with craft fairs and ocassional

internet sales.

What are some of the key questions should I ask the

customer who called me. I can't imagine a customer

asking for 30 to 40 bars of soap and a discount unless

she wants to resell them - I could be wrong on this.

I am open to your thoughts on this as I do eventually

want to wholesale, but that is a goal down the road,

when I get a larger space.

Kind regards,

Pat Armstrong

Everyone has a different way of selling wholesale. I suppose of lot of it

depends on how much profit you are making in the first place. I can only tell

you what I do. The customer has to buy $200 or more in product retail and

then I give a 30% discount.
