Your approach is very professional, no wonder you have wholesale customers after only a year in business. This video clarified things about wholesale - thank you! If you would like to show your catalog, it would be fun to see it because your graphics are so great. I'm sure it's top notch :)

Thanks so much for watching! And that's good to hear - I'll work on a video with more info about my catalog :)

Thank you for the insight and the information that you provided as a business owner. I’m a small business owner myself and I also make quite a few items that you make. Everything in your video has given me great value. Thank you !

Thank you!!! Very helpful! You sound so knowledgeable for being in business a year! I wish you the best! I’m thinking of this route as I can’t afford my own website and getting lost in a sea of Etsy sellers. Seems tough to sell direct to customers. Wholesale sounds worth it!

New follower here! Glad I found you. I hope to get more into wholesale ❤

Hoping to get more into this next year. I’ve only just started doing a little more research into stores in my area. I’m not in a greatest uh…geographical location, but we’ll see!

Thanks for posting. I’m an importer of goods into the US. How do I find wholesale buyers for my category?

@tarawhite8847 2 ай бұрын

So what would you say would be the minimum amount of product (soaps) for wholesale? I was thinking 100 but I could be ambitious lol

@luminousbynature Жыл бұрын

Wonderful information! I'm looking into wholesaling soon but I'm waiting on learning more on product liability insurance. Do you have any info/suggestions on insurances?

@hellobushyl Жыл бұрын

Oh, great call! I definitely recommend getting that squared away! I was using Next for soap insurance but then had to switch to another company because they didn’t cover candles. I can’t remember the new company’s name but I think I just googled coverage and found a pretty good option :) good luck!

Can you give an example of what you would put in the subject line of your email and do you send the emails from your business email account? I ask because I believe a lot of mine are going to promotions. Thanks!!!

@hellobushyl Жыл бұрын

I do send it from my business account but I think as long as you’re sending it to just one person, it won’t go to promotions, although I’m not positive.

@@hellobushyl Thanks for replying. What's an example subject line you would use? I always get caught up on this part.
