Wholesale

I recently received an email asking me if I would wholesale to a lady with an online boutique. I have never done this before and was wondering if anyone has any advice they would like to offer?

I think it has the possibility to be a good thing. Just make sure that if you are giving a wholesale price that you get larger quantity orders and specify your minimum requirement of items in an order.

I agree with AmandaJoHandmade.. Make a list of your regular purchase costs. Then notate that for every amount purchased you give additional discounts. For example:
0-10 items: regular price
10-20 8% off
20-50 15% off
Or whatever you think would be best. It could end up being a great customer that comes back often :)

If it is a true wholesale agreement (and they have worked with others before), they will probably be looking for a discount of between 40-50% off of what you're selling them for in your shop. So depending on what you're selling, it may not be worth it to do a wholesale agreement. I agree with what the others have said about setting minimums and maximums when you talk with them.

Thank you all. This all helps a lot.
