Janette Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Just wondering if you would share your pricing with me. I'm thinking of adding clamshell melts, but cost of clamshells seems high. What do you charge for yours. Do you find that they sell well for you, or are they more popular in the US market. I really haven't seen melts outside of the Dollar Stores.ThanksJanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsy Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I sell mine for $2.99 each....Like you said, the cost of the packaging is high, but I like it better in the clamshells. I was using a tart mold and shrink wrap to package them. It was time-consuming. So it is one trade-off for another. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thanks Patsy. I was thinking of the $3 range. You are right about the savings of labour, probably makes the cost worth while.Janette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candlewitch Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Whats high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patsy Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Shells cost about $0.35 each and then shipping and labelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 I found the clamshells at Village Craft and Candle, 35 cents, with shipping likely around 40 cents (per 100). My first though was that this would put material cost aroung 1/3 of retail @$3.00. This seem high, definately couldn't wholesale these at that rate. But I plan to give them a try for my own retail sales.Thanks for your replies.Janette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
