I sell at a Farmers Market. I actually make more money selling in smaller quantities. People are willing to pay $2.00 for an individual cookie or muffin. I don't think I would get $24.00 for a box of a dozen cookies.
@elguis2011094 ай бұрын
I agree with you that mostly people unless they have atleast 5 people in their family would not go for a dozen, as say this but I've eaten a dozen solo before lol, my point is most won't, but I believe you can sell packs of 3 and discount 1 dollar, you will make a smaller marging but sell more so it will be worth it, I would buy 3 cookies for sure especially only being 2 people in my house

Bingo, it's very difficult to sell anything for $24 outside of a Christmas mix platter. Most of what I sell is in the $5-8 range. There was a gal who tried to sell Crumbl knockoffs for 3 for $15 and they went nowhere. I also make things you can't get anywhere else. I don't make any chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin stuff. You can get those in any grocery store.

I ran a gourmet cheesecake business for over twenty years. I would make a 10 inch cheesecake for just under ten dollars each getting 12 slices per cheesecake I would sell for $55 whole cheesecake and $7.50 per slice. Very profitable. I offered 72 unique gourmet flavors and sold to many resteraunts.

I recently donated cupcakes and cheese scones to a fundraising fete, so not a good measure by any means, but I told the person to sell them for whatever she thought they would sell for. My cheese scones came in at 23p each without labour or overheads and were sold for £1.50 each! The cupcakes sold out in 30 minutes but were sold at £4.00 per box of six at a cost of £2.26. That definitely made me rethink a few things!

In the late 70s, my MIL and her friend were selling ethnic foods and desserts at a farmers market. They were both from a small community and had reputations as great cooks and having clean houses. Their stuff was always beautifully presented. When i would help them, it would be like a feeding frenzy with so many people were buying. I remember one weekend, they cleared close to $1000. At the time, we were renting a 1 bdm apartment for $125/month. Quite a profit, I would say. BTW: Do pet treats sell well?

It would be a good idea to discuss the regulations about having a food oriented business in your home. At a certain volume you are required to have a separate kitchen from your family kitchen. Check with your state so you know you're operating lawfully.

I've never heard of the volume issue before, but not all states require that. Here in WY I can do whatever I want at home as long as it's not perishable like a cheesecake or cream fillings, etc. I used to live in MN and they allow pretty much nothing because they want to stick their hand in your wallet to collect fees and taxes.

I don't know whether to agree or disagree with you on cookies. It's really all about knowing your customers. I charge $2 for a single cookie but I give them the price break if they buy a 3 pack for $5, a dozen costs $20 and they can mix and match to their hearts content because I bring 8 flavors to every event. Almost everyone who buys just one cookie comes back to buy a 3 pack. I also have 3-5 people who buy a dozen or more at every event I sell my cookies and most of them reserve the cookies in advance. Because of the small price break I give them at the 3 pack it is the overwhelming choice of my patrons and the main reason I sell out almost every time. My competitors that are selling cookies for $4-$5 each, never sell out.

There is a lot of waste. It is time consuming to make butter and you already have to feed and manage your herd, no matter how small, including milking twice a day, 365 days a year. This is complicated these days by stringent dairy food production laws, requirements, and inspections.
