thank you for doing this series . This has been very informative. I didn’t feel I was at a point to where I could do wholesale, but after talking to another mentor and listening to your whole series, that is definitely something I want to look into sooner rather than later. I do have a question though when you’re wholesaling because like you said you sell your price products at a certain price point m my concern would be if the retailer would sell it lower than what I sell online. Do you have it somewhere in your contract saying that it can’t go below a certain price point.

[@caitlinblue]

Hi! I’m so glad you are liking this series and finding it helpful. To answer your question, I really don’t have any retailers selling lower, they actually all try to sell higher. If you want to write that in your terms you certainly could, but I don’t and I’ve never had any issues with being under sold on my retails. Hope that helps!

I love your necklace! Thank you.

[@caitlinblue]

Oh thank you!! I got it from Etsy, makes me think of Bridgerton!

[@marthagichia]

@@caitlinblueThat was a great buy!

[@Sweetescapessoapery]

Great video ❤ I hope to get more wholesale accounts this year! I landed my first longer term one and even adding one or two more would be life changing ❤

[@caitlinblue]

That’s amazing!! Quality over quantity is definitely how I’ve grown. Good luck in adding more accounts this year! 🥰

What are some good starter label printers that could be used?

[@caitlinblue]

Do you mean companies? I get my labels printed from Blue Label digital, I’ve also printed labels at home using online labels.com and that was super easy too!

[@mpps1990]

thank you! With your wholesale clients, do you message them if they haven't put in an order in a few months to see if they are interested? and how many orders a year do you require of them to stay current as a wholesale client?

[@caitlinblue]

Yes absolutely! I try to “check in” at least once every 6-8 weeks. Don’t want to be too pushy, but they’re so busy that sometimes they just need a reminder!

[@ladymitch32sunshine88]

Hi, I'd like to know how to get a top shop on faire? Or do I have to join faire insider? Thanks

[@caitlinblue]

Are you on Faire already? If so, you can go to the Top Shop page and it explains what you have to achieve to get the badge. They have 5 different criteria you have to hit within each quarter.

[@ProfitTriviayoutubechannel]

did you start off selling direct to consumer first ????

[@caitlinblue]

HI! Yes! I didn't start doing wholesale until about year 2 of running my business.

[@dinkyloves40]

Why did you change your name to Solette

[@caitlinblue]

I actually explained this all in my recent interview with Revega Cosmetics on KZbin. It's not as juicy as people think but I definitely explain it all in that video. Look up her channel and you'll find it!
