What you'll get

A guide from Faire, a wholesale marketplace for independent shops, to the wholesale and retail prices every product needs, with keystone pricing (wholesale at half the retail price) as the method shops expect, and to selling by the case and setting first-order minimums, worked through a candle example. No pricing lesson for body care or household goods turned up, so this comes from the Manufacturing track; it fits makers of soap, candles and other goods sold through gift shops.

Do this week

Set a case size and a first-order minimum for one product, then work out what a shop's first order would cost the shop and what it would leave you after your costs.
