started making homemade facial scrub as an alternative to buying Christmas gifts this year and it turns out that the few samples I gave to friends were a hit. They are asking to purchase the jars so they can give away as gifts and stocking stuffers. What should I charge? I have a 6 month old daughter that eats Gerber Baby Food stage 2. I saved the jars, cleaned them up, removed the label, spray painted the lids red, green or gold, and tied a festive bow around them. I don t know what to charge. It doesn t cost me much to make a large batch... maybe 20-30 bucks. Thanks for your opinion.
What you need to look at is how much is the competition pricing their 3.5 oz of similar product for. Then go from there, what it costs you is really irrelevant to what your price should be so look at the marketplace for your price this will serve you well.
somewhere between $5 and $8 per jar since your batches cost $20-$30.if you can make 10 jars from a batch, your profit would be between $30 and $60 if the batch costs $20.
There are two factors to consider: your cost per jar and what facial scrub sells for in your area.
