Opening a Wholesale Account with Moe’s Soapbox
Here at Moe’s Soapbox, our business is to provide information and help for troubled skin, as well as quality, handmade, natural soaps, lotions and bath sundries.
We have been established for close to 5 years now, and have successfully established a cliental of happy, satisfied, repeat customers. Our products have serviced customers in all 50 states, as well as some places overseas. Our soaps are even used by America’s finest, stationed in Iraq! Military servicemen often make requests to keep them in our Tea Tree soap! In that environment, our Tea Tree is perfect for them head-to-toe! By carrying our products in your store, we are sure you will find customers come back over and over to purchase our great line of natural soaps and sundries.
Our business is simple, therefore we try to make opening a wholesale account as simple as possible. It is our main objective, to give you the best possible price cut, in order for you to profit from selling our products, in your establishment.
●The first thing we do is access your business. We consider what kind of customers you service, and then try to match the products based on our experience.
●From that, we can best access the most popular selling items for your consideration. Keep in mind, we can customize products, private label and work with in any theme to best compliment your establishment. Feel free to ask for details. Our consultation fee is usually $25.00.
●Our experience in trade shows, festivals and craft shows around the area have taught us one thing about displays. The larger displays with more selection draw more attention and sell more. The smaller displays are quickly passed by, and do not bring in the revenue hoped for. We will always strive to make your display attractive, neat and colorful, with eye-catching variety! This is why we encourage you to carry a variety of products in different fragrances. It’s hard to convince someone of how great handmade soap is for you, if all you carry is lavender, and they hate lavender. The same recipe however, in mango is now suddenly VERY appealing to them! Variety is the spice of life in this case!
●Next we work with you to get the best products for your store. Minimum order is $350. We have found that the best results are found in a $350-$500 initial order. This way, you can begin a minimal set up, with a display that looks nice. *Reordering is simple, and does not require a minimum quantity*.
●Idea of prices for basic products. Prices reflect at least 30-40% off retail costs! (Customized products not included in list)
*Tea Tree Soap: Retail $5.50 Wholesale: $3.80
*Tea Tree w/Emu oil Lotion $15.00 $10.50
*Tea Tree Astringent/Body Spray $7.50 $ 5.25
(Highly recommended on all wholesale accounts, as these are our LARGEST repeat customers)
●Package Deals at Moe’s Soapbox run as such:
*$25.00 1 TT Soap, 1 Astringent, 1 lg. Tea Tree Emu Oil Lotion.
*$35.00 THREE TT soaps, one astringent, one lotion. (big seller!)
This will give you a profit of $5.45 on smaller package deal and $7.70 on the larger! More importantly, you will be providing your customers with a valuable service, of quality skin care. They will thank you, believe us!
All of our lotions are made with Emu oil. (see enclosed brochure for information on the many benefits of Emu Oil!) Just for starters, Emu oil is valued for its ability to penetrate the skin at a cellular level. People with eczema find this to be a great relief from the dry, red inflamed skin conditions they suffer with. Replacing detergent based commercial soaps, with pure, natural handmade soaps, has proven to provide simple relief, to this complex problem. You’ll be surprised how many of your customers suffer, sometimes needlessly with the irritating condition!
Secondly, Emu oil is anti-inflammatory. Some call our lotion their “Motrin-Lotion” meaning they experience relief from the pain or arthritis, bursitis, and many other aches and pains experience in joints and muscles.
Emu oil is great for the whole family from youngest to oldest! I wouldn’t trust any other product to our baby’s delicate skin. (see our line of baby skin care products as well!)
RETAIL PRICES ON LOTIONS: $15.00 large 8.0 ounce $8.50 4.0 ounce
WHOLESALE PRICES ON LOTIONS: $10.50 8.0 ounce $6.00 4.0 ounce
Cold Processed Soaps are made from scratch, the old fashion way (the way Grandma used to) Only now, we understand how to use exotic oils, and can even hot process soaps, AND super- fat them, to ensure the highest quality, and the mildest soap.
Ingredients include the finest oils such as coconut, palm, soybean lipids, refined emu oil, avocado oil, and pure cocoa butter, infused calendula, hemp seed oil virgin olive oil, and castor oil. Handmade soaps retain all their own glycerin, and have no need of detergent based additives like commercial soaps do. Most customers get hooked the very first bath, and will never want their dull, itchy, dry skin back!
Retail $4.00 for a 3.5-5.0 bar. Wholesale: $3.20
Glycerin soaps are really a vegetable based, all-natural clear soap. Glycerin is really somewhat of a deceiving title, as ALL natural soaps contain glycerin. These are the wonderful, colorful, see-through bars you see in popular stores in the mall. Only ours are guaranteed not to have harsh chemicals or be full of alcohol like the ones in the mall. We suggest you also carry a nice selection of these, as they are attractive to the eye, and come in many popular scents. This gives your customers a nice display to view, and an alternative to popular ‘bath and body’ stores.
Retail $4.00 for 3.5-5.0 ounce bars Wholesale 3.20
WHAT MOE’S SOAPBOX PROVIDES UPON SET UP WITH WHOLESALE ACCOUNT:
If you are a retail store, we will work with you to provide you with a suitable display. (Free standing or tabletop)
This will be stocked with:
●Your initial products purchased
●2 FREE Lotion Testers (one Tea Tree and one milder scent, usually Oatmeal and Honey…a popular fragrance) NOT APPLICABLE FOR ECOMMERCE CLIENTS
●25 FREE samples (see attached sample) These serve to get them into your customers hands, and quickly builds customers!
●Business cards
●FREE Simple brochures outlining the qualities in our products. Though a general knowledge of our products will serve you well, we do not expect you to stand around talking about Emu oil all day. Therefore, we will make sure there are signs (if they can be accommodated) brochures and pamphlets that will promote these products themselves. Eventually, we will provide some catalogs.
As your stock quickly sells, you will be able to re-order products at that same wholesale price REGARDLESS OF THE QUANTITY. NO MINIMUM REQUIRED after initial order! Please allow us 3 weeks notice prior to restocking. We may not need that long, but you can’t rush great soap! For every order over $300 we will restock samples. Otherwise they are .50 per sample
Please feel free visit our website for more information, as well as pictures and a full product selection. Contact us with any questions you might have. We look forward to serving you, and the customers you serve as well.
Press On!
