and my cost per unit was a few dollars,
then I’d make a bunch of dollars per unit.
Seems reasonable. But if you have a popular product, you need lots of help. And you
have to pay your help.
And if a store wants to buy your product,
then you have to sell to them for about
half the retail price. There are many larger
stores that prefer to buy from distributors,
and the distributors need to make money.
I chose to accept credit cards online,
which meant I needed a credit card processing company, who, along with PayPal
and Google Checkout, all took a cut.
Oh, and then there’s the cost of hiring a
company that answers phones for wholesale customers’ orders and sends these
larger orders to my fulfillment center.
With all my hard work, I was barely
breaking even. I had to raise the retail price
to $19.99.
Then I learned a lesson in retailing: the
retail price should be set at five to six times
your manufacturing cost!
Website — You need a website, of course.
Make it look good! You’ll need an online
shopping cart to sell your product. These
can be purchased, or you can program
your own, as I did. Make it easy to navigate
to the Buy page, and simple to go through
the buying process.
Order fulfillment — When customers
place orders, you need to get your product
to them. This is not trivial! You could fill a
few orders a week yourself. But imagine
receiving more than 20,000 orders in the
first several weeks, as happened to me.
I had a wonderful problem on my hands.
Luckily for me, my friends hired their
friends to stuff mailers with TV-B-Gones,
label them, print and apply postage, fill out
customs forms — it was an international
business from the start — and get everything to the post office, working like crazy
day and night. This was stressful!
Fortunately, fulfillment houses exist to
perform this task. As with your CM, you
