Hello! I just opened Faire store. I am working on my second wholesale order! I have my candles in 2 stores so far. Marketing is a lot of hard work and I've had several rejections. But I am keeping my head up! Thank you for a great video & info.
When I used to work real estate, I had a friend and very experienced and successful real estate agent once tell me that out of 100% pitches you may propose, only about 5-10% will be a yes. So to get 10 "YES" you need to at least pitch 100 times. It takes a lot of work. Great video Caitlin!
Thank you Caitlin. I am in the Stationery and greeting card business and have my product in a couple of retail stores but haven’t had confidence to approach more shops.This was very informative and helpful!
I swear you read my mind. I was actually approved last week about wholesaling in a soap and lotion store! I make fused glass soap dishes. I've been considering working on wholesaling this year, I have an application into faire, but I am still on the wait list. I was thinking about doing an email to an owner, with the offer of a pitch package, although I didn't understand that's what it was called. So I'm really glad that you mentioned that you make that offer and it's potential, because I was going to ask you. Thank you for this information, it's helped a lot
I just subscribed to your channel, bc you laid out all the info in such clear and easy way! I just opened my Faire account last week, and got only one order, that I really need to focus on growing my clients with the local retailers first. This is extremely helpful! I watched your both episodes on Faire, btw! Do you have tips on how to increase your shop’s visibility on Faire?
Thank you!! So glad you found me and liked the videos! I have another Faire video planned so I’ll add in your question as I’m sure many people are thinking that, thanks!!
Hi Caitlin, love your content, but also would like the site for your lovely tops. Where do you buy them? Absolutely love them, and hangers full with them as a back drop in one of your videos
This is great video! I just got my first wholesale account 🎉 When pitching the $$ side on a later email are the sales based upon the calculation from how much they order from you and knowing your MSRP? This is a much later thing for me but curious how to calculate.
@@caitlinblue You mentioned how sometimes you will mention how you and a particular retail are project to make for example $5000 that year together. Just curious how that number is calculated. :)
my library has many resources, its worth finding out what your local library has to offer in terms of small business resources, guides, demographic info.

Thank you! They’re mostly from an Australian brand called SPELL!
Hi Caitlin! May I ask what is a direct wholesale website?
This is great video! I just got my first wholesale account 🎉 When pitching the $$ side on a later email are the sales based upon the calculation from how much they order from you and knowing your MSRP? This is a much later thing for me but curious how to calculate.
That’s amazing congrats!! I’m not sure I’m understanding your question about the $, sorry!
@@caitlinblue You mentioned how sometimes you will mention how you and a particular retail are project to make for example $5000 that year together. Just curious how that number is calculated. :)
Thank you for this. Out of 10 or 15 stores, how many sign wholesale with you? Trying to gauge is it 1 out of 10 or 20 or 30? Thanks
It’s not really that much of a formula…but I pitched 30 retailers the last 2 weeks and got 2 new accounts! Some weeks you may get more or less.

That’s a fabulous suggestion! Thank you!
