Thank you, Damian! I have been inching toward the edge, but you convinced me to take the plunge. I have got to take this one man kitchen table spice blending operation on the road, and I might as well head for the big stage of online sales. As a Chef transitioning to a parallel industry in order to care for a loved one at home, I have to take a real shot at making a living at this. You sharing this good stuff is inspiring to guys like me. You come across as a decent man with a good heart and a good head on your shoulders. You are also a remarkably effective teacher. I dont know what is more impressive, your good-natured passion to share, or the quality of what you know. A tip of the hat to your wife, as well. Best of luck to you and your family, as well as your spice business and RUclips channel. You all rock!

You have no idea how much does video has been a blessing to me. Thank you so much for taking your time to help us. I’ve really been wanting to start my own spices/seasoning business but had no idea of where to start. You are truly GOD sent. For the video doesn’t cover everything the boy a boy have you given me hope.
I'm so grateful to come across your channel. It is really encouraging for me since I was currently looking for an item that I can sell from home. Believe me, I had no idea and concept or whatsoever of a home processor. Spices it is!!! Do you know by any chance if I can also purchase spices from overseas and repackage them to sell? I was wondering if I can add a couple of unique spices to my collection. Or do you know where I can get more information in regards to this? It will be greatly appreciated.
I’ve thought about doing this for years! One of the things I love about traveling is going to spice markets. Sooooo many options in big baskets and we don’t have those kinds of things here in the states. Ugh! Just need to do it.
Only last night I was thanking God for this idea. I went online and just searched on how to start a spice and seasoning Co and your RUclips video came up. You generous based on what you offered so far. I am going to buy your ebook Thank you so much
Great video Damien. Could you do a video about the process of getting into stores and preparing any necessary materials? How to contact, what a sell sheet should look like, etc. I know this is food marketing online, but many people offering food online do want a physical store presence as well. I think it would be some very useful content.
Hey Lee THANKS for the feedback and yes I will do a video on this and explain the steps. When we first started selling online we also were in retail stores all over our area as well. Thanks for the video idea! Damian
Hi Damian, great information and advice. I was wondering if the video you made about how to sell via Facebook would apply to selling spices? Would it be worth it to buy Facebook ads to sell spices, blends, etc.
YOU MAKE THIS SEEM POSSIBLE, AND HAVE ANSWERED SO MANY QUESTIONS! I AM READY! START! The LLC & Licencing was the part that held me up before. Knowing what I need in Florida, is it a Cottage Business, where do I go for help on Legal Stuff. MY MAIN QUESTION IS, HOW MIGHT I GET WITH RELIABLE SUPPLIERS, PACKERS THAT WILL HAVE THE SPECIALIZED GUARANTEES, LIKE GLUTEN-FREE, KETO, WHEAT FREE, NON-GMO, etc. I grew up on McCormicks & have stayed with them my whole life, because I understood that their basic spices were Organic, tho not labeled. They used to carry Spice mixes that were Gluten-Free, but I can no longer find them. I think they were ahead of their time! I have noticed that McCormicks now has an Organic Spice Line, so that might be my best best. So why reinvent the wheel? Any Suggestions? I guess first, I should start with a good name for my COMPANY! Thank you for the Encouragement! I will look at your page.
@@MarketingFoodOnline For dry spices: meat rubs. Although, we're more focused on hot and herb sauces at the moment. Your video is a great reference on sourcing bulk supplies and ingredients. Solid!
Thanks for sharing! Wonderful video. Is there a co pack you can recommend, that does packaging, labeling and distribution for a reasonable price & E.O oils in seasonings? For example, with salted fish and beef flavor And Also, I wanted to know what sort of licensing I’d need to start? Many thanks!!
What are your thoughts on using private label Spice Inc? I'm leaning towards this company to get started. Also, I live in Hawaii, so shipping from here is inconvenient and expensive. Your video is great, thanks so much. Hope to hear from you.
Thank you for good information. I have a question about packing, when you buy jars or bottles for spice. Do you need to clean them first? Or just pack them at room temperature? Thank you in advance for your reply.
What do you think about using glass jars? I want my spice blend to look high class but I’m worried about shipping, it seems that sooner or later some are going to brake in transit.
Thank you for asking if you're using glass jars yes you're right it does give it a very high class appearance but there are a lot of drawbacks when you are beginning to ship as far as logistics are concerned the potential damage also the heavy weight adds to the shipping costs and the chance for it to break is much higher so I personally would recommend something of a crystal clear PET of a plastic bottle those work out very well it's a certain type of plastic but I would definitely check those out
I’m in the process of starting my spice business and my fiancé said “why don’t you use glass jars babe”? I said because that would cost me a lot more money if products have to be shipped, or if products are damaged.
I'm interested in starting a spice/herb business but doing research I realize certain dry seasoning clumps up do u have experience in using a chemical to prevent such?
Hi Damian, Thank you for the great video! You have been a great resource for any small business starters. I was wondering what type of software or program will you recommend for inventory? Thanks a lot! :)
My two cents - Spice business is not a piece of cake to do and a great level of knowledge required for the same. Example - you should have a knowledge of toxin levels, chemistry and other expertise to check like aflatoxin, myotoxin, salmonella bacterium, iridiation and many more things are there. It is a lucrative business like any other but please do not step into the same without gaining a good knowledge. Best wishes to all 🙌🤗
You could say this about anything. “Don’t start a restaurant cuz you could kill people.” The concern you mentioned is highly overstated. 1) use reliable sources 2) dried spices are quite safe. 3) spices that have gotten wet and have become unsafe are pretty easy to spot and smell.
@@Papadoc1000 your restaurant statement is exaggerated and it shows your lack of awareness about the subject! Of course, all should buy from credible sources so does that guarantee the quality? What do you mean by dried spices are safe? Are you serious!! please take a glance at the fssai manual 2018 latest standard version, EU regulations, and USFDA. There is a distinct food category code for whole and Powder products of the same thing like Coriander whole and Powder. The testing provisions are appropriately formulated for whole spices. I simply wrote that until u have knowledge about the business don't burn your hands and you are indirectly saying go ahead it's safe... please do proper homework boy!!
Hi Damion, thanks for getting me thinking again. Whats your advice / tip on how to mix/ package spices that are not all available on the websites you listed. They have some of the spices, but i will have to add others to the mix they do not sell?
yes be sure to research the farmers market you want to go ask about how many people go , are there any food businesses already there you DONT want to go to every farmers market you see.
Let's say you wanted to initially introduce your product through a co-packer.what steps would you suggest one take if they want to get away from their co-packer an eventually and go independent?
Damien, great video. I have an online presence with my seasoning business on etsy, I feel I need to learn more about marketing and social media. I was also wondering if it is against RUclipss stringent rules to advertise my seasonings on my own cooking show. I am also in the process of refurbishing my seasonings to go into plastic bags instead of bottles to help cut shipping and handling costs, as I can slap a postage stamp on an order and be done with it, without passing along the cost of that to the customer, thus lowering the price of my product while still enjoying a decent profit margin. My supplier has confirmed that he can sell to me in bulk, just need the cost per ounce for a gallon...etc. Please share any links you may have on some of your content in marketing and selling on etsy. Thanks for sharing this, I appreciate the help...best of luck
Hey John ... I have been meaning to touch base with you ...4th quarter was VERY busy for us and we are able to talk I will email you with a number to follow up ...and no it is not against RUclips to advertise your products via a video ... I have multiple youtube channels for all my businesses... and use it as a form of advertising
You're operating out of Tennessee? I'm on Tennessee also. Did you have to send your spice blends off for testing? The commercial kitchen I'm working out of is talking like I might have to. I don't get it. The spices that I use come from licensed sources like spice barn so they have already been tested.
you would need organic certification this is a bit of a challenge but the process, the packaging the facility all would have to be certified to be an actual " Organic" certified product. the FDA has a page dedictaed to this here to help www.ams.usda.gov/services/organic-certification/becoming-certified thanks Errol good to hear from you !
One of the best ways is to have a co packer make this with your label.....if you start from home you would need to check the list of allowed food products from your states cottage food law
Thank you so much for all the great information. I am in the begginer process. I have been stuck trying to find a package because because I don't know what it is called. Would you know what the sazon envelope packs are called and where could I buy some for my spice?
Thank you. How did you come up with the different combinations? I'm so interested in doing this but I have no clue how to put combinations together. Also, how do you keep the spices from clumping together? Is there a reason why companies add ingredients like potassium and phosphorus to their product?
When you actually come up with different combinations it's truly up to you to be honest you can actually find recipes on pinterest if you're looking to brainstorm ideas and then make them your own by just manipulating them slightly or changing a certain spice we also have a video about ingredients to keep spices from kicking up it is in our library if you Google that and aren't you checked that out on the search Box marking food online and then spices the video she popped up for you to help you
Hi Damian! Great content ...as always!! This one in particular is one I am VERY much interested in. LOL I have two questions. First question; As a cottage food operator, in California, can I buy the spices in bulk, place the spice in a recommended food grade bag/container, sealed and place MY logo on it for selling purposes to the general public, NOT ON LINE right now. I don't have a commercial facility yet to do that in. You mentioned that in your video. I just wanted to make sure that would be ok. Next question; I like the containers and I would also like clear packaging as well. Would you recommend clear packaging for the spices as well? If so, who would you recommend? I already use Uline and like their bags. Thanks Damian! Huge fan and supporter of your channel. Annmarie
Hi thank you so much it’s very informative. Question, what is the best way to store the ground spices so that it stays fresh longer? I’m living in a tropical country where it’s 30*c throughout the year and ground spices didn’t last very long on shelve. Thanks
I watched Alex(French cooking guy) he was making Casio E Pepe, bought his pepper at Le Comptoir Des Poivres it’s was Columbian pepper. Premium pepper. What makes it premium?
Hello Debbie thanks for asking when it comes to "labeling " or "naming something premium it is up to perception. There are numerous organizations that "Claim" to be certification process. These have criteria that must be met or standards they have in place to call an item Premium, or Special or grade A but at the end of the day many people call what they want because they can....
i have couple of questions and hope someone can help/guide me on here. Q- I am about to start a spice/herbs business (haven't registered yet). When I approach a grocery chain how should i present my products to them? Should i offer them a bottle pack product or in bulk and how should i price it? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
@@MarketingFoodOnline Hi thank you for responding, like the salt and pepper packets. also can you tell me a little more about the consultant program, is it hands on ?
