Guest guest Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Howdy y'all, Its finally up!! :-P I was beginning to think I might be under snakes afore it was done but its ready to go and I think those of you who are into wholesale will like it a lot .. many new oils and the prices are razor thin profit margin now. I'm planning to double volume of sales .. we will see. ;-p My goal is to have a new Retail site up by this time next weekend .. we will see on that one too. Chris has done a fantastic job with the new Wholesale site and I've been dragging my butt .. she was waiting on me most of the time. The new Retail site will be a bit more difficult to deal with as she has to redo a lot of the present configuration plus enter the data for the many new oils I will have onto the Shopping Cart .. y'all who buy wholesale know that the Wholesale site is not automated yet .. but it will be somewhere down the road. For the new folks .. who is eligible to purchase wholesale? Resellers of goods or services!! You don't gotta have a business license or tax ID or whatever .. that's betwixt you and your state .. just gotta be a reseller .. not an end-user. As you know, the wholesale site has larger minimum volumes .. usually 4 oz except for some of the more pricy oils. If I were to allow end-users to shop there then my wholesale buyers would rightfully tar and feather me. ;-p IF you think you are eligible .. then write me and tell me that you are a reseller. IF you make a product to sell you are a reseller. I'll take your word on it and I don't need to record anything UNLESS you operate out of Maryland .. as we do .. if you operate out of Maryland I need to record some form of business permit or I'll have to charge the 5% Maryland Sales Tax on purchases. Rachel has been contacting those who were on Back Order for Rose Hydrosol .. if you have not been contacted, please lemme know. I was only able to get 1,200 kilos this year .. compared to 3,000 kilos last year .. and it cost me a HECKUVA lot more. As for Rose Otto .. I am temporarily OUT OF STOCK .. I'll have some soon but folks .. the price almost DOUBLED this year and I'm not sure I will be able to offer it in wholesale .. the entire 2003 crop produced by the Rose Grower's Association has been sold out already .. most of it was sold even before it was produced. Seems European perfumeries tried to outbid each other on it this year as some paid $500 more per kilogram than did others. :-( Y'all keep smiling.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Looks great, Butch!! I am thinking of purchasing the Chamomile, German (Blue) (Matricaria chamomilla) and would appreciate any feedback from lotion makers. Your rosehip seed oil is a GOOD price and know where to go when I run out of the order I just placed elsewhere. I am so glad I had purchased rose otto. Now I am afraid to use it and run out!!! -Helen - Appalachian Valley Natural Products Saturday, August 16, 2003 9:47 PM AD: New Wholesale Site ** Rose Hydrosol is In Y'all keep smiling.
