~✸ Hello! Open me for goodies!🌷 ~✸
Excited to bring you guys along with me while I crochet my largest wholesale order to date! I'm very honest and transparent in this vlog in terms of pricing and why I don't think I'll do wholesale in the future. Keep in mind everyone's crochet journey is different -- this is just my personal opinions. Hope you guys enjoy watching and seeing all the cute plushies! ✨
If you'd like to send me mail: [TBD, setting up new PO Box ❤️]

Girl you deserve more than $4 a bee 🐝 especially for the effort you put into every one

@nojams732

tbh it kind of angers me that this shop asked you to make all these at such low prices! it feels like they are taking advantage of your kindness

Genna is spoiling us with a 40 min video

Noooo don't reduce the cost of plushies when you already have a lot of orders! 💔 I never thought of the cons of wholesale so thanks for sharing!!

Stopping five minutes in to tell you I feel so bad for you! You're doing the same amount of work for less money 😔 I agree with you, handmade items aren't very wholesale friendly. I love your bee pattern, definitely buying this one❤

I don’t crochet but I do wholesale. I would suggest you raise your pricing even for wholesale if you plan on doing wholesale because trust they are probably charging way more double or triple what you charged them. I make candles and my smallest candles are $5 a candle for 4 oz candles which is less time than your bees. Please charge more.

Wholesale for crafting is different than for resale stores!!! I've done Wholesale, but the highest crafters should go is 30%. Resaler's buy from manufacturers that have 100's of employees and machines that produce the product. That's why they can offer 50% it costs them less to make. We don't have machines or assembly lines that produce our products. You also have to set a quantity that they must purchase to get the discount. I offered 6 pieces of the same item for 20% off and they must spend at least $100.00. If they buy them by the dozen I offered 30% off, but they had to spend at least $250.00. Just remember we are hand making our products without machines and assembly lines. Our products are HAND MADE. Don't giveaway your profits. Love all the products you made they are so adorable.

Hi Genna! I am from Ohio. You should never under sell yourself. I understand how much time & work go into amigurmi.

Girl please, you have no idea what old is, I’m 64 and I’m not old yet.

@kiaracharles28

I’m recently getting into crochet, but I paint and draw and a rule of thumb for pricing I was given was to base your price off of an hourly wage. For example, if I set my hourly wages to $15/hr and I can crochet one mini bee in an hour, the price of the bee would be a minimum of $15, then you can add in cost of materials. I used to set a timer for 2 hours for pet portraits and charged $50, with my hourly rate being $20 and $10 for the paint, brushes and mediums and it was a, easy way to figure out prices since I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out.

Blog suggestion “ship orders with me” I’d love to see how you package your stuffies!

@SaltedKenzie Год назад

I love how honest you are about this experience.

@MrsStewartCC Год назад

I have never been successful at selling my crochet. The number of hours involved are too many for me. I am TRYING to go the youtube route and make how to videos. Good that you are recognizing what works for you! ❤

@trishasmith2303 Год назад

Girl you are TRAVELING this year!! go girl! YES FOR THE TRAVEL VLOG! Also if you decide to do the pattern for the bees, I would totally buy it!! You plowed through this order! Thank you for passing on the pop it tip. Will you ever or do you have a video on how you take your pictures of your items?

I did the same thing with my iPad! I had the 11 pro and I liked it, but I felt it was too big. Sold it to my mom and bought the Mini. LOVE it. It’s so portable and usable.

@Jkcldmsncidklekwmjf Год назад

Can we just appreciate how Gemma replies to EVERY comment! I feel like even small RU-vidrs who get 1-2 comments, they still don’t reply, and the fact that she gets hundreds of comments and replies, let’s just appreciate that <3333

Maybe you can put your socials or Etsy shop on labels and attach them to the plushies, and it can be like a marketing investment. You could get some new subs and potential repeat customers out of it. The shop owner shouldn't have a problem with labels if she's not trying to pass it off as if she made them, and in the end she's still profiting from your generous discount. ❤
