Last week I told you about two of my big orders I've had lately (coasters and girl scout albums). I also recently had my first true wholesale order!!! I sold 20 Sorority Albums to a gift shop in Indiana.
I sent a sample album (shown above) and we made a few changes making the patterned paper and ribbons lighter and leaving off the stickers in the final albums. The gift shop owner decided since each girl has different taste, that leaving the stickers out would work better. Below is one of the final albums.
I would love to do more wholesale orders and this order made me realize that I need to get all my prices down on paper and have everything ready for the next big order :)
Congrats on your first wholesale order! Good luck in getting to your next one!

I think they are both beautiful! But that was a good suggestion about the stickers. Something for me to keep in mind when making art journals! Have a great vacation day off work! {:-D
ReplyDeleteThose turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThose are great! Congrats on your first wholesale order! Wishing you MANY more!!
ReplyDeleteHooray! They look great!
ReplyDeleteMy largest order of the same item was 7 necklaces for some bridesmaids, and that was enough. Ha ha.
So great ~ I am sure that there are many more to come!

Congrats! They look great. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - love the book!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the order! Yay!
ReplyDeleteI found that I needed to have all my information about custom orders ready in advance, too. Now I can quickly respond to any inquiries - eliminates stress and insures a quick response to the potential customer!
I hope this is the beginning of many, many wholesale orders for you! It's a great idea to let the girls customize their own too!
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of Sharla's comments. Congrats on this big order! The album looks great.
ReplyDeleteGetting a price guide together is a great idea. Having a PDF or something with all of your regular and wholesale prices broken down would be awesome.
Congratulations on your first wholesale order! The sorority album looks great, and I hope the shop re-orders eventually.
