60 bottles and another 10 Monday. My company name is Proud Cloud Vapes, LLC. They have been testing out my juice for 2 weeks in the store and got really good responses from the customers. It's been a mad dash to ramp up production and form a company in the last two weeks and this is the pay off. Just seeing my juice displayed for sale makes it all worth it. Oh and the money helps.
Congratulations!
As a fellow small business owner, I've found that having LOUD AND PROUD labels (header tags in my case) help more than just a little. I'm willing to bet you've got plenty of competition on that shelf, and from the way it looks you're selling based solely on flavor.
You can have the best flavor in the shop, but even your most loyal customers will see the shiny new label or different looking bottle and be sold before they even try it and yours will get pushed to the back. Hell I've bought a brand of juice simply because it had the "Maker's Mark" wax dip thing going on.
Just a little constructive criticism that won't take much from your bottom line. I sincerely wish you and your juice to succeed, and would love to try it some day!
Thank you for your input. I had two weeks to form a company and ramp up production so the label and bottle got thrown together fast and cheap. I will be spending more time on the label and bottles soon. I have some interesting ideas in that area. It's amazing to me how much a products aesthetic changes your perspective of it.
They look even better on the shelf than they did on the mixing table! Congrats!
Wait a minute, I didn't post a pic of my mixing table. Do I know you?
And here I am, happy that my juice is good enough that like 5 of my friends buy from me.
Nice work brother!
That's exactly where I started out and I'm far from being a success story but keep it up and never accept a pretty good mix as good enough to sell. Don't get hung up on making those overly complex exclusive juices. Spend your time finding the best banana or strawberry or the best possible VG and PG or cleanest tasting nic. Don't take the communities word for it. Test them all yourself.
Simple doesn't mean easy. Sometimes you will have to mix several flavor vendors bananas together at different percentages to get the "perfect" flavor profile for the mix you are making. Sometimes one or two flavors in a mix are better than five. Sometimes you have to subtract to add.
Mind sharing where you purchased your bottles from?
Congrats! I've been vaping for a long time now and I am getting into the DIY section of it to do this as well. You are a great inspiration!
EDIT: This may be too personal to ask and I apologize if it is but what is your profit margin? I'm assuming you sell in bulk quantity obviously but what are you making per order of 10 or 50?
