I sell at a Farmers Market. I actually make more money selling in smaller quantities. People are willing to pay $2.00 for an individual cookie or muffin. I don't think I would get $24.00 for a box of a dozen cookies.
I agree with you that mostly people unless they have atleast 5 people in their family would not go for a dozen, as say this but I've eaten a dozen solo before lol, my point is most won't, but I believe you can sell packs of 3 and discount 1 dollar, you will make a smaller marging but sell more so it will be worth it, I would buy 3 cookies for sure especially only being 2 people in my house
I make these little jam-filled 2-to-3-bite mini tarts with cream cheese crust and people go nuts over them. Never expected that to happen. I had customers fill out a survey this year, and the only thing I learned is that everybody likes different things.
It would be a good idea to discuss the regulations about having a food oriented business in your home. At a certain volume you are required to have a separate kitchen from your family kitchen. Check with your state so you know you're operating lawfully.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤💕 you have really helped me alot, I love baking from kitchen but I was wondering whether it can be a good idea. I'm currently working on my idea business plan....a million thanks for your generous guide 🙏😊
Cottage foods can not include anything that is time/ temp sensitive. Eclairs for example having a cream cheese based filling would not be a cottage food. My state does not allow salsa under cottage foods either which is in your next video. Tomatoes apparently are a high risk food.
I recently donated cupcakes and cheese scones to a fundraising fete, so not a good measure by any means, but I told the person to sell them for whatever she thought they would sell for. My cheese scones came in at 23p each without labour or overheads and were sold for £1.50 each! The cupcakes sold out in 30 minutes but were sold at £4.00 per box of six at a cost of £2.26. That definitely made me rethink a few things!
thanks for asking I run my ecommerce bakery for 14 years 10 of those on amazon we get the order say on a Monday and by Tuesday or wed. we print the label for the shipping and bake the day we print the label and use a 2-3 day shipping but heat seal them to our cookie containers for freshness. this has worked for 14 years .
@@MarketingFoodOnline I have watched most of your videos. Great advice. I ran a gluten free bakery for many years. In Canada it is very hard, just not enough people. Thanks again.
@@patriciaosuch I also ran an Italian bakery near Atlanta Georgia and it was the foot traffic.There wasn't enough customers, but when I transition online.We have stores on Etsy at Amazon sold 1.2 million dollars in sales.You'd be very surprised what you can do when you're online and not relying on a brick and mortar location and traffic specifically coming to that location online.You're in front of millions.
our batches are relatively small for quality control BUT the larger the batch the lower the cost all ingredients : packaging, label decreases a lot when larger
I sell fried hand fruit pies ( empanada style) at work. It’s not a high profit( it brings in pizza money) - I’m afraid ( yep- that dreaded word) to go online as I don’t know how to keep them fresh without spending a lot of money on packaging. I retire in a year and a half… I want to try selling at festivals. I’m open to feed back and opinions.
Yeah but you have to sell sooo many of them. Lots of work..especially for bread... I do see a lady selling artisan bread for $20 each.. now that is money!
yes these can be profitable BUT the challenge is keeping them fresh once made fresh they have a short life span, and if your at markets selling them and they don't sell you have a small window before they go bad.
We want to know what are you wanting to sell from home that are on our list?

Overall it's about finding that sweet spot so you can max your sale potential but not destroy your demand from consumers
Yea plus I only need one. The farmers market is my excuse to eat the cookie right then and there lol. My cardio is walking around duhhh
Macaroons are coconut drop cookies and macarons are French sandwich cookies, this confused me in the beginning too.
Thank you. I'm also just seeing this now.

Those sound delicious.
Do you have an Instagram page?

Don’t you calculate your time?
1. Cookies
I am aiming to sell cookies, cupcakes, and mini loaves of banana bread.
Thanks for sharing. Can I just one and grow it before adding another or I can pick More than one.
Its always good to start small and grow from there. I always recommend this to my consulting clients have a big idea but small steps
You can't sell cupcakes with dairy toppings
Excellent advice !
You have anew follower 🎉
What about Cinnamon Rolls?
It’s my biggest bang for the buck item. For sure.
Thank you
How much is a good start?
How many oz?

I’ve made croissants before. Made correctly, they take 2 days to make.

Selling cheesecake statewide from a commercial kitchen. Anywhere there is a one day UPS ground delivery or Uber delivery.
Congratulations. Sounds interesting. Can you share the process please. Tia.
Thank You So Much Sir
There was a movie in 1945 titled Mildred Pierce starring Joan Crawford and in this film she ran a baking business from her home.
Kate Winslet played Mildred Pierce not too long ago it was a short mini series... on Prime/Amazon. It was pretty good..
Great video. I’m curious how you sell baked cookies online and keep them fresh when sent out?

how did you work out the production cost? are they based on big batches and how big?
our batches are relatively small for quality control BUT the larger the batch the lower the cost all ingredients : packaging, label decreases a lot when larger

If you are good in cooking, I believe that you will have other good recipes too. My suggestion is to try selling other long shelf life food.
@@Eagle-gl7bq thank you.

Why is cakes named as number 2? Its almost at the end of the video...
what about a permit or home inspection?
this depends on your states cottage food laws checkout my other channel "COTTAGE FOODS LAWS" bunch of info
Thoughts and percentages on donuts and sticky buns? Thanks.
yes these can be profitable BUT the challenge is keeping them fresh once made fresh they have a short life span, and if your at markets selling them and they don't sell you have a small window before they go bad.
Yeah 😅
I'd love to sell cookies🎉😊but we have Publix and Walmart so I can't compete with them! That's why I don't do it..people can just go there!
But you would use healthier ingredients.
No supermarket cookie can compare to homemade. People that know this are willing to pay a premium for superior taste and quality.
What about gourmet cookies?
Is the cookie trend dead?
Here is our other channel ua-cam.com/video/KjixlqH082g/v-deo.htmlsi=Yo7BTX3re2P37tx7
If I use a cake mix in them do I need to tell people that?
NO you don't but the ingredients need to be on the label for allergy purposes
@@MarketingFoodOnline Okay, thank you!
