    Is there a reason why you don't include packaging etc. in your costs? Do you include these while calculating a selling price?

    I love inventora!! I am new too it and still in my testing phase with my candles. So I am not selling at all but just adding all my supplies into inventora has been so nice to keep track. I love it. Game changer. I am so glad you have done videos on it. Thank you!

    Thanks for the insight! That was super interesting. Could you also show how much profit is left before tax if you sell candles on Faire and the buyer comes via Faire? The Faire fees are quite high. I only sell directly to small stores and sell my candles at half price. But if all the Faire fees were removed, I wouldn't earn much.

    Great video, and I love being able to try it out first too. I understand all about creating a material list for a product and how to come up with your price, but how do you go about dealing with shipping materials? Is that part of your COGS or do you figure it in a different way. Just started selling and got an order from a friend in the south and realized I don’t have much of an understanding of that lol. Thanks!

    I buy my vessels from overseas with gold lids at .49 cents each - 12 oz frosted white with gold lids. And my embossed gold stamp labels made are .06 cents each

      @@stevechappellie904 don’t include any of your shipping materials into your COGS price. Only include what it costs to make your candle (basically anything that would sit on a retail shelf) This should help you see a more accurate COGS number!

    You may want to consider buying your vessels directly from a manufacturer overseas . YOURE buying them from a company that buys them overseas . My vessels are high end and my labels are high end. The vessel and label with shipping overseas is less than 1.50 each including gold lids
