Home Business
Carol Duvall Show : Episode CDS-243 -- More Projects » Guest, Barbara Brabec joins Carol for a discussion on how to increase your profits from your home business by buying wholesale and using a pricing formula (Cost of materials x 3 + hourly labor = Wholesale Price x 2 = Retail or Craft Fair Price). Barbara mentions that anyone interested in starting a home business should contact his/her city or county clerk and inquire about a license, and she recommends to always have brochures, business cards and stationery to hand out or send to prospective buyers or distributors. Barbara emphasizes how important it is to present oneself as a professional, and she talks about several books that offer abundant information about wholesale suppliers.
She emphasizes that the retail or craft fair price is also influenced by the market, i.e., you might not charge the same price in New York as you would in Knoxville, Tenn. She displays some clever hang tags which, she says, may enable you to charge more since they leave an impression of credibility on a well-crafted item.
