Big news from August Nine Home! I’m getting ready to dive into the world of wholesale! This means my handmade goodies like car coasters, keychains, chapstick holders, and more will soon be available for retail shops and boutiques to carry. EEK!
Whether you’re a fellow maker, a shop owner, or just curious about what this means, here’s a peek into what wholesale is, why I’m doing it, and what comes next.
💡 What Is Wholesale?
Wholesale means selling my products in bulk to other businesses, like boutiques, gift shops, or online retailers. This is at a discounted rate so they can resell them to their own customers.
So instead of just selling one item at a time, I’ll be offering bundled orders with bulk pricing, packaging geared toward retail shelves, and a streamlined ordering process.
🌼 Why I’m Stepping Into Wholesale
Here’s the heart of it. I want more people to be able to experience and enjoy August Nine Home in real life. Seeing my products in stores would be a literal dream come true.
Plus, wholesale helps my business grow while building real community with small shop owners. It’s a win-win!
🧃 What Products Will Be Available?
I'm starting with a few customer favorites:
-
Car Coasters
-
Chapstick Holders
-
Key Fob Wristlets
-
Luggage/Bag Tags
-
Stickers + air fresheners too!
- Mouse Pads
More added daily!
Each will come with retail-friendly packaging and clear, customizable options for buyers.
💻 Where Will I Be Selling Wholesale?
I’ll be launching on Faire, a wholesale platform that helps small shops connect with makers like me. If you're a store owner and want to be notified, shoot me a message or sign up for my email list!
💬 What This Means for You:
Even if you're not a store owner, this is such a fun step for August Nine Home! You’ve been here cheering me on, and I wanted to share what’s next behind the scenes.
If you know a local boutique, teacher store, or gift shop that might love to carry my items, feel free to send them my way. I’d be honored to connect!
I’ll be sharing more soon, pricing info, and behind-the-scenes as I prep the line sheets, packaging, and photos.
Thank you for being part of this journey, seriously, it means the world. 💕
xoxo,
Jennifer
