So here it goes, my fast lane plan. First of all I'm 17 and this is my first business I have started. Tell me everything and anything that crosses your mind when reading this! I have started selling laundry detergent under my own brand (PRIMO Detergents). I have gotten in contact with a supplier that has clones of Tide, Gain, as well as several fabric softeners. I ordered a pallet with the combination of the three and begun selling at the local flea market. I am purchasing and reselling them in 5 gallon buckets. I have created my own labels to go on them and purchased banners to help attract business out at the market. Last week was my first week out and I made close to $1000 in sells. I was ecstatic, but sadly this week when I went I didn't sell a single one :nonod:. This was very disappointing and odd, but I'm determined not to let this deter me. As far as marketing goes, I am looking at creating a fundrasing program using my product. I would split the profits with the organization and have it delivered with a form for the consumer to order more if they liked it. Those next orders, all the profit would come straight to me. I am simply working with this residential detergent to get cash flow and move onto bigger and better things. I hope to expand the detergent to selling commercial detergent to hotels/nursing homes/hospital etc. There is actually a company here that does the laundry for all hospitals in my state and that would be MAJOR if I could have them start using my detergent. The problem with commercial is most of these places have contracts with a company called EcoLab. The good thing is they pay $140 for 5 gallons of EcoLab detergent and I could offer it for half of that and still double my money. Critique my plan and I'm open to hearing all advice! Thanks for reading! Best of luck to all of you in your own endeavors!
