I have been contacted several times about carrying my items in brick and mortar shops. While this is a major compliment to me, I find that I have to be extremely selective about what shops I allow to carry my handmade items. Please know that I’m not being full of myself. Remember, I hand make each and every item in my shop and my prices are already so low that I don’t offer wholesale pricing. My items are basically one of a kind, which is a great selling point for shops who have dozens and dozens of exact copies to offer customers. Who doesn’t like to be the proud owner of a one off or to give a handmade one of a kind gift? Each of my Cuddle Buddies are as unique as the person you gift it to! This takes time, and I refuse to change the quality of my work. Therefore, I am happy to consider your shop to carry my items if you can agree to the following:
Limited to 20 at a time. I will create a small limited collection of 20, just for your shop. This means your shop will have a collection of my handmade items that no other shop will have. You can choose any combination of sizes.
I do not offer wholesale pricing. My prices are already a great deal and allows room for shops to add enough to make money on my hard work. I don’t price my items to make a killing, I price them to cover my materials and sometimes it will even cover the time it takes me to create the item, sometimes it doesn’t. I’m okay with this, because I love to create and love getting my handmade items into people’s hands.
You will be required to keep my brand attached to the item, which is a cute tag with my logo and information. You will also receive special packaging and signage to display letting customers know you offer my handmade cuddle buddies. In the right shop, customers will be happy to purchase something they know is handmade in Oklahoma - USA!
If you are okay with everything outlined above, contact me with your order and we’ll get started!
