My husband and i, own a small candle and primitive business, we make all the candlesd tripple scent all on site. We buy primitives from wholesale and resale them. Do i triple it @200% it or 100% it and double it we have three stores up the road so we want to bet our comnpetitors n price witch it would b very hard to triple it.the candles we can triple it with out a proublem becvause we male them. What is the correct answer? If u buy from wholesalers to retail do un triple or double? If u double u need to make your money back to buy it again plus pay your overhead and pay yourself im so confused how can u do all that by just doubling? Please help me! Explain it all to me if you don't care. Thank u in advance

Hi, daddys babygirl!

The first thing that I would do, is see what similar items to what you are going to sell are selling for where you are wanting to market them. Doing that should give you an idea as to how you will be pricing yours.

If you could give more of an explanation as to what you mean by "primitives" that would be helpful.

If you need help with knowing how to market your products on the Internet so that others will find yours first in a particular area, please let me know. I can definitely help you there!

Also, please don't use all capital letters in a post because it's very hard to read.

Thanks!
