I've just gotten my first opportunity to wholesale my pots to a shop (as
opposed to consignment).
I'm used to the 60/40 split at consignment shops. If any of you wholesale
your pots to shops and/or galleries, what sort of percentages are
reasonable? How do you price your ware? Do you use your show prices or
another scale? Any info. would be appreciated. TIA

Dear Debra,
The 300+ ceramic artists in our wholesale show each February and July offer
50% discounts from their retail prices to stocking galleries and shops.
Most of these artists require a $200 minimum starting order. Most holiday
orders have been shipped by October 15th... get yours delivered right away
and you might get a second order about November 15-20!!! If you decide to
wholesale in a more serious way call us... 410/889-3093.

Best Wishes,
