Social media is a PITA if you ask me with people that just hit the "like " button. That being sJd my wife posted a picture for me that's said "syrup for sale if interested " and then listed.the prices. I have to ship to 5 states this week.....Are you maybe asking too much price wise?

[Samuelvw1]

100ml=7.00
250ml=14.00

What are your prices

Hmmm....quick math shows 250 ml is just about 8oz. I sell very few that smal as it is my smallest size other than maple leafs for wedding favors. Our 8 ounce is $5.......

We sell our 8.5 Oz glass bottles for $6 and have been averaging (selling) a couple a day. All sold at my wife's work with the inner company website

I also put an honor system in the lobby at the shop I own and grab all the salesmen.women that come in wanting to sell us something

I sell hundreds of bottles at that price,with all the work,why would you want to sell it any less or give it away.

Don't sell your self short Sam . We are about an hour and a half from you in Cornwall NY. We get $ 12.00 for a 12oz bottle and $8.00 for an 8oz bottle. We are small time and only sell 75 to 100 bottles a season. People tell me we should ask more for it. Of course we are on the same road as the Storm King Art Center. People that come up from NYC to go there pass our place. Anythings cheep outside of NYC. With the exception of our land tax!!!! Hold your price just get the word out better.

you brought up a great point! The value of the dollar in the city vs. out in the country side!! Always amazed me that in two hours you can go from people living in trailer homes to multi million dollar homes in the state of New York

This is important if you can tap into the tourism market. If city people are going to be visiting your area for campgrounds or recreational lakes or whatever, they will want things to help them remember their good vacation times and they will pay more. If you can get a local store that caters to them to sell your syrup, it's a win-win for you and the store owner.

Not for nothing, but try to refrain from turning a hobby into something that drives down the price of a product for others. The number of people I see coming here learning to make syrup with no established market to sell to is eye opening. Personally, I think we're on the way to self ruin with too many producers and not enough consumers. The free market will settle itself out eventually, but in the meantime, longterm producers are apt to take a beating. We have a market, we'll survive, but many others are investing money into a "hobby" turned business that is quickly becoming saturated.
Make a quality product.
Promote a quality product.
Don't sell for less than it costs you to produce.
