Selling your hobby sauce.

[BenVanned]

I have been trying to sell some of my hobby sauce to cover some of the hobby expenses like woozys, hardware, growtech, and buying pods and such. I can't seem to get anyone to bite. I explain my sauces, I post them on facebook, I tell people about them, and I have still to this point only sold two jars. Do any of you sell your hobby sauce and how do you manage to do it?

I give tons of my product away until people beg me for it. Once that occurs which is often it becomes something for sale.

my opinion on the subject

 

[Lucky Dog Hot Sauce]

Same - I must have given away ~2500 bottles of sauce before I ever sold any. Then by the last year of hobby batch making I'd sell out 60 bottles in less than 24 hours.

Simple: To move supply you have to create demand.

Good luck!


ps - I still give away a lot of sauce. I've gotten everyone in my office hooked on it. Like any good dealer, the 1st one's always free.

I do violate the cardinal rule though - the 3 open bottles on my desk are evidence that I've broken the "don't get high on your own supply" mantra.

Omar on The Wire would be very disappointed in me.

Omar and my CMB would not be pleased....
