He started the company before my niece graduated college. You can go the small business route and build the brand or reach out to retailers directly. I'd be happy to speak with my niece once you're ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVU Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Food costs would make it very tough to compete. You will sell to friends and family only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there are two ways to compete - price and differentiation. Price is the way many compete but Gucci, Prada, etc. don't make the cheapest clothes and still make money.

Pal that may be delicious but you need to make that more visually appealing if you’re going to sell that. That looks like a jar of vomit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Been in the food business most my life till I retired last year,have to say starting a food business in this climate isn’t ideal.The cost of your materials are basically going up on a weekly basis.Regardless,I will give you my opinion on how to get your world famous salsa to the masses. I will assume you have done all your food cost analysis and test marketing,as well as a foolproof recipe. 1) Rent a commissary/ghost kitchen,this is what my tenants have in my old shop.You can rent by the hour/day/weekly or long term. Biggest disadvantage to this,is you have to produce the product yourself but you have total control of all aspects from start to finish 2)Co pack company Find a co pack company that specializes in sauces and you sign an agreement with them to produce and bottle your salsa. Although this is a much more expensive way to take your product to market,you don’t have to supply the labour and it’s easier to predict your cost per unit.

WVU Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Everyone and their brother think they make great salsa and hot sauce that the market wants and needs. The fact is, they don't. I know you are also a fan of The Foods That Built America. The difference is all those entrepreneurs brought something completely different to the market. Salsa is not new or unique. It is everywhere. Something that Pace sells for $2.38 (16 ounces) will likely cost you double or triple to produce, so you would have to sell at a ridiculously high price like $12 for a small jar. Not sure people will want to spend top dollar on an unknown king salsa product. Do you plan to grow your own tomatoes, peppers, and spices? How much do you think it will cost you to produce a 16 ounce jar of the stuff you made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdalert447 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Salsa is a white-guilt condiment. Add “white-guilt condiment” to the glossary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
