How to make $10k in Q4 selling candy

/ thread

Americans are projected to spend $3 billion this year on Halloween candy ALONE

The average spend per person for holiday candies after Halloween is $150

That's conservatively over $15 billion on tasty goodies in November and December

Let's get a piece of that pie

There are 3 main ways where you can buy candy to resell

-Online
-Discount stores
-Regular grocers with sales ads

Each week, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, etc will be running ad flyers for different seasonal candies

I have found the best places to be drug stores, where you can find candies up to 75% off

Check your local ads every week to find the deals

There are 3 main ways to sell the candy

-Selling bundles
-Selling individuals
-Creating your own listings

Selling Bundles

Since shipping cost is usually the same for an individual or a bundle, the most profitable listings will be for bundles.

This will require a manual Amazon search for a good listing.

Study the Keepa chart to determine your profit, fees, and whether Amazon is in stock.

Also pay close attention to what the candy does during the upcoming holiday period between Black Friday and Christmas.

Selling Individuals

This is usually less profitable, since you will have a minimum fee that will only go up slightly when selling a bundle.

However, for some higher priced candies or limited editions, this may be your best option.

Creating Your Own Listings

This is by far the most profitable, but requires the most skill and carries risk.

You will need to have good SEO, experience with creating Amazon listings, and likely will use PPC ads to drive traffic to your listing.

Discount Store Candy

Discount stores like Dollar Tree and Dollar General have amazing prices on popular candy that is often not found in regular retailers.

Simple take pictures of the shelves in your store and do your research at home, or do research right in the aisle.

I use Scoutify 2 and have my Keepa linked to my account for easy research.

Here is a great bundle

at $1 cost each, your total cost is $12 with a low selling price of $31.96

After fees, that brings your net profit to $8.89 ea or 74% ROI

Amazon is nearly never on the listing and it is top 1%

This is a great find!

If you have 6 Dollar Tree stores in you area, and you can get 2-3 bundles per store

That's $160.02 profit on just one candy bundles

Multiple that times that sheer number of candies found at retailers, and you can make a killing!

At an average return of $7 and with one restock per week, you can find 15 different bundles at your stores which turn 6 times over the next 6 weeks

Bringing you a total of $11,340 in profit

Just don't get high on your own supply.
