I was wondering if any of you bottle and sell your own BBQ sauce and would be willing to offer some guidance and maybe point me in the right direction for a couple of things?
How do I go about getting nutritional information on my label?
I use ketchup as a base for my sauces. Is that okay for ingredients label purposes or should I not be lazy and make my base with my own ingredients? I'm not sure I can list ketchup as an ingredient.
How did you start selling? My idea was to set up a booth at some farmers markets and handing out cards to my website to sell online. The idea would be to be able to give sales data to the grocery stores when asking them to carry my product. I would start with smaller mom and pop and specialty stores, hopefully get solid sales and then go after the regional/national chains if sales continue to grow.
One of my concerns is a big chunk of the country thinks of BBQ as being seasonal and worry I won't sell in the fall and winter.
Again, any guidance or advice would be appreciated. The idea of taking a passion and hobby and turn it into a business is exciting but at the same time I wonder if I'm just chasing a pipe dream.
