Craft Kit Designer

If you already create original craft patterns (see Craft Pattern Designer for more info) you can earn many more times the amount of the pattern by offering it in a kit form complete with all supplies.

You will need to research the supplies and determine where you can get the supplies. Having a tax ID and a resale number will let you purchase the neccessary supplies wholesale.

Best selling kits have a clear color photograph of the finished product on the front. With today's color copier technology, quality color photocopies are suitable for most craft kit pictures - exceptions include any needlework craft, as the best detail may not be achievable with a color photocopier - take a photo into a print shop for recommendations and quotes. You should also consider whether your charts can be all black & white, of if you should have a two or more colored chart.

You should purchase large "ziploc" style craft bags that can be purchased wholesale or at a large craft supply store. They come with a hole punched in the top so retailers can easily hang the kits.

You can sell these directly through mail order, or to retailers, or both. If you both ways, set a retail price and always sell at that price so you are not undercutting retailers - undercutting is a quick way to ensure retailers will never carry any of your kits again. The wholesale price is usually about half of the retail price. Also, do not include any order forms with kits sent to retailers, as this will be seen as taking business away from them. Feel free to include contact information in your kits, just not blatant marketing attempts such as order forms.
