We produced 5,000 copies of our first game in November of last year.
Salvation Challenge is a Christian game, and we went on 8 tv shows in the USA in November December and pointed the viewers to our website from which we sold just over 300 games.
We had hoped to sell quite a lot more, however we also recieved quite a few write ups in Christian as well as secular papers. We understand that news of the game has gone into January's Christian trade journals, which is the mag for the wholesalers retailers etc. And we have had our first enquiry from a wholesaler. (Previously we never contacted wholesalers as our manufactiuring date was to close to Christmas).
Our manufacturing costs were $7.50 per unit for 5,000 units.
We can produce a second run of games for around $4 dollars per unit.
We set the price of the game at $29.95
Similar games sell for $39.99 in Christian bookstores
QUESTION
What price should we set for wholesalers?
Any other advice welcome.......

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the info.........
Say game retails @ $34.95 - 60% = $13.98 + Shipping
Is the above scenario correct ie - 60% + Shipping?
My question is in the USA do people always discuss a wholesale figure, and is it taken for granted that the wholesale figure is ALWAYS
+ shipping?
