💗 The Part of Small Business You Don't Always See
Before we even sell a cookie, we're paying for:
✨ LLC & annual fees
✨ Insurance
✨ Website, business phone & email
✨ Local Business Tax Receipt
✨ Market/vendor fees
✨ Business memberships
✨ Marketing & Canva
✨ Internet & electricity
✨ Card processing fees & taxes
✨ Ingredients & packaging
✨ Equipment & supplies
✨ Gas & transportation
Small businesses don't have the same buying power as large retailers. We're not purchasing ingredients and packaging by the truckload or mass-producing thousands of products at a time. We buy in smaller quantities, make everything in small batches, and that means our cost per item is higher.
So when you pay $5–$6 for a cookie, that's not $5–$6 in our pocket. 😂🍪
Small business doesn't automatically mean cheaper.
It means you're supporting someone who is the baker, shopper, photographer, marketer, customer service department, delivery driver, accountant, inventory manager, dishwasher AND cleanup crew. 😂
So to everyone who understands the value of shopping small and continues to support businesses like ours:
THANK YOU. 💗
You're not just buying a cookie. You're helping keep a small business running. 🍪✨
