Hey ,
I'll be honest. I'm overwhelmed AF.
The amount of decisions that needs to be made to put together a product line is no cake walk.
I could really use some help...
It's a balancing act of sourcing material that is high-quality, environmental friendly but also affordable enough that I'm still turning a profit for each jagua & henna kit sold.

Problems I'm running into:
-
Ridiculous Minimum Orders - Most print houses want me to commit to at least 1,000 units. That's not just expensive, it's straight-up unrealistic. Like... where would I even store all that?
-
Impossible to Figure Out Shipping - Shipping rates are ridiculous. Imagine buying a kit, then seeing shipping cost almost the same as the kit itself. No way that feels fair to buyers.
-
Complete Decision Fatigue - Packaging is a nightmare. Tin boxes could be useful for freezer storage, but is that overcomplicating? Boxes are simpler, but they get tossed and aren’t sustainable. URGH!

The good news is in the grand scheme of it all: we're narrowing the entire product line.
That means it won't just be temporary tattoo jagua kits.
But rather an entire online store for a body art collective.
Think henna, tattoo sticker sheets, design booklets, etc.

Anyway, what do you think? have any questions?
Sending good vibes,
