How We Work
The Details
- We provide a single shopping location for buyers seeking great natural products and sellers, like you, looking to tell their story and grow their sales.
- You get an online store where you can post your products, list your prices, and tell your story - why you make your products, how you make them, what's in them, etc. - with lots of photos and video.
- Buyers buy products online from one or more sellers and pay us directly.
- We send an order to each seller - who can log in and print out the order.
- The order, with a pick slip, a gift message, and a shipping label, comes on a single 8x11 sheet.
- We prefer you use the perfectly sized and perforated labels that we'll tell you about.
- The label has a pre-printed UPS label, an optional gift message and a pick slip - you peel off the UPS label and put it on the outside of the box and put the gift message and pick slip inside along with the products.
- You call UPS, have them on a daily pickup or, if convenient, drop it off at a local drop-off location - once UPS scans the package, both you and Abe's Market get notified.
- We pay you 70% of the price you listed, and we keep 30%.
- We pay you on Friday if the product shipped by Tuesday afternoon. If it shipped on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, we pay the following Friday. Payment goes directly into your bank account, no waiting for checks in the mail.
- We give you analytics to understand customers shopping patterns and preferences.
- We support you with webinars on selling into retail, marketing, packaging, product expansion - all given by industry experts, including buyers and ex-buyers.
- We provide opportunities for you to interact with other sellers and learn from each other
Unfortunately, we can't sell everything at Abe's. Here are some things that might indicate we're not a match:
- If most of your products are priced under $10.
- If you sell bottled beverages
- If you're not fanatic about natural products and excellent customer service
Who We Are
We're Jon and Richard - founders of Abe's Market, the online marketplace for natural products. We're consumer product veterans and natural product entrepreneurs.
We've built brands from scratch (DaleandThomas.com) and managed $300M+ brands (at two Fortune 500 companies). We've been there. We've built websites, set up booths at shows on a shoestring budget, called friends who were also building companies to seek their advice, and we know the thrill when product sells.
We are planning to bring retail buyers, design gurus, veteran marketers and a slew of other experts to share their knowledge with you, and we're creating an interactive community of sellers. Abe's Market helps natural product sellers like you by giving you a platform to tell your unique story, bringing an audience of people looking for your products, and offering a community of like-minded sellers.
We built Abe's Market to help you grow.
