The bulk supplement deal is tracking quite nicely. We are probably still a few weeks away from being ready as
I am updating my resources and getting new and better prices. One question though regarding whey protein. I
guarantee that I will carry exactly what I claim. I will probably carry two types--an instantized 80%-87% and a
super high quality 90+%. Here's the deal though--to do this the cheapest way possible and without bogging my
day down repacking product--I will need to sell the product in the packaging that comes from the manufacturer.
I am trying to work out several deals to get smaller packaging but I MAY HAVE TO SELL THE PRODUCT IN 40-50 POUND
BAGS. The largest whey manufacturer in the world (and the very best) sells their product in 40-50 pound bags.
If I go with this manufacturer, this is probably how I will have to sell it. A 50 pound bag of the cheaper material
will probably sell for $200.00 to $250.00--$4.00-$5.00 per pound. This is dirt cheap--for in the store you will pay
a minimum of $15.00 per pound. The super high quality stuff will run about $7.00 per pound and will cost about $350.00
for 50 pounds. Remember, I may not have to deal in these quantites--just maybe. I don't believe though that these
quantities should be a problem because most bodybuilders have friends who also lift. Believe me, the price goes way
up when you talk about the cost of containers, labels, manpower, and shipping. I need responses from everyone out there
on this subject. Oh yeah, I thing I will be able in the very near future to offer a 60-80% phosphatidylserine product
which is no more expensive than the current 20%. Guys, this will be revolutionary. It's in the works now and I am working
with the company that will be producing it. You guys will be the first and only (for a while) to have this product.
Keep up the fight
