Commercial Rubs How much do you pay
This is a picture of our first commercially produced bottle, Chef Norah Grace wants them to give away at events that she cooks at.

That's an expected average price. I suspect the average price allows a bit more profit when the bottling run is 1000, and the spices are bought in bulk.As far as give a ways, a whole bottle seems like a lot. I see Staples has small cellophane bags at about $60/1000, and maybe they could be sealed just w. a clothes iron.FWIW, I've noticed a lot of smaller brand commercial blends tend to be loaded w. salt and sugar

I agree that a full bottle is a LOT to give away. I don't know how much Dizzy Pig's sample bags hold, but as I recall, they are zip-lock bags. Maybe Chris would sell you some. Then again, now you're the competition!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Spam?? That is ridiculous. I agree about using the smaller zip lock bags for samples. Good luck with this venture. And that $12 price point is about the same here.Memphis, TN

smaller packets, foil pouches etc for free samples. something that easily fits in a back pocket. i would not expect anyone to give me a 12 ounce jar of rub to carry around all day

Are you outsourcing this or bottled in homeVisalia, Ca @lkapigian

Have you got a website set up yet? I agree that all you need for samples is a little ziplock bag, logo on one side and contact info on the other side. She could sell a wide range of merch on there.

This was before my time here, but just so you'll know, @Nature Boy (Chris) started out here by posting his cooks and rub recipes. It's my understanding that folks convinced him to stop sharing his recipes. Next thing you know... DP was born! I'm sure that's an abbreviated version, but that's how I heard it.
Glad it's working out for him! Just wanted to point out that you may not want to be giving away Norah Grace's store.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

@Carolina Q most of the people we will be giving it away to at the events. They are new to cooking at a lot of the classes we teach together. Also it’s a nice way to get people interested in our Instagram and Facebook. We share lots of recipes on them.
She wants to be the next Christy Vanover or Hey Grill Hey
And i I don’t mind giving the rub recipe away to eggheads, you guys have been supportive of her cooking journey. I don’t think any one on here is going to take her recipe and make money off of it.XL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2 -

I've never shared our seasoning recipes that we sell commercially, but that's kind of expected, right? Norah Grace rocks and will surely succeed in her quest. Fun to watch.
Beers!

@Nature Boy thanks for all of your help and support. We have zero intentions of selling rubs, I can’t imagine the headache that would be. I was trying to say that I know if the average price for a bottle of rub is $12, there isn’t much meat on the bone for companies. Dizzy Pig uses top quality fresh ingredients, has a team dedicated to mixing and bottling the product, not much money in a bottle of rub.
We were lucky enough to find a guy who is really doing this at zero margin, just because he knows we’re giving it away and like the idea of her doing it. Yes I have to pay for labels and the ingredients but other than that nothing. No surcharges or fees. He’s also close enough we can pick up 6 cases at a time and give them away. I’d be happy to share with you some of the other things we’ve tried or ship you a bottle once we get our cases. You’re a man that won’t pull any punches so you can tell me if we’re on to something. People are willing to pay her to cook at events now and always want her seasoning mix so why not try to build a following of loyal “fans” and spread the bbq love.XL BGE, KJ classic, Joe Jr, UDS x2 -
@Carolina Q don't even get me started on age and memory! Amazing how much changes in the way we think as we age :( Even if someone told me to stop sharing what I've learned, I couldn't do it. @ryantt I think it's cool that you got someone to do this for you so inexpensively, and give Norah Grace a chance to spread the love! And absolutely I could try a little and will offer an honest opinion, but please don't send me a whole bottle Good luck with it and have fun on the ride!
Chris
