Jam, jelly and pickle making business startup: how to grow a million dollar success from home!

Jam, Jelly and Pickle Making Business Startup


How to Grow a Million Dollar Success from Home!


In 2008 after my husband lost his auto manufacturing job, we found ourselves in a dire situation, as we were in the middle of planning our youngest daughter’s wedding and all. But with the help of a friend, I made my passion for making homemade Jam, Jelly, and Pickle business into reality. We grew the business from local Detroit market to state and then regional and eventually to national level. We passed the million dollar sales mark in 2015. Since then we were contacted by a few name brand companies with purchase offers. But that is not relevant to this book.

I wrote this book to share my knowledge and experience with people everywhere that share the same passion as I do. And to show how they can get started in this business journey right from home and make it a million dollar success eventually, but one word of caution, it will not happen overnight. It will take some hard work and plenty of focus and dedications.
For you to see great success, you need to start by doing these followings:
Start from home Create a brand around your product Have a niche that makes you stand out from rest of the crowd Find out what flavors sell the most Create a line with no more than 5-7 SKU Market the product by taste test and word of mouth in local shops and markets.
Well it sounds simple enough I am sure especially as I write this, but for me, the learning curve was a very steep one at first. But my goal is to make sure you don’t have the same steep learning curves as I faced.
