I used to be in this monthly subscription space..we did supplements though. How big are the jars? $30 seems a bit high.

  $30 is a bit steep for most salsas, although the thought here is that the salsa we buy is top of the line. I don’t see a reason for subscribing to Tostito’s salsa when you can buy it anywhere, so we’re aiming for family owned, authentic salsas. Jars are a bit larger than your average salsa jar. Examples of companies we’ve bought from: MyBrothersSalsa.com is where out first shipment came from. 3 jars + shippings was $26, so not much margin for us there. I’m also looking at GreenMountainGringo.com so I could potentially widen the margin a bit without skimping on quality. Lots of salsa brands to be scouted, and the salsa taste testing process is well underway!

    Got it. What you can also try to do is get smaller samples of Salsas from those companies. That's what we did with supplements - we got the samples and for the supplement companies we were another distribution channel / marketing opportunity as we had members who could buy the full size product through our site after trying the sample. So maybe its worth a shot seeing if you can get smaller samples of salsa so you'll have better margins. If you want some insight or help I'd be happy to answer any questions or chat. We did everything from getting samples, customers, shipping stuff and more. marco@masswerks.com
