Tips To Help You Sell Your Own BBQ Sauce Brand

By Mia Kent


If you have created your very own homemade recipe that both you and others really find both tasty and unique, you might want to consider the possibility of selling your BBQ sauce brand. While it is definitely going to take time for you to learn about all the different steps needed to sell something to the public, most people find it worth all the hard work.

Before you even consider selling your favorite condiment, make sure that you have perfected the recipe. Make sure you allow others the opportunity to taste your creation. Inviting family, friends and even co-workers to taste your food can help you get a better understanding of the flavor from a different prospective. Having parties is a simple and fun way to let others taste your food.

When you're creating your product, try to limit or all together eliminate the perishable ingredients in your recipe. Having perishable items in a sauce of this nature can sometimes make them a bit more difficult to sell because of the need for refrigeration. You might want to consider trying dehydrated ingredients when appropriate in place of fresh to help your product be more shelf stable.

Make sure before you begin selling your product that you have all of the necessary licenses to sell your food, this is especially important if you plan to ship your products to different places. Remember, shipping rules may differ from place to place so, check with each place before you begin shipping food to that area.

You will then need to decide how you are going to package your food for transporting and selling. Check with your local government to see if there are any specific requirements that must be met when packaging the food. It may take a few different types of packaging before you find the one that suits your needs and complies with all the rules.

Never miss an opportunity to show others what your product is like. Consumers love samples and they are an excellent way to allow others to decide if they like the flavor of the food you have to offer. Entering into contests that will showcase your recipes will also help you show others your creation.

Approach local markets with samples of your food. Local markets often like to showcase local talent in the community. As your food begins to grow in popularity you might also want to think about approaching bigger markets and establishments to show them what you have to offer.

It will definitely take some time to get the word out about your BBQ sauce brand and begin seeing a profit. You are also going to need to be prepared to invest financially in your project, though you will not necessarily need to spend a lot to get things started. The most important thing to remember is to be patient and persistent when showcasing your merchandise and do not be shy to take advise or get help from others when it is need.
