How to start a loofah shop, in short: A loofah shop needs a clear range, a plain label for each item, and a fair price. Start with body sponges, kitchen pads and one gift item, buy at the first or second tier, and learn what your customers pick.
Pick the shelf you are building
A shop can be a corner of a zero-waste store, a bath and body shelf or a full loofah shop. Draw the shelf first. A small shelf holds eight to twelve products.
Build a starter range
A simple starter range: oval body sponge (L1001), round body scrubber (L1003), kitchen pads (L1010, L1011, L1013), exfoliating glove (L1004), soap bag with rope (L1014) and back scrubber (L1017). All towel parts, edges, loops and ropes are 100% cotton.
Price it
Take the EGEXO tier price, add shipping and duty, then add your costs and your margin. The price tiers are public:
| Quantity | 1-499 | 500-1,999 | 2,000-4,999 | 5,000+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1001S oval body sponge, 11 x 14 cm | $0.98 | $0.82 | $0.70 | $0.55 |
| L1010 oval kitchen pad, 11 x 8 cm | $0.78 | $0.65 | $0.56 | $0.43 |
| L1009 spa slippers, size M | $4.91 | $4.24 | $3.79 | $3.12 |

Label it honestly
Write what the item is: plant fibre loofah, the size in cm, 100% cotton parts. Loofah is 100% biodegradable. Do not write health claims on labels.
Order samples, then stock
Order samples, put them next to your current products, then place your first order. Standard lead time is 7 to 25 days from payment.
Reorder with a calendar
Mark your busy weeks. Big buyers order 2 to 3 months before their season, so your reorder date comes earlier than you think.
