Ad cost
Buyers search with words like "loofah wholesale" or "hotel amenities". Clicks on such words cost about $2 to $10 each in the United States (our keyword check, Oct 2026). One new customer who reorders pays for many clicks, so start with a small test budget and track every request.
Steps
- Make a short range card for spas: three products, sizes, and your price per unit.
- Order samples and show them in person. Spas like to touch a product before they order.
- Ask for the quote with your shipping term. The shipping time is confirmed in your quote.
- Ask your broker about UK import VAT and duty. The UK also has an association agreement with Egypt, so you may pay lower or zero import duty; please confirm with your customs broker.
- Reorder from the same quote structure when a spa asks again, and ask each spa what it wants to add.
Checklist
- Range card ready
- Samples shown to at least three spas
- Selling price per unit decided
- Duty and VAT checked with your broker
- Reorder reminder set
