Congrats on the launch! Seems like a brilliant solution. Do you offer an easy way to manage taxes when shipping internationally or is it up to the owner of a brand?

@senbaris Hey Baris! Thanks so much for your feedback and checking out Blanka! The great thing about Blanka is that we can work with entrepreneurs anywhere in the world (we have shipped to over 47 different countries to date!) But because we are globally agnostic, we leave the tax component up to the owner of the brand. That being said, Blanka integrates directly with Shopify and there are some amazing Shopify apps out there that can handle taxes on your behalf (Zamp and TaxJar to name a couple!)

This is an awesome product Kaylee! How important has custom packaging been to exploring the brands narrative to their customer base?

@kaylee_lieffers really interesting niche - white label cosmetics! If this ends up being a success - are you hoping to move into different verticals (Ie: merch/water bottles/clothing etc)? Or will you try to expand into different markets with the same model? I am also curious how the pricing works on your side - are you simply putting a small markup on products for services rendered or is the pricing structure much more complex? (Also feel free not to answer if its proprietary) Anyways - l love the UI and the idea seems super flushed out!

@dzaitzow Hey Daniel, thanks so much for your feedback! Right now, we're laser-focused on the beauty industry, as we see a lot of room for growth here. Some of the products we currently offer include makeup, skincare, haircare, men’s products, and vitamins & supplements. While we may explore other categories down the line, our focus is firmly on beauty for now. As for pricing, we've kept it simple – a monthly subscription fee plus the cost of any products you choose. Thanks again for your interest – we really appreciate it!

@kaylee_lieffers Love that from a pricing perspective - I also feel like that degree of transparency helps prospective buyers in their decision making process. I haven't seen too many folks in the space doing this - are there any big competitors doing what you do (or close to) and what differentiates you from them?

@dzaitzow Thanks for the feedback on pricing! It's tough to know if you've nailed pricing - it always feels a bit like a moving target 😛 Our biggest competitors are the manufacturers themselves. But funny enough, they become our suppliers! Theoretically, one of our customers could go to a manufacturer directly, but they would then be stuck with only the products that manufacturer offers, plus there are high minimum order quantities, no branding of the products and zero fulfillment. So we are the best alternative because we address all of that!

What are the ways you'll help your clients keep their products differentiated? How much upfront and ongoing design/consulting/advisory help do you provide your clients?

@clarryant Thanks for the feedback Chris! Great questions! Since our products are private labeled, the main way they are differentiated is through custom logos on the products and packaging. This is actually quite common in the beauty and wellness industry! That being said, we've seen increasing demand from clients for more customization options, including tailored packaging, ingredients, and even scents. To meet this need, we've introduced an enterprise offering that supports these customizations. When it comes to design and marketing support, we offer our clients access to the Blanka Marketing Hub, where they can purchase marketing and design services. However, we primarily focus on the supply chain side of their business, staying out of their marketing and branding efforts. Thanks for checking out Blanka ;)

I love that! at the same time so does that mean that people are basically going to be getting the same foundation just with a different brand label on them? They are just doing print on demand it's the same product essentially just with a different label on it? I think it's a great concept but as long as there is a variety of different types of foundations or different types of makeup products or supplements and it's not all just everyone doing the same makeup product with a different brand name on there! But I do think it's awesome! all love!
