How to Sell Meal Worms to Pet Stores
Mealworms are easy to raise and can net a pretty penny if you sell them to pet stores above your cost. Because mealworms are the softer, larvae version of a beetle, birds prefer to dine on themthey're quite succulent. Showing that you're a responsible, repeat seller who has a clean operation will go a long way toward convincing pet store owners that you're the mealworm provider they want to use. It can take three months to get a colony of mealworms started, but then you can produce larvae constantly by keeping things in a cycle.
Instructions
- 1 Take pictures of the environment and habitat you've grown your worms in. List the food you give them and how long you've been growing them. If you've sold to pet stores before, ask the owners if you can use them as a reference. Include all this information in a portfolio.
2 Call the pet store and ask when you can meet with the owner. Explain that you are a mealworm breeder and that you'd like to sell him some of your stock.
3 Attend the meeting with the pet store owner or manager. Explain your mealworm breeding operation, including the information in your portfolio. Give him a price slightly above what you actually want and ask if he thinks that's fair. If he'd rather negotiate, then haggle until you agree on a price.
4 Decide on delivery terms. When and where does he want the mealworms. You should also ask if he'd like to make the arrangement an ongoing one, pending the sale of your mealworms to his customers, and his happiness with the product.
5 Combine potato wedges and shredded lettuce under a cloth in a plastic bin. Drill holes in the lid. Add the mealworms to the bin for transport. Keep the cloth moist to prevent cannibalism. Deliver the mealworms on time, as scheduled.
