📦 Cottage bakers: have you opened a free Amazon Business account yet?

If you regularly purchase bakery boxes, bread bags, labels, shipping supplies, parchment, or other business essentials, it may be worth setting up an Amazon Business account before the upcoming Prime Big Deal Days event.

Amazon Business offers a free account option, with no minimum spend or long-term commitment required. Depending on the product and your account eligibility, you may also find business pricing, quantity discounts, and other purchasing benefits.

And packaging is one of the areas where this could be especially useful. Instead of waiting until you’re almost out of boxes or bags, you can start comparing prices and planning your next supply order.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days are scheduled for October 6–7, so now is a good time to:

✅ Open your free Amazon Business account
✅ Review your packaging inventory
✅ Save frequently purchased supplies to a list
✅ Compare business pricing and quantity discounts
✅ Watch for eligible deals during the event

I’ve also started gathering useful packaging and cottage-baking supplies on my Cottage Baker Favorites page, including bakery boxes, bread bags, labels, thermal label printers, shipping supplies, and other small-business essentials.

🌿 **Looking for a few more local retail partners in the Asheville area!**

I’m the owner of **Clear Creek Sourdough**, a small-batch sourdough business based in Hendersonville. Our dehydrated sourdough starter is already being carried by local retail partners, and I’m looking to connect with a few more shops that serve home bakers, gift shoppers, and customers who enjoy supporting local makers.

**Easy to stock, easy to explain, and designed with retail margin potential in mind.** Our starter offers:

🌾 Long shelf life
🌾 No refrigeration required
🌾 Minimal shelf space
🌾 Simple display
🌾 A useful product for beginner and experienced bakers
🌾 Retail margin potential without requiring a large inventory investment

I offer **4 oz jars for local retail**, and **shipping-friendly packets** for stores outside the immediate area.

This could be a natural fit for local markets, gift shops, farm shops, kitchen stores, specialty food stores, and other small businesses that enjoy carrying practical products from North Carolina makers.

You can learn more about the product, retail options, and current partners here:

If you own a shop—or know of one that may be a good fit—feel free to comment or send me a message. I’d love to connect!
