@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!
Daniel Zaitzow
@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?
Kaylee Lieffers
Maker
@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!

@sventt Thanks for your feedback! We love partnering with both Shopify and Wix, because it makes it super easy for our entrepreneurs to create products on Blanka and then instantly sell them on their online store. The direct integration makes shipping and fulfillment a breeze!

This is honestly so cool—it's wild how comprehensive this product is (drop shipping, integration with multiple e-commerce platforms), when it could have just stopped at "easy white-labelling." Congrats on the launch!

@bensyverson Thank you so much Ben! We love how you truly get the essence of what we've revolutionized at Blanka :) Will be following along on your launch of Mattebox!

@bensyverson Thanks so much Ben! We honestly tried to solve every headache that an entrepreneur experiences when launching a beauty brand, and it's become a very turn key solution! Appreciate the feedback :)
Ben Syverson
@kaylee_lieffers During my time at IDEO I led a project for a big beauty brand and we basically suggested they do what you’re doing—it makes so much sense.

@bensyverson LOVE that! How cool!
Baris
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?
Kaylee Lieffers
Maker
@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!)

Smart. Basically making it easy to build the MVP of your CPG brand. You have my upvote!
Kaylee Lieffers

@stephnass Exactly! Blanka makes it super easy to launch your CPG brand in less than five minutes. We are entrepreneurs building for other entrepreneurs. Thanks for the feedback!
Morgane Perrier
Congrats on the launch! Blanka seems like an amazing platform for anyone looking to launch an online cosmetic store with ease, bonus points for offering vegan products! I’ve always felt that while transitioning to plant-based food can be challenging for some, opting for vegan cosmetics feels like such an easy and impactful choice. Wishing you all the best with Blanka!
Kaylee Lieffers
Maker
@morgane_prr Thanks so much for the feedback, Morgane! I completely agree – transitioning to a plant-based diet can be tough, and I’ve been on that journey myself over the years. But when it comes to vegan, cruelty-free beauty products, the quality is just as high, and the positive impact on our environment is huge! Thanks again for checking us out – we truly appreciate your support!

Have you considered expanding your product line to include more eco-friendly packaging options? It would be great to see your commitment to sustainability reflected in every aspect of your brand. Keep up the great work!
Kaylee Lieffers
Maker
@samalyx Hey Samar, thanks so much for this fantastic feedback! Sustainability is something we care deeply about, and it’s at the forefront of our thinking as we grow. When it comes to primary packaging (the product's container), we're constantly exploring more eco-friendly substitutes and recyclable options. We’re also proud to share that our secondary packaging is made from paper, which is fully recyclable. We're committed to doing everything we can to reduce our environmental footprint, and your suggestion is definitely something we'll continue to prioritize. Thanks for supporting us!!! 🫶🏻

Congratulations on launching Blanka! This platform looks like a game-changer for aspiring beauty entrepreneurs. I'm curious, how does Blanka ensure that all products are cruelty-free and vegan? Can't wait to see this innovative solution take off!
Kaylee Lieffers
Maker
@ihuzaifashoukat Hi Huzaifa, thank you so much for your support and kind words! When it comes to ensuring that all products are cruelty-free and vegan, we take this very seriously. Every product that’s made available on Blanka undergoes rigorous testing to meet our high standards for quality and ingredients. We also work closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure that the products align with our commitment to ethical sourcing and practices. Thanks for your interest, and we can’t wait for you to see the journey unfold!! 🚀🚀

Absolute game changer in the eComm market. The amount of hours that brand owners will save is astronomical.
Kaylee Lieffers
Maker
@erich_ko93 Thank you so much for the feedback Erich! That's exactly what we are aiming for. Traditionally, if someone wanted to start their own beauty brand, they would spend hours vetting suppliers, they would have to make a large upfront investment in inventory to meet minimum order requirements, they would have to store their inventory somewhere and they would have to manage the logistics related to shipping products to their end consumers. With Blanka, entrepreneurs launching independent brands no longer have to deal with these headaches, because we take care of everything from sourcing, through to branding and fulfillment. Appreciate you taking the time to check out Blanka!
