What you should consider before:

1) Take a realistic look at yourself:
What products are you selling now?
Type type of product?
What step of product?
What price range is best?
How well is your staff trained?
Are you stay pro-active or re-active in the sales process?

2) Investigate several private label suppliers.
Compare:
Product formulas
Pricing
Labeling
Bottle Designs
History of success
Educational and Sales material
Refferences

3) Budget:
What is this going to cost you to get started and keep going.

4) Timeframe:
From start untill you have the bottles on your shelf, how long. So when do I want this?

5) Packaging:
An idea of what you want to say on the bottles or the design you want.
What works for you now, what would you like to see done differently to make your product sell more.
