I am thinking of opening a small manufacturing co and making old style homemade soaps, designer candles, lotions, bath oils and the like. Does anyone think this would work, and if so any marketing ideas that would help my products reach the public?

Thanks,
Richard

It is a really hard business. I am in the same business. People want commercial and cheap.

My sister does this in the summer and in her spare time. She also makes soy candles. Also is now getting into making jewelry. She does a farely descent job a sales. She basically does just the craft shows. Her husband is retired due to his eyes and she now only works 4 hours a day. She doesn't work summers or when there is no school. And she is doing enough business that they live comfortable.

Best of Luck
Janet

Have you thought of doing gift baskets with your items? Maybe also donating for drawings at local schools or clubs. Just a thought.

I have a lotion business, it is hard work. But you have to find your niche. I sell wholesale to gift basket companies. I have found that opening a custom blending bar is really profitable. JMO

was wondering if you would send me a price list of your items? I am starting a gift basket business and would like to include your items in them. Thanks...Sandra W.

Laura,
I make all natural goat's milk soap from fresh goat's milk from my goats. The types that I make are honey goat's milk, plain goat's milk, oatmeal goat's milk, and oatmeal honey goat's milk. The oils I use are lard, sunflower, olive, coconut, avocodo butter, and cocoa butter. If you would like pictures and prices of my product to sell in your store contact me at karen_jackson_goats@hotmail.com

I'm doing herbal soap in Thailand of wholesale but now we have a lot of company do this biz. I want to change products line to goat's milk soap that still have the room.

I would be intersted in knowing more about your product, it sounds very interesting!

Anne,
My product is made from fresh goat's milk soap and natural oils. The lard that I use in it has no ADHD or other synthetic things in it. (I get the fat from my brother-in-law when he slaughters hogs and render it myself). I use all natural vegetable oils and butters (my base consist of olive oil, cocoa butter, avocado butter, sunflower oil, and coconut oil as well as essential oils on the scented varieties.) This soap not only suds up really well, it also last a long time. My husband and I use a 5.00 bar for a whole month. I have branched out and do some scents--lavendar, tea tree, lemon grass as well as honey, honey oatmeal, oatmeal, and plain. I sell at the Ardmore flea market in TN and also do mail order. If you would like to order some send me a message, you pay for the price of soap, handling, and a small shipping fee. If it is for a store I offer a discount.

Visit my site. Goodluck!

Tonya,
I make my own goat's milk soap from my goats' milk and have products to sale. You can view my products at www. lillyvalleyfarm.com on our soap page. Would you be interested in adding these to your gift baskets. We also discount for wholesale buyers such as stores and so forth.

Tonya,

I have a line of "stained glass" candles that I paint that go really nicely with gift baskets, I supply one lady in my area with all the candles she puts in her gift baskets. If you are doing a bath or kitchen basket and you want a candle to match the towels, all you have to do is send me a picture and I can paint it on the side of a candle. After I paint the candle you can get any scent you would like, I have over 100 fragrance oils in stock. If you are doing a coffee basket I can do a hot butter cappachino, or morning brew candle in a china teacup, or matching coffee mug to match your basket. They are great fun!

Anne
