I certainly learned a lot from this event! It was only the second time that I set up a booth for direct sales and I was quite nervous about the display and the stock I brought along. However, Thursday night was a huge success and actually represented 50% of my sales for the whole weekend. I am grateful for both my husband, Tom, and my mother, Midge, for their help in making this whole thing work.
Here is what was popular:
20% of sales: Tenor, Lead, Bari, and Bass soaps
10% of sales: Lavender Butter Bars
10% of sales: Lavender Loofah
10% of sales: Coffee Kitchen Soap
10% of sales: Tea Soaps (Green Tea, Chai Tea, Mint Tea combined)
8% of sales: Goat Milk Soaps (scented and unscented)
7% of sales: Castile Soap (including the baby soap. If I had more, this might have been higher on the list)
25% of sales: Everything else combined (Beer Soap, Wine Soap, Shampoo & Shaving Bars, Men's fragrances)
I do have a lot of the voice part soaps left over and am trying to decide what to do with them. They will last for over a year so I guess I need to decide if I'm going to take them to FLASH or not. Decisions.
About Me
- Lori Jo
- I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!
