Soap
Business Marketing Tips
Once you master
the skill of making quality soap, how is the best way
to make money selling soap? You have many
options for soap business marketing, but, in my opinion,
there is one best place to start. That best place is a
craft show. Certainly artisan soap is one of the obvious
crafts you can make and sell. And likely many soap
business success stories started with some simple local
marketing.
Here's why.
Craft shows are held just about everywhere. Shows come
in all types and sizes. You have the little neighborhood
shows at schools attracting a few crafters and a few
hundred shoppers. Then you have gigantic shows with
national reputations attracting over 100,000 visitors in
a weekend, with hundreds of vendors paying hundreds of
dollars to be there. So there really is something for
every person.
The larger regional shows may be the best chance to
really make some big money, but you don't want to start
there. First, it's too hard to get in and also you
wouldn't have enough stock to handle the potential sales
anyway.
More Soap Business Ideas
What you want to do is start small and learn how to do
everything related to your business and then you grow
from there.
The great thing about craft shows is you can see a lot
of potential customers in a short period of time. That's
an efficient way to turn a pile of product into a wad of
cash and that's the objective.
Then, here's the trick. If you do it right, the craft
show customers are your ticket to follow-up sales. With
a simple brochure and catalog you can build a mail order
and phone business and sell your products without ever
leaving home.
A customer list is just sitting there waiting for you
to mail them a catalog highlighting your new offers.
They WILL order
and you WILL
make profits, all from home. If you ever see a soap
business for sale you want to know if they have a
mailing list. It's potentially gold...
That's why if you wonder how to start with soap
business marketing, then one of the easy ways to
get going is at a craft show. If you wonder about how to
start a soap business, then at least consider starting
as many others have... Start with local markets...
Branch out from there and market in dozens of other ways
too.
