My first big wholesale order :-)

[meeplesoap]

I am so glad I read all the articles out there about selling locally, because it turned me on to the interest in local ingredients! After testing out my product, I took it around to some tourist-y places today and got some very positive feedback and interest! My very first large order - for a date sugar & agave soap - 400 bars to start with, and 600 bars per month starting in November!!

I am glad I set a reasonable wholesale price (which they didn't blink at) otherwise I'd be making tons of soap and getting paid next to nothing for it otherwise.

Very happy day indeed!

Wow, that is exciting. I have to ask - what is date sugar and agave soap? A fragrance? Soap made with date sugar and agave syrup? Got my curiosity going. Congratulations!

Are those full sized bars, or smaller hotel sized? Either way, that is a fantastic order!

They are for 4 oz bars. It's soap made with California ingredients; avocado oil, date sugar, goat's milk, and agave syrup. I ordered more molds and already use a very large pot, so with masterbatching I can comfortably make 80 bars a day*, if I want to push it or I have a stretch of time off, I can double that.

We bought a five bedroom house expecting to have children, but then found out we couldn't so we have room to spare inside. I just have to get some shelves put together tomorrow and get started!

*80 bars in 4 hours with waiting for everything to cool, and I assume I will continue to have other errands and responsibilities.

Congratulations. That is a good size order. I know I would never want to soap that much every month. Man have 800 bars curing is alot. I would not handle the smell all the time. LOL
