    Opinions on small shows with multiple soap vendors

    $60 for 2 days is amazing! Most shows here are $75/day and have maybe 200-400 ppl through the door at most.

    Why the hostility from cold and hot process soapers? A brief encounter

    I love the creativity that goes into mp soap. Some are so pretty and there's tons you can do with it that you can't with cp. BUT my skin hates it. I've tried numerous bases over the years and haven't really liked any of them. I totally agree with the comment about box cake mix vs from scratch...

    Sapphire Blue

    Yes it's busy season. Their orders seem to be shipping slower but that's typical this time of year. I'd contact them just to be sure. You can pay the rush fee and have your order sooner.

    Label crisis

    Can you just print more at a different size? Or cut down the ones you have?

    Opinions Needed Please - Logo Design

    I'm 28 and actually a graphic artist and have designed numerous logos. Honestly ... Don't like either. If I had to choose it'd be the top one with leaves. I really hate the pink one actually. Sorry. The vines are distracting and look juvenile to me. It's a design that was common 10 yrs ago and...

    Send me your etsy link and I'd be happy to do a critique. I've been running my one shop on there since 2007. I have 4 shops total. Just opened one a month ago and got sales my first week so I like to think I know a bit of what I'm doing. Lol

    My head is spinning, which printer?

    Are the bags fabric, paper, glassine?? Each will be different. Can't print on fabric bags, it'll ruin your printer or will jam. Glassine dont print well either. Ink jet smears on them, and the wax on them ruins laser printers plus they won't feed properly. Paper bags are doable on either type of...

    surefire scents that everyone can enjoy :)

    I hate oatmeal milk and honey, lavender (any floral really). I won't soap with them at all, they make me sick. I don't mind most fruity smells. Favorite is probably peppermint

    Website feedback

    Wouldn't load on my iphone 4 ... just slow and couldn't see ANY text. My PC finally loaded. It's running Windows 7 64bit and using Firefox browser. Text is easier to read but still blends too much. Plus the drop down menus have a drop shadow on the text that makes it hard to read. It makes it...

    Very slow. I actually can't give feedback because it took too long to load, I gave up. Sry!

    Sales pathetically low, what am I doing wrong?

    No problem! Etsy is my main selling venue - I have 4 shops (invites, soaps, graphic design, and jewelry). I'm always happy to help when it comes to Etsy. They're sneaky! Always changing the way things are found or how the site operates. Gotta stay on top of it! :)

    Sales pathetically low, what am I doing wrong?

    Relevancy is a combination of title and tags. But you won't show at all unless you have tags. If you check your stats, you'll see where the views are coming from. It usually takes a couple days to update, so I'm betting the views are coming from this forum since you posted the link here. Your...

    Sales pathetically low, what am I doing wrong?

    Yes you'll have a million times better results with search ads once your tags are fixed. Right now, I can't see anyone finding you. How many views are you getting per day and from search ads?

    Sales pathetically low, what am I doing wrong?

    Name logo, packaging etc ... great! All things that need to be done! As for your Etsy shop ... STOP THE ADS NOW!!! The only tags you have for your soaps are Bath and Beauty Soap Vegan. That's it!! You're allowed 13 tags - USE THEM. I've had great success with Etsy so anytime someone...

    Cutting soap straight.

    OK now I"m not sure whether to rejoice and burn the one I have or yell at hubby for watching me struggle all these years cutting and not mentioning that a mitre box would work!

    Cutting soap straight.

    What?? These have existed all this time and I've been using my crappy one that I hate?? Which store did you get it from?

    Laser printer for labels...right?

    I haven't used that specific printer, but I've always used HP and love them. :) I tried a Samsung once and immediately took it back. I get my labels from onlinelabels.com and never had a problem with them melting etc. Really a laser machine should never get that hot. If it's a decent printer...

    Laser printer for labels...right?

    Yes, laser all the way! Don't worry about photo quality etc. I bet you won't even notice a difference. Plus laser is cheaper in the long run. I run a stationery business full time and we use laser for everything. Here's a look at some of my labels using a 7 yr old beast of a laser machine :)

    Know of any DIY soap display ideas?

    Yup I gave him some of hubby's homemade pumpkin beer and some beer soap. :) Seriously such a relief I don't have to worry about these anymore. He said it took him all of 15 mins and if I need more to just let him know. I told my SIL to keep him around. lol
