If so, do you have any success. I was considering offering soaps in my local market when I have a few really nice extra bars available or when I've made too much and need to clear out some of the household stash.
The reason I am asking: There is an artist in our community...not great in my opinion, but he occasionally has some nice pieces. He does a commissioned projects, but occasionally if he does a piece the client didn't like/buy or he just gets inspired to do a non-commissioned piece he lists it on FB, adn they seem to sell frequently. These are pieces that range $150-$250. I have tons of friends who see my soap on FB and ask if I sell it. Often, either because they don't know the hand-made soap market or they think because I don't do it professionally that I'm looking to give it away, they sometimes seem surprised that I would ask even $5/par. I figure if I could list it on FB (or even my own blog) they could look it over and decide if they want it, and there is already a price attached, so we avoid awkward conversations in the hallway of church or Kroger.
Excellent thoughts. Thank you. I already have a few blog pages: 1 for Bible Study and another for wine collecting. It would be easy to add a commerce page. Hadn't thought of that.I would say build a basic website then. If your selling a lot, I would recommend Shopify, but there are a few options like Big Cartel that are cheaper and work just as well (Or if your web-savvy there is always WordPress). That way, you have a place to send people that looks professional. You can still list on Facebook Marketplace, especially if your not looking to sell a lot at once.
Oh my drama llama!
